UPF Clothing for Moms

Between the battle that is corralling kids to re-apply sunscreen and the impossible feat of keeping a toddler's hat on, we know how easy it is to forget about protecting your own skin from the sun. That's why we love UPF clothing.

Similar to SPF (Sun Protection Factor), Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) gauges a fabric's effectiveness to block harmful ultraviolet light. We rounded up our favorite smart-yet-cute UPF-rated sun protection clothing picks so you can stock your summer wardrobe accordingly.
