Protect Yourself from the Sun this Summer

July 07, 2023

We all know that protecting yourself from harmful UV rays is an absolute necessity during the hot summer months. Whether it’s to avoid the ouch of sunburn or avoid the risk of long-term skin cancer, protecting you and your family from the sun is often at the front of everyone’s mind.

All of us at FatFace love enjoying the summer days and hot weather - but we also want to do it safely. So, whether you’re off to the beach for a BBQ, taking a long walk, or simply hanging out in your garden, we’re here to help you protect yourself from the sun’s rays.

High-Class Hats

Ideal for ensuring your scalp won’t burn and keeping you cool, hats are perfect for protecting your head and face while also adding that extra touch of style to your summer outfit.

The right hat can really pull an outfit together, and we have a great range of styles and colors for the summer. If you want a classic cap, we have you covered with timeless plain ballcaps for men.

Why not try an on-trend men’s bucket hat, ideal for keeping it casual at the beach? Want something even cooler? Take a look at our women’s woven and straw hats, which will add some vintage charm to your style while also allowing for air flow to stop you from overheating.

Stylish Swimwear

Even if you’re super careful and slather yourself in sunscreen, more precautions can always be taken, so consider a swimsuit with a bit of extra coverage. Dive into summer days with women’s swimsuits that will protect you in style!

This is especially important for kids, who are likely to spend much of the day running around the sand and diving into the water. We have a great selection of fun and colorful swimming costumes; including a long sleeved girls’ swimsuit, and kids’ rash vests which can be worn both in and out of the water to help protect against the sun.

Beautiful Beachwear

Of course, if you can’t be persuaded to part with your bikini or trunks, you can still consider some other cover-ups! Not only will they help protect against the sun, but they’re perfect for the journey to and from the seafront while also adding a touch of warmth on a super breezy beach. Whether you choose a kimono that you can throw on with ease or a floaty maxi-dress for ultimate elegance, we have a huge selection in cool materials and lovely patterns.

For men, we have a selection of shirts that are perfect for casual days but also smarter evenings, while our collection of T-shirts can easily be thrown on when you feel yourself starting to burn at the beach.

Make sure your kids dry off after getting out the water while also protecting their skin with our fun poncho towels.
