OneTee T-shirt: Adaptive Clothing for People with Disabilities

Founded in Singapore in 2017 by Elisa Lim, the brand Will and Well has introduced the OneTee—a new development in adaptive clothing designed to address the daily functional challenges people with disabilities face when getting dressed. Key design features include magnetic fasteners at the collar for adjustable neck width and enlarged armholes made of breathable fabric, simplifying the dressing process and minimizing discomfort related to mobility issues.

The shirt's design also considers the needs of wheelchair users and individuals with sensory sensitivities. The garment is equipped with side zippers that allow for length adjustments while seated, preventing the fabric from bunching up. To provide sensory comfort for neurodivergent users, the hem features silicone "Pop-it" inserts, while Braille is included to help the visually impaired identify the piece. The creation of this adaptive apparel resulted from a collaboration between Will and Well and the creative agency Splash Productions, involving extensive consultations with people with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals throughout 2025.

New color options—navy blue and red—were unveiled on April 9, 2026, at the "Diversity Dialogue" event in Singapore. Elisa Lim noted a significant rise in demand for adaptive clothing, which is intended to provide comfort, dignity, and independence.

The OneTee is priced at $68 USD, with a portion of the sales proceeds going to charities focused on diversity and inclusion.

The adaptive clothing market is showing steady growth, driven by rising awareness of inclusive fashion and an aging population, as more than 1.3 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. Market size forecasts for 2026 vary: some estimates reach $60.6 million, while others hit $0.3 billion, with projected growth to $100.72 million or $0.37 billion by 2034–2035. This trend is likely to extend to major fashion brands as well. Tommy Hilfiger already features an Adaptive line, which actively incorporates magnetic fasteners and other modifications to improve accessibility without sacrificing aesthetics.
