Accessibility report for hugoboss.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on September 22, 2026.
Under the ADA in the U.S. — and the European Accessibility Act in the EU — business websites must be accessible. hugoboss.com was checked against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and 6 types of barrier were flagged.
On this page, the most frequent barrier is "Some form fields have no label that screen readers can announce" — found on 1 element. In total the scan flagged 6 issues across 6 categories of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA, and the law across the EU under the European Accessibility Act. These barriers block screen-reader, keyboard-only, and low-vision users — and every one of them is fixable. Here's how.
The barriers on this page — and the fixes
Some form fields have no label that screen readers can announce.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader and cognitive-disability users
Why it matters: Visually you can see what each field is for (next to a 'Name:' or 'Email:' text), but screen-reader users hear only 'edit text' if there's no programmatic label connecting the text to the field. The result: blind users can't tell what to type where.
How to fix it: In a website builder, every form field has a 'Label' field or similar. Make sure every input has one filled in. Placeholder text (the gray hint inside the field) does NOT count as a label — it has to be a real label.
A button's visible text doesn't match the description it announces to screen readers.
WCAG 2.5.3 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: A user dictating 'click Submit' to voice-control software may see 'Submit' on screen but the announce-name is something else, so the voice command fails.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'aria-label should start with or fully contain the visible button text'.
An accessibility rule failed on this page.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Some users — particularly those using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or who have low vision or motor disabilities — may have trouble using this part of the page.
How to fix it: Share the technical rule ID with your developer. They can look up the full fix at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe.
The page tells mobile browsers users can't zoom in.
WCAG 1.4.4 (Level AA) EN 301 549 Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: People with low vision rely on pinch-zoom to read small text. Disabling zoom is a real WCAG failure and a common lawsuit target.
How to fix it: In platform site settings, look for a 'Mobile zoom' or 'Pinch zoom' option and enable it. If your developer added user-scalable=no in a viewport meta tag, ask them to remove it.
Fix these to meet the legal standard — at no cost
The free wcagcheckr browser extension finds every one of these issues on your own pages and gives you the fix recipe for each — at no cost. Run it, fix what it finds, and re-check this page anytime.

Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside).
Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by these regions. Content outside any region can be missed when skimming.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'wrap orphaned page content in semantic landmark elements (<main>, <aside>, <nav>) so it's reachable via landmark nav'.
Some images have alt text that duplicates nearby visible text.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users hear the same content twice — the surrounding text and then the alt text. Annoying, not blocking. Lower-priority fix.
How to fix it: Find images where the caption or nearby paragraph already says what the image shows, and either change the alt text to add new info or set the alt to empty (so the screen reader skips it as decorative).
This is an automated scan and catches a portion of accessibility barriers; full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance also requires manual and assistive-technology testing. See our methodology for what we do and don't claim.
