For IWB, it depends on the holster. My Crossbreed holds my pistol nice and tight to my body. On the other hand, my Milt Sparks tends to stick out more. With the Crossbreed I can conceal it under a white t-shirt but I need something more with the MS.
For OWB, I would generally agree with Piney. Find a pattern that's not a solid. Also consider at least a medium weight fabric. A longer shirt tail would be helpful too.
i normally wear solid colors and conceal pretty well in an owb holster but i would think plaid would be the best. besides.. a plaid shirt screams axe instead of gun
For me, dark colors (black, navy blue, etc.) work the best. Some type of pattern is helpful, but I found that the pattern doesn't have to be obvious. I've got several polos that have a more visible knit than others. The knit pattern is enough to make concealment noticeably better. It's subtle, but it works.
As Bubblehead said, go with longer shirttails for an OWB carry.
Loose fitting, dark color, heavier weight fabric are more important. Stripes generally don't work all that well. A dark, short sleeved, shirt worn open over a tee shirt works wonders:
