Gift Guide 2024
🎁 10 fashionable sun protective clothing options for women to give and get this season
Hello, friends, and welcome to our inaugural Cute Sun Protection Gift Guide — just in time for your holiday shopping.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve surveyed the current offerings of 50 brands of UPF clothing with the goal of finding and sharing some of the cutest sun protective clothing options available this season. We’re calling it a gift guide but you might find yourself adding some of these options to your own wish list or shopping cart. :)
If you’re planning a beachy vacation over the holidays, this curated collection includes swimwear, coverup and a sun shawl for sensitive skin. It also includes athletic and more fashion forward options — even a little black dress. Plus accessories like hats and a scarf, too.
We’ve arranged this guide alphabetically by brand and limited it to ten (well, okay, actually eleven because we couldn’t decide on which hat to cut) so it’s not overwhelming.
Finally, a quick note about links: none of the links in this issue are affiliate links so you can rest assured these picks were selected on their merits and no brands had any influence in these selections. Consider us your personal shopper this season.
First up is this breezy matching set from Daise, which would be perfect for lounging.
