Protection from the sun is important to me. Thanks to my Mom I’ve learned about sun protective garments~most of which can err on the dorky side. With very fair skin which burns and does not tan I was eager to find some attractive options for my beach vacation.
Italia Hats from Solumbra
I’m not going to miss out on all that water and sun time just because of a small thing like sun damage.
A few years ago I only found a few decent tops at Solumbra and none to buy from Coolibar. But now it seems that Coolibar Sp 50+ has trumped Solumbra’s Sp of 30. While in Turks and Caicos I worn my ruched swim shirt and pin tuck blouse almost every day and hand washed them easily out at night. Most people didn’t know I was wearing sun protective clothing and were happy to learn about it since they were having bad reactions to the sun. Here’s what I found which was stylish and great protection.
Some items are on sale and selling out fast so don’t wait!

I would love to see a plain front side zip pant made by either company. I also would love to see Solumbra step it up another notch in terms of more stylish colors and styles. I am eager to consult with you!
