SPF clothing labels to help kids look cool, even when it’s hot
I try to slather my kid in the best safe sunscreen, but with the summer sun seemingly hotter each year, it makes sense to get them into SPF clothing, as well. If you thought that clothing with built in SPF was just swimsuits, you’re in for a surprise. Here are some labels that let your kids rock their sun protective clothing at the pool or at the company party and still look cool.

UV Skinz
Rompers are on-trend, but I never imagined there would be one for kids with SPF built in. Thanks to UV Skinz there is, and they not only have a wide selection selection clothes like this SPF girls’ romper, but also an awesome selection for adults. So go ahead and get something for yourself — at least you know you will not grow out of it by next summer. (On sale for $22.95 with an extra 20% off when you sign up for emails)
Livingston Kids
The only problem with this SFP 50 protective sunhat for kids is I wish I had ten of them for my little one. Is that too much to ask? This SPF 50 hat covers your kiddo’s head, ears and neck. The hats come in solid colors, the strap keeps it from falling off (or making it more difficult to pull off), and you can order from sizes 0-4T, which means the downfall is this hat is only good for toddlers. Hey, Livingston, we want more sizes please! Livingston at Amazon.com, $14.99
Solumbra by Sun Precautions
Solumbra’s outdoor clothing is serious sun protection for the entire family at 100+ SPF, which is not surprising because this company’s founder, Shaun Hughes, was inspired to create Solumbra SPF clothing after his own battle with melanoma skin cancer. Not only that but their clothing is super comfortable, and will continue to protect you after 100 washings. SunPrecautions.com, $38.95
Coolibar
Coolibar is a leader in SPF clothing and their styles are cool, like this kids’ UPF graphic tee. What is UPF? It’s a rating similar to SPF that specifically rates clothes and provides both UVB and UVA protection. Coolibar, we think it’s cool that you’re using the UPF ratings. Coolibar.com, $32 (15% off and free shipping when you signup for emails)
Sunday Afternoon Kids
We not only love Dick’s Sporting Goods for increasing their sale standards on gun purchases, but we also love them for selling things like this Sunday Afternoon Kid’s Sun Tripper hat. Sunday Afternoon at DicksSportingGoods.com, $22 (blue and pink selections)

Cabana Life
My favorite thing about the SPF clothing at Cabana Life is the selection of SPF Mommy and Me, and yes, SPF Daddy and Me, too! So you can be safe from the sun and look cute together at the same time! CabanaLife.com On Sale $43.40 (15% off when you signup for emails)
SPF Addict
Yes, of course it’s great and a no-brainer to purchase SPF clothing for your children, but omg, check out this SPF adult wrap and the other adult pieces by SPF Addict LLC. This wrap is so stylish and so versatile that truly, you can wear it anywhere. I love clothing that I can grab on my way out the door, and I love this wrap even more because it will simultaneously protect my skin. SPFAddict.com, $78 (15% off with code Kristi15 through summer 2018 with benefits going to Relay for Life)
I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
