Finding that perfect outfit or searching for adaptive clothing that is both comfortable and fashionable can be tricky when you’re disabled. Also, being able to dress independently and with dignity can be challenging if you have poor motor skills or dexterity issues.
Thankfully, the Disability Horizons Shop has the solution with its collection of adaptive clothing brands, all of which have discreet, accessible fastenings, wider openings and wheelchair-friendly designs.
Joe & Bella
Joe & Bella is a US-based adaptive clothing brand that focuses on everyday style alongside practical design features. The company was founded after the team saw first-hand how traditional clothing could create barriers for people living with mobility changes, arthritis, and neurological conditions.
Their range includes shirts, trousers, and outerwear designed to support easier dressing. Many pieces use magnetic closures in place of traditional buttons, helping people who experience limited hand strength, tremors, or reduced dexterity fasten clothing more independently. Some trousers are designed with seated wear in mind, taking into account comfort for wheelchair users and access needs for those managing catheters or leg bags.
What stands out about Joe & Bella is their emphasis on dignity and familiarity. Rather than creating garments that look clinical, the brand focuses on contemporary styles that resemble standard high street clothing. This can make a difference for people who want clothing that works for their body without drawing attention to access features.
The brand regularly references feedback from disabled customers and caregivers in shaping design updates, including adjustments to magnet strength, seam placement, and fabric choice.
Joe & Bella currently ship within the United States. Disability Horizons readers can use the code HORIZON10 for 10% off a first order. Shop here!

The Able Lable collection – from £15.00
Able Label
Able Label is a UK-based adaptive clothing brand offering everyday wardrobe staples designed with practical access features in mind. The range includes tops, trousers, knitwear, and underwear adapted to support easier dressing for people who experience limited dexterity, reduced mobility, or sensitivity to seams and fastenings.
Many garments replace traditional buttons with magnetic or hook-and-loop fastenings, and some styles are designed to be easier to put on while seated. The focus is on classic, familiar designs rather than specialist-looking clothing, which can be important for people who want garments that feel like their usual wardrobe.
Although Disability Horizons Shop no longer stocks Able Label, readers can visit the Able Label website directly for their latest collections.

Seenin children’s back-opening zip sleepsuit – £28.95
The Seenin children’s back-opening zip sleepsuit provides a cosy, comfortable night’s sleep for children with disabilities – such as autism or a learning disability.
Thanks to the zip-opening back, the Seenin sleepsuit is ideal to prevent children from wriggling out of their clothes when it’s not appropriate. The zip continues down the centre of the back and along the inside leg, for easy opening and access for changes.
The nightwear is created from soft, cotton jersey fabric and you can choose between a footless or footed sleepsuit (up to age 13-14 for the latter), and soles are lined with non-slip gripper fabric.
It is available in a range of colours – navy and red, peach and plum or navy and turquoise – and comes in seven sizes for children between the ages of 3 to 16.
UK VAT exemption is available if your child has a qualifying condition.
Go to the Disability Horizons Shop to treat your child to a Seenin children’s back-opening zip sleepsuit. Plus, check out the rest of the Seenin product range available.

Greeper sports shoelaces – £5.95
Worrying about tying your shoelaces shouldn’t be a consideration when you’ve got your new favourite sport or activity to practice. With these Greeper sports shoelaces, you no longer have to.
Greepers are award-winning patented shoelaces that simply do not come undone yet can be loosened and tightened with ease.
These adapted sports laces are ideal if you have limited dexterity or motor skills, offering a simple and easy-to-use solution to traditional shoelaces.
They are highly inclusive and have been heralded as the best buy product by Triathlon magazine.
They also have the backing of occupational therapists and physiotherapists and are used by well-known athletes, such as Chrissie Wellington MBE, Rachel Joyce and Tom Lowe, as an alternative to elastic alternatives.
