A couple years ago there was discourse in the CI/disabled community (particularly the IF/m*lingerer-obsessed portion) that stigmatized adults wearing youth clothes as being infantile and regressive, but, hot take:

Adaptive kids' clothing is available at T*rget in large sizes.
The adaptive kids' clothes at Target are softer and have flat seams, easier to put on/take off, more durable than the fast fashion adult clothing available at the same store. Their largest sizes can accommodate smaller size adults, and the cuts are very forgiving for wheelchairs.
What I'm saying here is that a good 1/4 of my practical wardrobe is from the Target boys' section and has been very good to me; there are plenty of neutral designs that are suitable for me, a grown ass man, to wear in public and not feel self-conscious.
And I'm probably gonna keep wearing those clothes until the far-off someday where adults' adaptive fashion expands into brands that the average buyer doesn't have to pay designer prices for buy exclusively online, which is currently the case with mainstream adaptive brands.
(The ones with higher rises are clearly marked "adaptive," but the other overall high rise waist styles might also be suitable to your needs if you like that particular style.)
Just a final note to wrap up this thread, making disabled people pay $80 for a three-pack of adaptive underpants when a standard 3-pack of underpants on the same website is under $30 is highway fucking robbery: https://www.zappos.com/p/undercare-3-pack-mid-rise-adaptive-brief-white-black-gray/product/9316550/color/37937
I realize now that this whole thread is the equivalent of the time I made Wrench mad by comparing sriracha to ketchup 3 years ago and her still being mad about it to this day, but I'm probably gonna die mad about people on r/IF shitting on wearing adaptive kids' clothes lmao
