Concealed carry clothes offer the same look as a plainclothes police officer or a bodyguard as they conceal a shoulder or IWB holster. And they’re convenient for dress-casual concealed carriers, as well. Prints and dark colors help to hide the outline of a pistol. And some shirts even come with snaps that can be rapidly ripped open to clear the weapon.
Prints
While pants and holsters make the biggest difference in concealing, a good shirt or cover garment can help. Choosing a shirt that minimizes printing and allows you to draw easily is vital for undercover clothes. A shirt with a pattern or dark colors tends to hide the outline of your gun better than lighter-colored shirts.

Likewise, the texture of your shirt’s fabric can give away the outline of your gun, so choose a garment that’s soft and durable. A classic concealed-carry cover garment is an unbuttoned flannel or denim shirt that’s long or short-sleeved, worn untucked. This offers plenty of coverage and allows for using IWB or OWB holsters.
A shirt with a pocket designed to carry your pistol is another option. However, these pockets don’t have the retention and trigger guard needed for secure and safe carrying, so it’s best to stick with a solid concealment holster and belt instead. This will also avoid the risk of your weapon falling out when you bend or twist over, which could lead to an accidental discharge.
Knits
Typically made of thicker fabrics, these garments are great for concealed carry as they help hide a weapon and conceal the outline of your gun from others around you. Additionally, some of these shirts have weights on the hems that can be loaded with water or other objects to add weight and prevent the shirt from flapping over your weapon during movement, which could expose it to others.
Another good option is a holster shirt with built-in pocket holsters under each arm that hold a weapon for added security and ease of access. While these shirts don’t offer as much concealment for the waistline area, they provide a quick way to draw your weapon without removing any other clothing.
Most tailors are used to guys asking about concealed carry and can adjust clothing, making it easier to conceal and draw your weapon. However, always check with your tailor before bringing in your weapon so they can be prepared.

Tie-Front/Knot-Front Shirts
One of the season’s latest trends is a tie-front shirt or blouse. They’re usually made of light, airy fabrics like cotton, linen, and silk and often come with ruffled or pleated details that make them look feminine and fun. These shirts are also good travel and vacation pieces as they pack easily, wrinkle minimally and work well with most pants and skirts.
Tie-front tops can be styled in various ways depending on the occasion. You can pair a cute crop style with jeans and sneakers for a casual outing or wear a pencil skirt and heels for a more formal occasion.
