Scary Mommy’s readers have spoken! Congratulations to our top Sun-Safe Streetwear Brands:
1. UV Skinz
What Scary Mommy readers love about UV Skinz:
- They do everyday UPF 50+ streetwear just as well as swimwear, making it so easy to keep the whole family sun-safe year-round.
- The fabric is ridiculously soft and comfortable, featuring cute, size-inclusive styles that my kids actually enjoy wearing without complaining.
- Top-notch quality at 💲 that won't break the bank—you can tell sun protection is their main focus, not just an afterthought.
2. Uniqlo
What Scary Mommy readers love about Uniqlo:
- A mom friend recommended their UV protection line, and I’m hooked—the ice-cool AIRism mesh fabric instantly chills my overheated skin on scorching days.
- THE ultimate affordable streetwear. Lightweight, sun-safe layers that keep us cool without feeling stuffy or sweaty.
3. CALIA
What Scary Mommy readers love about CALIA:
- Love the designs. Modern, versatile athleisure that easily handles full-on playground gymnastics with the kids without looking like you're wearing gym gear.
- The best things about CALIA: you don’t have to be a supermodel to look great in their clothes, PLUS they’re cost-effective pickups at Dick’s.
