It can be hard to handle a diagnosis of Scoliosis.It doesn't have to be a fashion prison sentence if you wear a brace to fix your spine.No one will notice the brace if you hide it and still look great.
Step 1: Your waist size should be increased to fit your pants.
The brace is over the hip.To fit pants over the brace, you need to go up one size.When shopping for pants, be sure to wear your brace.If increasing the size makes the pants seem too big on you, you can have a tailor take in the seams on the legs for a better fit.
Step 2: Try stretchy jeans.
It can be difficult to fit jeans in a brace.The combination of denim and lycra gives some jeans more flexibility than your average pair of jeans.If you are trying to stretch the waistband over the brace and find that going up in size is creating a poor fit for the rest of the pant, this can be helpful.
Step 3: Don't wear pants with a low waist.
Low rise pants are not as trendy as they used to be.If you want to wear pants to cover the bottom of the brace, you can find pants with a higher rise.
Step 4: Under your brace you should have elastic-waisted pants.
Try to fit pants without buttons and under the brace.These will cause pain and dig into your skin.Under the brace, jeggings and leggings are in style.While guys don't want to wear leggings and jeggings, they can still take advantage of elastic waistbands by wearing gym shorts, sweats or jogging pants.There are pants with elastic waists that can be stretched over the top of the brace.
Step 5: Go along with the flow.
There are shirts that fit over the brace.The shape of the mechanism will be revealed if you hug the brace.You don't want to lose your body shape with a shirt that is too baggy.Pick a shirt with shape, but which lays over the brace.Guys and girls can cover the brace with button down shirts.Girls should try fabrics and shirts that flow from top to bottom.You will be warmer because of the brace.Air flow and lighter material can be used for shirts.
Step 6: The brace should be covered by a thick material.
The thicker your shirt is, the less likely the brace will be visible through it.The brace will not show through if you cover it with a sweater or sweatshirt.
Step 7: Distract with what is being said.
The more adornments you have, the more camouflaged your brace will be.These tricks can include more than one.The lines of the brace will be less visible if you choose a shirt with stripes or plaid.
Step 8: The tail should be left in the room.
A shirt with tails is what you will want.The part of the brace that extends over your hips will be covered by this.If you are wearing pants under your brace, this is helpful.The exposed brace will be covered by a long shirt.Try button down shirts, sweaters, long t-shirts and tanks.
Step 9: Match the shape of the brace.
If you have a Chneau brace, you can cover it with an asymmetrical shirt that follows the lines of the brace over one shoulder and longer on the other side.This will cover both the top and the bottom of the brace.The asymmetrical shape can help counter the curve of your spine by creating the illusion of an opposite curve.
Step 10: There is a seamless tank top underneath.
This is recommended for people who have a brace that reaches high into the armpit.A tank top that rises higher will make you more comfortable.When your brace is tightened, you want to avoid ribbed tanks or seams.You will have enough to change out every day if you buy several tanks.Gap's Modern Crew t-shirt is a good choice.
Step 11: Pull the hoodie over your head.
When the weather is cool, hoodies and cardigans are a great addition to your wardrobe.The thick material and hoodies make a perfect cover for a brace.The extra buffer between the brace and the exterior layer is given by wearing them over other shirts.
Step 12: You need to dress up your outfit.
While covering the shape of the brace, the outer layer of a jacket or sport coat can add class and style.Adding a shoulder pad to the inside of your jacket's shoulders is a way to balance out your stance.
Step 13: Match a tight first layer with a loose second layer.
If you want to wear a tighter dress or tunic tank, you can add a second, flowing layer, like a light sweater, over the top to cover any lines of the brace and still allow you to comfortably wear the tighter layer underneath.
Step 14: The top of the brace needs to be covered.
If the tips of the brace are visible above the neckline of your shirt, you can drape a scarf around your neck.The attention is drawn to you face and away from the brace.scarfs are great for this purpose and will keep you covered.
Step 15: You should tie a belt around your waist.
This can give you shape at your waist, and the thickness of the belt can be pulled tight against your brace without revealing any lines underneath.The trick is to wear a long tunic and leggings.
Step 16: The area of the brace can be avoided with a bold piece of jewelry.
Don't worry about the brace, focus on your style.If you want to draw attention away from your brace to your bracelet, get a bold piece of jewelry or an amazing pair of shoes.
