Gun holster fashion is a required look for employees at [Scotch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scotch-sipping-jacket) and [Soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-dew-baja-blast-under-eye-patches), an Amsterdam-based brand.

This look has been popping up everywhere, including Toronto’s Weslodge restaurant. Wait staff are required to wear them as part of their uniform and use the leather studded pockets to store their note pads. They look badass doing it, which is a great way to guarantee tips!

Jewelry designers like Hoda Designs have also incorporated the look into their line, replacing the everyday purse with a more sleek and edgier alternative to storing your phone and wallet.

If you’re not packing heat then make a fashion statement, or better yet simplify your personal storage needs. You are guaranteed to look dangerously haute wearing this gun holster.
