I love each season as new trends and fashions come into play. I selected seven clothing items you can add into your wardrobe this season that will elevate your concealed carry style.

So have fun this season mixing things up. Don’t be afraid to try out new styles; if you think you can’t pull something, I challenge to give it a try.

I've talked about it before, and I will continue to mention it, but concealed carry takes practice and experimenting. I make every attempt to keep with my overall style and make adjustments where I see fit. One of those adjustments are the shirts I wear.

If you've decided to carry concealed, then selecting a holster is one of the next biggest decisions to make after selecting your firearm. One of the many gun related questions I get the most is, what holster should I get?

I'm about to add a bit more fuel to that frustration by letting you know that there isn’t a one-size fits all holster for women just like there isn’t a one-size fits all gun for women.

It’s easy to succumb to the winter lifestyle of piling on thick heavy layers. After all, it is cold and depending on what mother nature has in store, probably snowing. Personally, I don’t want to leave my house when it’s like that. However, life doesn’t stop just because it’s cold out.

That method of dressing is perfectly fine for a quick coffee run or weekend errands, it’s basically my go to. However, as women, there isn’t any fault in wanting to look cute even though mother nature wants to try to hold our style down.

If you’ve been an SMT reader from the beginning, then you know I’m a ride or die jeans kind of girl.

I have nothing against women that live in their leggings, it’s just never been me. You won't find me running errands on the weekend in athleisure wear.

One of the things that you may not have realized that plays a factor in carrying is your jean/pant rise. The pant rise trends have definitely come and gone from low rise to high waisted. Let me tell you that back when low rise jeans were on-trend, I was all about them. The lower the better. Hello butt crack! However, the first time I attempted to carry in them it was a disaster.

For years, I've always worn a tank top under most of my tops. I used to only do it in the winter when wearing sweaters to keep the itchy fabric from bothering my skin but then I soon started doing it with other tops. Some of my shirts are thinner in fabric and in direct sunlight they can look pretty sheer so having that extra layer made me feel more comfortable.
