Concealed Carry
If you live in a dangerous area, getting a concealed carry license might be something you’re interested in doing. While most popular ways of carrying a concealed weapon involve bulky outer layers, there are concealed carry accessories that you can purchase to make for a more streamlined look. They allow you to carry your weapon under the arm, in the back of your pants, leggings, or other bottoms, or alongside the thigh if you’re wearing a dress or skirt.
UV Protection
A very different but equally important form of safety is UV protection. During hot summer months in areas of the world where UV rays are particularly strong, it’s possible to get a burn or develop a skin condition just walking from your office building to the car every day. Thankfully, there is now a variety of stylish and low-profile UV protectant clothing. While wearing long sleeves and a floppy hat might feel a little extreme, this type of clothing allows for breathability while keeping your skin safe.
Reflective Clothes & Safety Colors
If you tend to walk a lot in your area, but there’s a lot of traffic around you, you might be concerned about visibility. Wearing a bright orange safety vest or reflective gear doesn’t exactly scream “fashion,” but there are ways of incorporating these elements into your current wardrobe. A pop of color isn’t just a fun way to spice up an outfit — it could be what makes a distracted driver spot you on the crosswalk.
