Recovering from hip replacement surgery can be challenging, but the right clothing can make a world of difference. Comfort, ease of movement, and convenience should be top priorities when choosing what to wear during your recovery.
Here are our top clothing recommendations to help you feel comfortable and confident as you heal.
Trousers with an elasticated waistband are an excellent choice, being pull-on, they allow for easy dressing without unnecessary bending or strain. Avoid tight-fitting clothing that may restrict movement or put pressure on the surgical area. Nearly all our trousers feature elasticated waistbands, but we especially recommend:
Our wrap-around skirts are designed for effortless dressing. They fully open, so there's no need to bend down; simply lay the skirt open on a bed, sit back into it, and wrap it around you before fastening. Perfect for maintaining independence while recovering. We'd recommend:
Delia Below Knee A-Line Linen Look VELCRO® Brand Fastening Wrap Skirt
Shirts and blouses that open at the front are ideal, these garments allow you to dress with minimal assistance whilst keeping you comfortable as they eliminate the need to raise your arms too high or twist your body. This makes dressing easier and more comfortable, especially in the early stages of recovery when mobility may be limited.
Supportive footwear is crucial to prevent falls and ensure stability. Choose slip-on shoes or those with easy Velcro fastenings to avoid bending down while dressing.
Compression socks are an excellent way to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and lower the risk of blood clots after surgery. Which can be especially beneficial in the first few weeks post-surgery.
Choosing the right clothing can make your recovery period much smoother and more comfortable. We've made things a bit easier with our newest collection filled with pieces perfect for post surgery, shop below.
