Women and SHTF: Dressing Code and Defense

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
As a woman who likes to look
cute, I am curious about how your wife changed her dressed after SHTF. Yourbook talks about your dress code of jeans & tee, but did your wife change
her manner of dress as well? What was her “uniform,” if so? (Besides
the obvious pants instead of a skirt, such as, did she still wear a skirt if it
was cool enough for leggings underneath?) Thanks

Hello R,
My wife used to joke, saying
that if it wasn’t for her I’d live in a dark and damp cave full of skulls,
bones and weapons littered all over the place, maybe lit by a couple burning
torches. While I don’t think I’m that much of a weirdo my wife does have a point.
She does balance me making me more “normal”, which is something I appreciate.

Her dressing code is pretty
normal too. She likes dressing nice and that never changed even when things got
tough. She used to work in one of the most dangerous parts of the Buenos Aires,
an industrial district close to the docks. You have all sorts of factories and
shops, among and all around them its mostly poor, very low income houses and
shanty towns, and crime is rampant in this area. I’m talking about criminals
walking around on broad daylight with their guns openly carried Mexican style
(in spite of it being illegal), the kind of place were police officers move
around in their patrol vehicles with caution, them not being the ones that are
at the top of the food chain in the location. Any drug raid or crack down of
known safe houses, would usually involve over a hundred police officers from
different departments. My wife was at
work when criminals broke in during a robbery, again, on broad daylight.

In spite of all this my wife
never dressed down and always looked nice.
For her it was mostly jeans with some shirt or top, blouse and jacket or
coat. Skirts she didn’t like so much. Besides
its not a good idea to sit on a dirty bus seat wearing a skirt. Sometimes she
would wear sandals or some other kind of open shoe, but in winter and
especially when going to work she would use ankle or mid women’s boots. She would walk around a lot running errands
and taking the bus, and the sidewalks are mostly in terrible condition. If you
add to that that broken glass and all kind of junk that is littered all over
the streets it makes sense to have something that covers your feet better.

While dressing very
revealing sure is a bad idea, I would say that rather than dressing a specific
way its more about being careful and aware of your surroundings. You don’t have
to dress with a dirty blue overall looking as if you just crawled from under a truck
to avoid getting targeted by criminals. Sometimes its more about walking with
confidence and noticing the people around you. If something looks out of place
or a suspicious person is moving towards you, then hurrying away, or even run
in the other direction. My wife did avoid wearing any fancy jewelry, especially
highly prized gold which criminals are drawn towards like flies to honey. Instead
she would wear some cheap yet tasteful jewelry and accessories that you could tell
weren’t expensive.

Regarding weapons and such,
my wife never carried a firearm. She did have a purple Spyderco Delica with her
at all times and carried a can of OC Spray. This she kept not only at hand, but
in her hand when walking from the bus stop to her workplace. If you can carry a
gun, by all means do it and get used to doing so safely and practice drawing
and shooting from your normal carry layout.

So, in a nutshell: Nice hair,
make up, dressing nice and feminine doesn’t go away when SHTF. Of course a more
informal outfit like jeans allows you more freedom of movement if you can get away
with it and don’t need to stick to a more uptight office dressing etiquette.
For footwear, getting shoes that you can actually walk with is common sense,
but if its comfortable women shoes or boots that you go for as long as you can
walk comfortably on them that’s fine. As long as the clothing you go for isn’t unusually
revealing, its more about self-confidence, body language, keeping an eye on whats
happening around you and a firm grip on your purse.
