How It Feels

Like your favorite cotton shirt. Soft on the skin, structured enough to feel refined, and light enough for the sunniest days. One of a kind premium fabric, you've never experienced in a UPF shirt. You’ll forget you’re wearing sun protection.

Made For

Daily wear, travel, sightseeing, work, grabbing coffee or brunch, an activewear cover up.  It looks great tucked in or over athleisure.

Which size is right for me?

This shirt is a classic fit which means not oversized and not slim-- it's a magical in-between. A stiffer collar and cuff provides structure and elevates any look. 

  • We recommend sizing up, unless you are petite. 
  • If you're petite, take your normal size.
  • If you are taller than 5'10" we recommend sizing up x2, as it will be more comfortable through the arms.
  • Model is 6' size 2-4, wearing a size L.

Our Philosophy

Simplicity is the new luxury. Thoughtfully designed to make sun protection second nature—without changing your style. Best yet, it's anti-wrinkle so you can toss it into your travel bag without worry. It elevates every look, and no one can tell it's UPF.

How we're different

We are quality snobs at Some Sun UPF, and believe the quality of materials determines how a style will look and feel. Quality is the difference between you reaching for a UPF shirt or not. Our mission is to make sun protection simple, and we do that by creating UPF  styles you will actually look and feel great in and want to reach for.

How do I make my UPF shirt last?

We'll send you a Some Sun Care Guide with your shirt to ensure your garment lasts as long as possible. Since we use premium fabrics and construction, The Carolyn should outlast every shirt in your closet.

Care guide

How to Care for UPF Clothing

At Some Sun® we're all about keeping clothing for as long as possible, which is why we're always looking at care labels and making sure our garments are cleaned in the way that helps them to last.

How should I launder my Some Sun® sun protection?

Always review the Care Label on the inside of your garment for specific directions. Generally, we recommend using a gentle cycle with cold water. Cold water minimizes fiber stretching and helps preserve the fabric’s UPF properties. Please note UPF properties diminish over time and with use, but caring for your garment helps to maintain it.

  • Detergent Choice: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners as they can weaken fibers and decrease UPF effectiveness.
  • Drying Techniques: Air drying is best, as it maintains fabric strength and sun protection longer. Alternately, use low-heat gentle tumble drying.
  • Ironing or Steaming: Most UPF fabrics are wrinkle-resistant, but if ironing is needed, set the iron to a low temperature. Excessive heat can break down the fibers used in UPF garments. 

How long does sun protection clothing last? 

Generally speaking, it is a good idea to replace UPF attire every year if worn frequently, or if the garment fabric is thinning or piling. Our attire can be worn for non-UPF uses, which means it can last and be used longer than most UPF clothing. 

In summary, it's a good habit to replace sun protective clothing every year to ensure that normal wear and tear has not diminished the sun protection properties of the clothing.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions.
