Do I LOOK like I know what I'm doing?

Since COVID, my lifestyle has changed to where I’m able to wear athletic shorts pretty much every day. Back when I was in the office, carry wasn’t really a problem since I always wore a belt, and in the winter, it wasn’t out of place to wear a cover garment.
These days, it’s pretty much belly band or bust for me, but even then, there are days I don’t have a loose enough shirt to put on the band or the heat/humidity are uncomfortable to wear it (I understand…cue CC’s “comforting, not comfortable” mantra). I’ve heard some are able to pocket carry in athletic shorts, but I can’t get it to work without shanking myself.
My smallest carry is a P230, but thinking of getting something Hellcat/P365 sized at some point. Wouldn’t be opposed to a smaller .380 either. I’m about 5’7”, 180 lbs.
So the options I see from here:
1) different wardrobe
2) different holster option
3) different (hopefully smaller and lighter) gun
4) suck it up, Buttercup - go with what you got
I’m currently exploring option 2 because it seems simplest, but for those who have made similar transitions or are thinking of it, how did you do it / how would you do it?
