“…When considering the elderly as consumers and analyzing their purchasing activities or consumption tendency, they are sometimes distinguished from the existing seniors by calling them in their 50s to 60s by using the term "new senior" [4,5]. Unlike past elderly age groups, the new senior age group, led by the baby boomer generation, is socially active and is not hesitant to spend considerable time and money on aspects of themselves including appearance and health [6,7]. Sherman et al [8] predicted that the market for the elderly would grow into a leading consumer market in the 21st century and defined the elderly as "young-again-rich."…”

A bra use can reduce physiological and physical functions because of clothing pressure, which can be a problem for new senior women starting to lose physical function. The present study presents a bra top design development method for promoting new senior women’s physical activity by identifying problems related to bras’ effects on women’s health and minimizing clothing pressure. The analysis utilized the 3D scan data of 42 adult women (age range: 50s) from the 5th Size Korea Project. Bra top design elements were extracted based on new senior consumers’ needs. We developed an average wireframe reflecting the new senior’s physical characteristics, and a standard body form was developed through surface modeling. To produce a consumer-oriented bra with a body shaping effect and reduced clothing pressure that would not affect physical activities, a three-dimensional pattern was developed applying an optimal reduction rate of 80%. To verify the bra’s adequacy for the body form of new senior women, two market-available bras were selected and fit-compared to the developed product. The developed bra received higher expert appearance evaluation and 3D virtual clothing evaluation scores. This study is significant because by using virtual fitting technology, it provides foundational data to quantify the quality of fashion products.

“…The new senior generation, focusing on baby boomers, is especially active in society unlike past generations, and are divided as a new type of elderly generation that yearns for a comfortable and easy life and is highly interested in enjoying healthy senior years (Lee & Chun, 2012). The generation of elders aged 50 and above, categorized as the new senior generation, is a socially and economically stable generation, and not only places importance on changes in body shape, but also on elements like design and color that reflect their psychology and lifestyle, etc.…”

“…The functional underwear market is becoming active recently, focusing on the overseas clothing market, and the demand for elderly underwear is expected to grow in the domestic market, too (Lee & Chun, 2012). However, analysis of underwear related demands are currently limited to research and development with younger people as subjects, and there is a lack of studies that analyze the situation of wear by seniors and their needs, and research product development that reflects such analysis.…”

: Due to recent changes in increased life expectancy, economic power and social development, the new senior generation (focusing on people in their fifties) represents a new market power with strong competitiveness. The new senior generation is the generation after the baby boomers, with characteristics that include a high-level of education, increased income, a high-level of consumption, increased assets, self-fulfillment desires and individuality. Demands in the senior fashion industry are expected to gradually increase and the underwear industry that targets the new senior generation is expected to grow rapidly. These demands will require product development for the new senior generation based on emotional and socio-cultural characteristics. The current new senior underwear market is under the process of R&D with a focus on body shape changes; however, there are limited studies on emotional and socio-cultural approaches. This study formulates a basic design plan for different age groups based on an analysis of the situation of bra wear (current inconveniences, demand and needs) by women in their fifties and over. Subsequently, a functional active bra top that considers activity and comfort was proposed for women in their fifties, an all-in-one foundation bra top that shapes the body was proposed for women in their sixties, and comfort bra tops that are comfortable and easy to put on and take off were proposed for women in their seventies and over.
