Dressing With Your Scoliosis Brace
Figuring out what to wear with your brace can be a bit challenging at first, but don't worry - we're here to help! Here you will find fashion tips for dressing with your brace, along with information about what to wear under your brace.
Shopping for Clothes
Whenever buying new clothes, be sure to try them on while wearing your scoliosis brace. Our best advice is to dress in whatever clothes make you feel most confident and comfortable! If you do not want your brace to be noticeable, try clothes that are loose fitting.
Pinterest and Instagram are great places to look for fashion advice (check out our Pinterest Page). YouTube is another great option. Below is one of the videos from Emma's YouTube channel @MyBackBrace.

Sample Outfits
Below are some outfits for both girls and guys that work well with scoliosis braces. Choose clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident.
The Ideal Undershirt
You want an extra layer of protection between your skin and your brace, so always wear a tight-fitting shirt underneath your scoliosis brace. Wrinkles are often be the enemy! They may create excessive pressure in certain areas and cause skin irritation.
If it's summertime or if you find that you are always hot in your brace, try to find shirts that have cooling properties. Brands that specialize in athletic wear will give you a lot of options.
For girls, bras without underwire may be more comfortable.
