As women, carrying concealed presents challenges that our male counterparts don’t have to deal with. Besides the obvious fact that our body shapes are different, our clothing options and choices differ vastly. Being a woman is one of our greatest assets—we have so many clothing choices to suit our look or mood for the day.

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. I am a die hard t-shirt and jeans kind of girl but have come to realize that expanding my shirt game outside of a plain black tee has made concealed carry that much easier. As women, we don’t have to completely change our wardrobe to fit this lifestyle.

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. This is also the time of year that as concealed carriers our lives get a little easier because we can just throw on a sweatshirt and the issue of printing is basically non-existent.

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.

When I first got my Heckler & Koch VP9SK I was so excited because it meant that I would be able to start carrying a sub-compact version of my favorite handgun, the HK VP9. I was curious to see how well the VP9SK would fit with my wardrobe compared to my Glock 43 especially going into the summer months when fabrics are lighter and layers are minimal.

I'm often asked about why I carry a full-size gun versus a sub-compact. When I first started carrying, the only gun I owned was my HKVP9. Then I got my Glock 43, which is a great option for carrying concealed. However, I preferred for so long to carry my HKVP9 because it's the gun that fit in my hand the best, the one that I preferred to shoot, and at the time, the one I trained with the most.
