Top 7 Stylish Travel UPF Clothing Picks for Women
Traveling to new places or countries grants you the opportunity to explore new beaches, try new activities, and get immersed in new cultures. However, during trips, your skin is often exposed to harmful sun rays - especially if you travel somewhere near the equator as the sun is stronger there!
One way to protect yourself from the sun's rays is by applying sunscreen, but for longer periods, using UPF swimwear/clothing is best. Learn how to stay stylish and protected from the sun in our guide on the top 7 stylish travel UPF clothing picks for women.
Why Do You Need UPF Clothing?
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) clothing is clothing that blocks the sun’s rays, keeping you safe from the risk of cancer, sunburns, or sunspots.
Technically speaking, UPF is the measurement that indicates the level of protection a specific item of clothing offers from sun rays. While this measurement can vary based on the thickness of the material, and its ability to absorb the sun’s harmful rays. When it comes to effective UV protection a UPF factor of around 50 is effective for even the sunniest weather.
That said, for exposed parts of the skin it’s strongly recommended you use sunscreen with the strength of at least SPF to keep you protected throughout the day.
