When it’s cold outside or you’re in a place with a strict dress code, like school or work, it may be necessary to keep your brace covered up. Pick out loose-fitting garments like jeans or sweatpants that the brace will fit underneath easily. This will also keep the outline from being quite as visible.  Always strap on the brace first, followed by your clothes. It will work better the closer it is to the limb itself. Athletic style clothing tends to be baggy and offer a little stretch, which may be easier to manage than fitted pants. Most people will find that it’s easiest to get the brace on and off with no extra material to get in the way. Shorts will provide immediate access to your injured leg while promoting airflow so you don’t get too hot and stuffy. Shorts are perfect for accommodating longer types of braces (like hinged functional braces) which sit higher up on the leg. This will relieve the pressure around your knee and give your skin a chance to breathe. Be careful not to put too much weight on your injured leg while you’re not wearing the brace. It will probably be best to remain sitting or lying down.  You should remove your brace before showering or swimming to keep it from getting wet. Make sure to speak to your doctor about whether it’s okay to go unsupported, and for how long. Removing the brace periodically helps prevent marks and further injury, so it's an important step. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding brace removal.
