Dressing With Your Scoliosis Brace
Figuring out what to wear with a big piece of plastic wrapped around you can be a bit challenging at first. Here you will find information about what to wear under your brace and what to wear on top.
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 the enemy! They can 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.
Under the Undershirt
