Walking on Sunshine

If you think being covered isn’t sexy, then please take a look at this suit and think again. It’s full Bond girl, if the Bond girl were wise to the evils of sun exposure. The fabric is the equivalent of SPF 50. Dive in!

These rectangular frames have flattering curved edges and broad arms for full wrap-around protection. The non-reflective lenses filter out UV light and the glare of the paparazzi.

Make like Brigitte Bardot and slip on these egg shaped, egg colored sunglasses. Unlike Bardot’s, these have lenses that shield against UV light. Also unlike Bardot, you’re wearing sunscreen.

Pop this over a bikini or maillot for full sun protection and total style. The jersey fabric withstands countless washes without losing its power to block over 98 percent of UV rays.

What would Morticia Addams wear paddleboarding? Exactly. These look completely bonkers unless you treat them like opera gloves for the beach. And even that’s a little nutty. They also come in short, fingerless styles in a variety of colors.

A hat that looks like it belongs in the outback, if only because it was created by two Aussies. The woven raffia has a creased and dented crown, and the brim curves down for extra protection. The cotton rope cinches to keep the hat from flying off.

Stir a few drops in your body or face lotion for an easy, subtle fake tan. They’re perfect for travel and last several summers.

This stylish striped palm tote is big enough to hold a towel, sunscreen, and a paddle ball set. Its handles are long enough to slip over your shoulder and the knot closure keeps everything from tumbling out.

Made of neoprene and nylon, this SPF 50 wetsuit has an easy back zip and a clever little pocket to stash your lip balm or coins–not that you need coins, unless you’re scratching off a lotto ticket.
