It depends on the season and your outfit. In summer, a bag or backpack works well — tuck the box deep inside, wrapped in something soft like a t-shirt. In winter, an inner coat pocket is usually your easiest option since the extra layers hide the bulk. The golden rule either way: pick a spot your partner would never think to look, and practice pulling the box out smoothly before the big moment.
