Finding comfortable, sensory-friendly clothing can feel overwhelming—especially if you or your child is neurodivergent. With so many options and “sensory” features on the market, how do you know what actually works? At Hues Clothing, we’ve spent years researching, testing, and listening to families to create basics that feel as good as they look. And with the upcoming launch of Hues V2, we’re excited to bring even more thoughtful options to your wardrobe.
Here’s what you need to know about sensory-friendly clothing, how to choose the best pieces, and what makes our new collection different.
What Is Sensory-Friendly Clothing?
Sensory-friendly clothing is designed to reduce irritation and support comfort for people who are sensitive to certain fabrics, seams, or fits. While it’s especially helpful for people with autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent experiences, everyone can benefit from clothing that feels good.
Key features to look for:
Soft, breathable fabrics: Cotton, bamboo, and other natural fibres help prevent overheating and irritation.
Tag-free or removable tags: No more scratchy labels digging into skin.
Minimal, flat seams: Reduces chafing and sensory overload.
Simple designs: No unnecessary embellishments or textures that can cause discomfort.
Flexible, well-fitting basics: Looser fits allow for freedom of movement and comfort.
Why Sensory-Friendly Clothing Matters (for Everyone)
Sensory-friendly clothing is essential for many neurodivergent people, but comfort is a universal need. Anyone can feel distracted or overwhelmed by itchy, tight, or synthetic clothing. Prioritising comfort helps with:
Emotional regulation: Feeling physically at ease supports mental well-being.
Focus and learning: Less distraction from clothing means more energy for important tasks.
Confidence and self-expression: When you feel good in your clothes, you’re more likely to engage in the world around you.
Making Informed Choices: Practical Tips
From our years of experience at Hues, here’s what we recommend for families and individuals searching for sensory-friendly clothing:
Feel the fabric: Choose materials that you (or your child) genuinely like to touch. Look for soft, natural fibres like cotton or bamboo.
Check the seams: Flat or minimal seams are less likely to cause irritation.
Go tag-free: If a tag is present, make sure it’s easy to remove.
Prioritise fit: Clothes should be comfortable—not too tight, not too loose.
Avoid unnecessary extras: Sometimes, less is more. Simple, thoughtfully designed basics often work best.
Let your child choose: If possible, involve your child in selecting colours or styles they feel good in.
Behind the Seams: The Hues Approach
Launching Hues V2 has been a journey of listening, learning, and refining. Here’s how we approach product development:
Fabric testing: We’ve sampled hundreds of fabrics to find the softest, most breathable, and sustainable options.
Community feedback: Every change in our new collection is based on real feedback from families—what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing from the market.
Colour without compromise: Unlike many sensory-friendly brands, we don’t believe you should have to choose between comfort and colour. Our basics are available in bold, block colours—no itchy sequins or uncomfortable embellishments.
Ethical production: All our clothing is made in the UK, in partnership with manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.

Creating a More Inclusive World—For Everyone
When we make the world more friendly for neurodivergent people, we make it better for everyone. From better lighting and acoustics in public spaces to clothing that truly feels good, small changes make a big difference. At Hues, we hope to inspire broader conversations about how uniforms, workplace dress codes, and everyday basics can be redesigned for real comfort—especially for neurodivergent people.
