Ostomy Life

Clothing With
an Ostomy

Style tips, outfit ideas, and real-life ways to feel confident in your clothes again, no matter where you are in your ostomy journey.

You Deserve to Feel Confident
in Your Clothes

Clothing with an ostomy can feel overwhelming at first. I remember standing in my closet not knowing what would work or how anything would fit. Over time, I learned what styles helped me feel confident, comfortable, and like myself again. This page brings together everything that helped me, so you can skip the fear and get back to feeling beautiful, stylish, and secure in your clothes. You are NOT alone in this!

What Works Best
With an Ostomy

  • ● High-waisted EVERYTHING
  • ● Wrap + A-line dresses
  • ● Jumpsuits with defined waists
  • ● Stretchy fabrics that move with you
  • ● Thicker materials that smooth your bag
  • ● Ruching (great for blending)
  • ● Layering (light cardigans, denim jackets)
  • ● Statement belts above your pouch
  • ● Ostomy wraps or high-rise smoothing shorts
