I wear long loose T-shirts or Polos... Duluth Polos in size Large, though I'm medium. I like loose and untucked for easy draw from IWB using a good holster and gun belt.
I only worry about some of my lighter and thinner T-shirts or Polos being a little too sheer.
As for others, I don't try to "notice" other people carrying, though some make it pretty easy with too-short shirts and on-belt carry. It's hard not to "notice" the holster or even the gun barrel sticking below shirts that are too short at some point.
I check my self for top shelf reaching and general visibility before okaying a shirt for CCW.
I do try to make sure my shirt is in place... micro-adjustments when getting out of the car. I've found the shirt rides up on top of the pistol sometimes, getting out of the car.
I've come close to losing my pistol and actually had it fall on the floor at self-checkout in Walmart... my P380 AND the holster. The pistol stayed in the holster. There was a nice woman in front of me picking up her bags to leave and she turned and saw the pistol on the floor. I kind of shrugged and smiled, then picked it up. She kind of smiled and left... no problem with her... stuff happens. I say nice lady, because she seemed "middle-class" and a Lady... not the "run of the mill Walmarters"
That was using a plastic clip-on IWB soft holster in drawstring shorts on a quick trip for a few groceries.
I wear that around the house, but it's not good for outings... in and out of the car or walking around much.
Just watch yourself in the mirror... raise your arms and get an idea what to expect when you're out and about, especially shopping off higher shelves.
