Why Other Brands Don’t Make Stylish Sun Protection Clothing (in our humble opinion) —and Why We Do

Many sun protection brands cut corners to keep costs low, often at the expense of quality and style. Here's how we’re different:

1. Higher Quality Fabrics

To reduce production costs, some brands use cheaper fabrics that lack durability and comfort. We invest in high-quality materials that feel great against your skin and provide high UV protection. Our fabrics are specifically engineered to offer a soft, breathable feel while blocking harmful UV rays, so you get both style and substance.

2. Thoughtful Design and Details

Cost-cutting often leads to simplified designs with minimal detailing. Mass-produced, boxy fits are cheaper to manufacture but don’t cater to modern style needs. At Some Sun, we invest in developing well-crafted, flattering designs with thoughtful details, like pockets, adjustable features, and tailored cuts. This ensures you have pieces that feel stylish and unique, without sacrificing functionality.

3. Avoiding Low-Quality Materials

Many brands use cheap fabrics to keep development costs low, that look and feel cheap. We use high-performance fabrics that are designed to last, and feel amazing against your skin-- meaning your investment in sun protection is a lasting one. Our pieces maintain their integrity and comfort, season after season.

4. Style Meets Substance

Most sun protection brands design with utility as their primary focus. We believe sun-safe clothing can be sophisticated and chic. We invest in the sampling, fitting and re-designing required of elevated designs that match your lifestyle and stay on trend, so you’ll feel just as good about wearing them as you do about protecting your skin.

At Some Sun, we prioritize quality over shortcuts, designing pieces that offer premium sun protection while complementing your style. We believe that true sun protection clothing should blend seamlessly into your everyday life, with no compromises on look, feel, or function.
