Mastering the Art of Sling Fashion

Opt for Short Sleeves. When dealing with a cast or splint, opt for short sleeves, tank tops, or camisoles, especially in warmer weather. These lightweight options are easier to put on with an arm injury than long-sleeved garments. Slip on your short-sleeved shirt before securing your sling each morning.

Layer Your Sling Underneath. Avoid the hassle of maneuvering your arm in and out of sleeves by wearing your sling under your outerwear. If it's chilly, layer your sling beneath your coat or jacket, draping it over your shoulders without using the sleeves. This not only keeps you warm but also adds a stylish touch!

• You can even place your unaffected arm in the coat's sleeve and tuck the unused sleeve into the pocket.

Get Creative: Use Leg Warmers to Keep Your Arms Warm. When short sleeves won't cut it in the cold, consider an unconventional fix - leg warmers! Head to a dance supply store, pick out your favorite color, and slip one over your sling or cast. Then, layer up to stay cozy. You can even repurpose Old Sweaters to craft your own leg warmers.

Protect Your Injury from Irritation. Whatever clothing you choose, prioritize soft fabrics that won't irritate your skin or aggravate your injury. Ensure that putting on and removing jackets, cardigans, or suits doesn't cause discomfort. If donning a coat proves challenging, it might be best to go without.

Stay True to Your Style. Aim to maintain your personal style while prioritizing convenience and comfort. Remember, people care about you, not your sling. There's no need to feel self-conscious.

• Embrace Softness and Comfort.
• Prioritize Convenience.
• Simplicity Works Wonders.
