    Sorry, not a direct response to your question. As to fashion, it is so fluid these days. I don't love always wearing untucked shirts, but it is what it is. If I have to dress up, like at church, I just wear a cover garment. Not as easy to do during the summer but I am a hot weather kind of guy so it works out.
    Same here I really do not care for the untucked look either to me it just looks unkempt. There is always the option of open owb off hours carry, but then that kind of defeats the purpose of trying to blend in. Which for me is difficult enough in itself.

    Often, those that lived under communism do not find it as appealing as ******* progressives preach.
    Indeed I am sure we could generate a sizable collection to purchase one way tickets to the communist countries of their choosing. I would like to say that I can not believe the stupidity of some people thinking how cool socialism and communism are! But then I would be lying.

    When I used to CC, and when I occasionally CC, I like the Mitch Rosen holster 'The Workman'.

    It is a IWB holster, but made so that the shirt can be tucked in OVER the firearm.
    Only part exposed is the belt loop.
    They do cost a bit, and take awhile to get, because they are crafted to your order.
    On the other hand, they are great quality.
    I have The Workman and a OWB for my EDC. And OWBs for a few of my other pistols.

    My previous 2 EDCs also had Workmans made for them.

    I carry OWB all year with very few exceptions when pocket carry is required instead. During summer months, I'll go with a T-shirt tucked in under a Hawaiian shirt or similar untucked. Columbia Utilizer shirts get worn a lot in the summer. They are comfortable, conceal well and are cool in the summer heat. They look decent too.

    I've got two (2) 'Hawaiian' style shirts, but they're solid in color...a deep burgundy and a dark grey!
    They cover a lot, casually, and appear 'relaxed' for summer comfort.
    I prefer OWB, even in the summer months...

    IWB at the 3:30/4:00 position regardless of what I'm wearing. In the summer I wear Duluth Trading tank under an untucked t-shirt. In cooler weather, it is a tucked t-shirt with a sweatshirt, untucked flannel, or some other overshirt.

    On the very rare occasion I need to dress up or cannot wear an untucked shirt, I will pocket carry, sticky holster with nothing else in the pocket.

    Agreed I maintain the same sidearm regardless. But my wife complains about my lack of fashion sense. I try to explain look you can’t have everything…And I do not have fashion sense and I am ok with that. Who knows maybe I can find a nice button down?
    Was not really referring changing carry ie holster, or particular edc, but rather looking for some suggestions with regards to fashion.
    Try looking for 'Cuban' or 'Guayabera'. You said "the South", so I am going with warm and humid summers. These are light weight shirts, with straight bottoms not meant to be tucked. The Guayabera usually has 4 pockets, two at the bottom and two where pockets normally go. The Cubans usually have one or two. Much more muted than the Hawaiian style shirt. I have more than one in quiet colors, grey and blue.

    Just some random photos from the web.....
