Somehow rash guards have overcome their tragically uncool name in recent years and transitioned to equal parts fashionable and practical. Part of that credit goes to Dallas-based Cover Swimwear. Made in the U.S., this sun-conscious swimwear line elevates protection with its own opaque fabric that blocks 98 percent of UV rays. The brand also elevates its fashion, often collaborating on designs – past collabs include Texas photographer Gray Malin, Instagram artist Donald Robertson (@drawbertson) and New York men's swimwear line, Glass.
But the looks can also be seen on the likes of high-fashion runways and multiple ready-to-wear collections. As summer emerges, along with the lasting effects of the sun's rays, take a dip into the rash guard pool to find a look that's much cuter than a sunburn.
