Home » Fashion »  Dress Sense »  Fashion Tips for Women with Osteoporosis Osteoporosis can change the shape of your body. Your spine gets slightly curved, your shoulders get rounded and your waistline thickens. Osteoporosis causes loss of height as well.

With these changes, it is difficult to wear certain kinds of clothes. You should focus on hiding the obvious changes in your body. The styles and the fitting are of prime importance now.

Just trying out various clothes can be a problem. Jackets, shirts, tops and blouses will pull and stretch awkwardly across the back. Collars don't stand well. In fact they sometimes fall apart and gape awkwardly. Skirts don't fall well. They look clumsy and graceless.

Women with osteoporosis should wear loose fitting clothes with straight cuts. Tight fits should be avoided.

Round necks or soft cowl necks are the more flattering ones. Avoid plunging necklines or large square necklines.

Raglan sleeves are recommended. Avoid sleeveless and tight sleeves.

Choose elastic waistbands. These accommodate changes in your figure and help you be comfortable too.

Shawls and scarves can be used effectively to camouflage the rounded shoulders and spine. Use them well. Choose colours that bring out the best in your face.

Shoulder pads can offset drooping shoulders.

Always wear flat-heeled comfortable footwear. You're very vulnerable to loosing your balance and taking a fall with awkward shoes. The smallest of falls can cause a fracture that may never be repaired. Never ever compromise on safe shoes.
