Clothing to Protect You From the Sun, With Style!

Last updated 19th July 2022

There’s nothing better than a sun-filled vacation: relaxing under an umbrella, reading a book, working on a tan. Except what happens when you get out from under that umbrella and start exploring the city? Too much sun can lead to dehydration and the dreaded sunburn. Thankfully, we can now do more than just layer on gloopy sunscreen. Clothing with ultraviolet protection factor is rapidly developing into fashion-forward and travel-friendly styles.
