rashguard with waves of orange, pink, fuchsia, and white (so fun!)

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

If you, like me, are part vampire in the summer and do your best to protect yourself from the sun, rashguards are a great tool — instead of lathering yourself up with sunscreen you just put on the shirt.

I never used rashguards until I had kids — it seemed like a great idea for them, but I worried they’d be hot or uncomfortable. (Especially as a former lifeguard, I know how gross and cumbersome it feels to swim in clothes — it’s part of a standard lifeguarding test.) So I got one for myself, and… they’re amazing. They’re not bulky or clingy, they don’t get air trapped beneath them, they’re not hot. Love them.

This bright, happy one from Trina Turk looks amazing — it seems so fun and joyful. (There’s another one in the classic rainbow Trina Turk print that is, sadly, nearly sold out.)

The rashguard is $128 at Nordstrom.

(Another sun protection sale worth noting: Dermstore has 20% off EltaMD today.)
