I don't really know what your style is, but nice, light spring type over shirts with patterns are the best.

Some really like your Hawaiian patterns (not crazy about them myself) but they do conceal wonderfully and they are comfortable.

I, even though I'm a girl, carry a little of short sleeved white shirts with light flowery patterns and a small white tank underneath. It keeps me cool, feminine and still conceals nicely.

Patterned shirts are great because they break up the lines of your gun should you print.

Even a larger, comfortable T-shirt will usually conceal a decent gun in a good holster.

I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

Standard FL "uniform of the day".....

.......IWB with shorts and an untucked t-shirt 95% of the time. Dress it up a little with a golf shirt or a light sport shirt. Again, generally untucked.

I'll tuck IWB if I really have to, but if I have to tuck, it's usually because we're going someplace that's nice and pretty low threat. Then I'll usually go with the Seecamp in a back pocket holster and leave the edc 9mm behind.

Here in 115 degree Phoenix, I'm waiting for the new model Smartcarry that fits under my Speedos for the pool.

T shirt and shorts. I found a longer t shirt with the front only tucked in works well for me to conceal my SA Champ. well IWB.

Is that a Glock in your speedo, or are you just glad to see me?
