Protect your child against UV rays with girls’ rash guard apparel. Rash guards provide UPF 50 protection for covered areas—although sunscreen is still a must. These tops can be worn over a girls’ swimsuit for extra coverage in and out of the water.
Girls’ rash guard tops come in multiple styles, colors, and prints. They’re made from soft, lightweight polyester with spandex for stretch, which means they dry quickly and offer freedom of movement. Kids can wear one of these tops for swimming, lounging on the beach, or playing water sports.
When it comes to rash guard top styles, one option is the short-sleeve crewneck. This swim shirt style goes with any type of bottoms, whether your child is wearing swim shorts or everyday shorts, such as denim or khakis. Kids can also wear swim leggings with this tee for plenty of coverage. The rash guard crewneck comes in a variety of colors and motifs that you can mix and match with your child’s other swim separates, and it’s machine-washable like all rash guard clothing. Plus, it has a front lining for modesty.
There are also long-sleeve rash guard tops for girls. They’re made from the same blend of polyester and spandex, so they offer the same benefits with added coverage. You’ll also find mock neck rash guard tops and hooded styles. They’re great for wearing with any bottoms, such as the aforementioned girls’ swim shorts and swim leggings.
Perhaps the easiest way to create a coordinated swim outfit for your child is with a girls’ rash guard set. These sets come with a bikini top, bikini bottom, and a rash guard shirt. Styles range from tropical floral motifs to colorful tie-dye, to name just two.
The bikini separates in these rash guard sets can be mixed and matched to create many looks. There are also tankinis for girls, which offer the same fashion versatility with more coverage. Bikinis and tankinis are made from polyester or nylon with spandex for lasting quality and comfort. There are chlorine-resistant tankinis, bikinis, and one-piece swimsuits for girls, which are made with Lycra® Xtra Life™ for 10 times the durability of regular spandex.
You may want to have several rash guards in your child’s wardrobe, such as a long-sleeve girls’ rash guard and one with short sleeves for super-hot days. There are so many styles and colors available that you’re likely to find a rash guard top to match every swimsuit your child has. Rash guards also come in sizes for boys, men, and women—so the whole family can stay comfortable and protected against UV rays.
