If you spend time at the beach, on the water, or under the Florida sun, sun-protective clothing is no longer just for surfers or athletes. Today’s sun shirts, rashguards, and lightweight cover-ups are stylish, breathable, and designed for real beach life.
At Sun Drunk, we believe in enjoying the sunshine — smartly. That’s why sun-protective apparel has become a staple in our coastal wardrobe.
What Are Sun Shirts & Rashguards?
Sun shirts and rashguards are lightweight tops made from sun-protective fabrics designed to block harmful UV rays. Many are rated UPF 30 or UPF 50+, meaning they provide built-in sun protection without the need to constantly reapply sunscreen.
You’ll see them called:
-
Sun shirts
-
Rashguards
-
Sun protection shirts
-
SPF shirts
-
UV protection clothing
-
Lightweight beach layers
Different names — same goal: protecting your skin while staying comfortable outdoors.
Why Sun Shirts Are Better Than Just Sunscreen
Sunscreen is important, but anyone who spends long days outside knows it’s not enough on its own.
Sun-protective shirts:
-
Don’t wash or sweat off
-
Protect shoulders, chest, back, and arms (the first places to burn)
-
Are perfect for boating, paddleboarding, beach walks, and pool days
-
Reduce how much sunscreen you need
-
Are ideal for sensitive skin
Think of sun shirts as effortless, all-day sun coverage.
Rashguards Aren’t Just for Surfing Anymore
Modern rashguards are:
-
Soft and breathable
-
Quick-drying
-
Easy to layer over swimwear
-
Stylish enough to wear to lunch or a beach walk
They’re especially popular for:
-
Long beach days
-
Boat days
-
Snorkeling or paddleboarding
- Golf days
-
Travel to sunny destinations
At Sun Drunk, we curate rashguards that feel relaxed and coastal — not athletic or restrictive.
Why Regular T-Shirts Don’t Protect You
Not all clothing blocks the sun.
-
A regular cotton tee offers very little UV protection
-
Light or white fabrics let UV rays through
-
Wet shirts protect even less
Sun-protective clothing is tested and designed to block UV rays — no guessing required.
Sun Shirts for Travel, Florida Living & Everyday Beach Life
Sun shirts and SPF tops are one of the smartest things to pack for a beach vacation.
Why travelers love them:
-
Lightweight and packable
-
Easy to throw on over a swimsuit
-
Perfect for sightseeing, beach walks, and pool days
-
Less worry about sunburn ruining your trip
If you live in Florida, sun-protective clothing simply makes sense year-round.
Stylish Sun Protection (Yes, It Exists)
Sun-protective clothing doesn’t have to look sporty or technical.
At Sun Drunk, we focus on:
-
Relaxed silhouettes
-
Soft, breathable fabrics
-
Coastal colors and neutrals
-
Pieces that feel good from beach → brunch → sunset
- Strongest protection: UPF 50!!
Sun protection should fit your lifestyle — not limit it.
