Hey hey, perfectly imperfect fashionistas! Are you ready to slay Spring 2023 with some fresh and accessible outfits? Look no further because I have got some exciting trends for you that will make your outfits stand out from the rest! We’ve got the inside scoop on the top Spring 2023 trends and how to incorporate them into your wardrobe when you have a disability.
Spring 2023 is all about denim, with a range of fresh and exciting trends to choose from. Wide-leg jeans are making a comeback, providing a comfortable and chic alternative to skinny jeans.
High-waisted jeans are also still on-trend, giving us that flattering vintage look. And let’s not forget about colored denim, with pastels and brights being a popular choice for adding some fun and personality to your wardrobe.
For years, those of us with disabilities avoided jeans due to the angst of having to deal with their inherent zippers and buttons. But, not any more! Say goodbye to struggling with zippers and buttons, and hello to effortless style.
Think pull-on denim with a comfy elasticated waistband that you can easily slip on and off, without sacrificing style. Yes, we can all rock the latest denim trends this spring without any hassle or discomfort.
So, whether you’re into skinny jeans or wide-leg styles, there’s a pair of pull-on denim for you in a wide range of washes and colors.

Next up, AFO-friendly ankle-high boots. For those of us who wear orthoses or ankle braces, finding fashionable and comfortable footwear can be a pain in the butt. Booties are an ideal spring footwear choice for people with foot-drop and/or feet-related challenges as they offer built-in ankle support and added stability.
And, thanks to the growing adaptive fashion industry, there are now trendy ankle-high boots designed specifically for AFO wearers, like these stylish booties by adaptive shoe brand, Billy’s Footwear.

Deciding what to wear during the Springtime can be challenging regardless of whether or not you have a disability. It’s typically not warm enough yet for tank tops, and yet it’s often too warm for the heavy sweaters we put in storage. A great button down shirt is a smart and stylish choice for those spring transition weather days. But, as anyone with hand weakness and/or limited hand function knows, traditional buttons are a huge pain in the a#%.
But, thanks to several new adaptive fashion brands, people with disabilities can now incorporate button-down shirts into their wardrobes comfortably and easily with the addition of magnets.
Magnetic buttons make wearing button-down shirts not only possible but also super easy for people with disabilities.
The magnets are typically hidden behind the buttons making these shirts a breeze to fasten and unfasten. And the best part? They’re available in all sorts of fabrics, from cotton to silk, and a range of colors and patterns.
