Hey, perfectly Imperfect, friends! Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the perfect excuse to indulge in some serious online shopping therapy. You know, the kind where you actually click “buy now” instead of just filling your cart with all the trendy must-haves and abandoning it later (no judgment here, though – I’m pretty sure my online “window shopping” skills could qualify me for a full-time job with overtime pay!).
But this time, let’s make it count! Instead of just scrolling endlessly and building a cart full of items destined to live in checkout limbo (we’ve all been there), I’ve done the heavy lifting for you.
As someone who rocks AFOs and lives with a disability, you know that fashion should be fearless, fabulous, and totally on your terms. So, grab a glass of prosecco, get comfy, and let’s spill the tea on six of the top spring 2025 trends that are about to take your style game to the next level. From chic to comfortable, these trends are all about embracing your unique flair and strutting into spring with confidence and a whole lot of sass!
Flats are where it’s at for spring 2025, and we’re not just talking about any old flat! We’re talkin’ about the ultimate comeback kids: retro sneakers and Mary Janes! Imagine slipping into a pair of vintage-inspired sneakers that scream ‘70s or ‘80s cool, complete with soft leather, muted tones, and even Velcro straps (because who doesn’t love a good Velcro moment?).
Or, picture yourself in a pair of Mary Janes, those classic shoes that are back with a modern twist—think bold colors, multiple straps, and yes, more Velcro for those of us who are over wrestling with buckles. Both styles are all about comfort and nostalgia, with AFO-friendly features like removable footbeds, wide toe boxes, and extra-wide widths. Whether you’re heading to dinner or a casual weekend brunch, these flats are the perfect choice.
Pair them with a flowy floral maxi dress and an adaptive denim jacket for an on-trend chic boho look, or with a fun colorful tee and pull-on linen trousers or jeans for a cool laid-back vibe—either way, you’ll be rocking the season’s coolest trends with ease and style!
Pro Tip:
You can turn any flat shoe that fits into an embellished and secure Mary Jane style flat by adding an embellished elastic shoe band to a plan extra-wide and extra depth flat. Pretty cool, right?

This spring, get ready to set sail for a fashion adventure that’s all about blending practicality with style. Preppy stripes are back in a big way, especially with the nautical theme that’s making waves everywhere. Imagine pairing a striped Breton-style top with wide-leg jeans for a chic, coastal look that’s perfect for a casual day out—think sailing vibes without the actual sailing (unless you’re into that, in which case, go for it!). And don’t even get us started on pastels—they’re back and better than ever!
This season, coastal chic meets preppy flair with a dash of ladylike elegance, creating a look that’s effortlessly cool yet totally polished.
Imagine pairing a classic and over the head, striped tee with a pair of super flattering pull-on white jeans! Add a super cute open weave cardigan (the gold buttons are really just decorative) and you’re basically sailing into style town. Cable-knit sweaters in soft pastel hues are also making waves, especially when layered with pearl necklaces or bracelets for a timeless yet trendy vibe.
But here’s the fun part: you can totally mix and match these styles to create your own unique look. Want to go full-on nautical? Rock a coastal inspired maxi dress, or striped pull-on linen pant set—perfect for a beachy brunch or a stroll along the coast.
And don’t forget the accessories! Chunky gold chains add a bold touch, while nautical-inspired jewelry like starfish earrings or seashell pendants (they even have magnetic clasps) bring a playful seaside vibe.
Top it all off with a trendy raffia handbag with a crossbody strap, and you’re ready to take on the season in style. It’s all about blending the laid-back charm of coastal chic with the sophistication of preppy and ladylike fashion—think rosé on a sailboat, but make it fashion!.

Let’s face it—athleisure isn’t just a trend; it’s a lifestyle. And in 2025, it’s stepping up its game with luxe fabrics that make it perfect for everyone, including those rocking AFOs or navigating mobility challenges.
Say goodbye to basic sweats and hello to buttery-soft cashmere joggers, silk hoodies, and matching sets that look just as good at brunch as they do on your couch. Whether you’re running errands, catching up with friends, or just vibing at home, athleisure is here to keep you comfy while serving serious style.
Matched sets are super trendy this spring and a great way to look stylish while still feeling comfortable. Whether you’re running errands or meeting friends for brunch, athleisure is the perfect choice for a relaxed yet put-together look.

Many of us, like myself, living with disabilities such as neuropathy, hand tremors, or fine motor weakness, tend to shy away from denim due to the frustration of dealing with zippers and buttons. But fear not! In 2025, there’s a plethora of stylish pull-on denim options that are both chic and accessible.
Think elasticated waistbands, comfy and concealed, making it a breeze to slip them on independently. No more zipper or button headaches – just effortless style! And if you’re rocking AFOs, these jeans are a total game-changer, offering a hassle-free way to get dressed while still keeping things stylish.
Let’s talk style: Low-rise jeans? Meh. Let’s be honest—most of us over 50 aren’t exactly lining up to relive the early 2000s waistband wars. But hey, if low-rise is your thing, rock it with confidence as it’s definitely on trend this spring! For the rest of us, bootcut jeans are making a huge major comeback, and the new styles will elongate your legs like it’s 2005 again but with a modern twist that feels fresh and flattering.
And don’t sleep on wide-leg, baggy, barrel, carpenter, and trouser style denim —they’re still going strong this spring with their relaxed fit and effortless vibe. Add some cuffed hems into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a look that’s equal parts cool and comfy.
Pair your pull-on jeans with a striped, over the head top for an on trend preppy and put together look, or pair them with an over-the-head embroidered and flowy blouse for a more laid-back boho chic look.

Boho chic is back in 2025, but this time it’s all grown up—sleeker, more modern, and disability-friendly.
Pair a breezy peasant blouse with pull-on jeans or a flowy maxi skirt for a look that’s effortless and functional. Bonus points if you add some coastal touches like shell jewelry or a woven tote bag to channel those beachy vibes.
Adaptive fashion has brought boho chic into the inclusive era, making it easier than ever to embrace this free-spirited aesthetic. Brands like Anthropologie are leading the charge with accessible designs that feature thoughtful modifications like magnetic snaps, easy-access zippers, and customizable lengths. These updates mean no wrestling with tiny buttons or impossible closures—just slip into your favorite boho pieces and go.
Whether you’re layering an embroidered crochet vest over a graphic tee with wide-leg pull-on jeans or rocking a full denim-on-denim look, the new boho chic is all about blending practicality with style.
This spring’s western motif adds a cool, rugged touch to the bohemian vibe – one that celebrates freedom, creativity, and inclusivity for everyone. So go ahead, slip on that flowy dress, stack those bracelets, and show the world that style knows no limits!
Adaptive bras are no longer just a necessity; they’re a stylish must-have for anyone who values ease and comfort without sacrificing style.

Accessories are the easiest way to refresh your spring wardrobe and express yourself without breaking the bank.

Hi Lainie
I was checking in to see if there are any nicer and less plastic AFO’s out there that don’t look that bad if you wore shorts or a dress. I have worn the plastic up to the top of the calf now for 20 years and will not wear shorts or dresses outside. I live in SEast Florida and its very hot here year round. Can you share anything new to help those who are hiding the Afo.s. I appreciate anyhelp.
