Because these fabrics are so porous and light, they can allow a large share of UV rays through, sometimes resulting in only minimal effective protection.
In other words, even though you're "covered," most of the sun is still reaching your skin.
What Makes UPF Clothing Different
UPF clothing is tested and rated specifically for sun protection. Fabrics are woven more tightly, treated with protective finishes, or made with fibers that naturally block UV rays. The result: clothing that’s lightweight, breathable, and proven to protect your skin — even in styles that look sheer or airy.
Take the Lace Top from NINI’s Beach to Bubbles Collection. Its lace texture feels airy and romantic, but beneath that lightness is UPF 50+ protection designed to keep your skin safe from up to 98% of harmful rays.
Everyday style, hidden protection
What makes UPF clothing so versatile is that it doesn't look like "gear." You can wear it to play pickleball, on a casual stroll to the beach, or go to dinner outdoors — all while knowing your skin is shielded.
From NINI’s Court to Cocktails Collection, the Performance Joggers pair comfort with UPF 30 + functionality, perfect for long afternoons outside. Or, if you’re in the mood for resort-ready sophistication, the Maxi Lace Caftan Dress from Beach to Bubbles delivers full coverage in a couture-inspired lace design.
When you actually need it most
Here’s the surprising part: UV rays don’t just hit us on the beach. They’re everywhere — on a walk to get coffee, sitting in traffic, or even through glass. While sunscreen can help, it’s easy to miss spots or forget to reapply. That’s why UPF clothing is a no-effort layer of daily protection.
For subtle coverage in the city, the Belted Midi Shirt Dress transitions seamlessly from desk to dinner, keeping your skin protected all day. For outdoor gatherings, the Lace Midi Skirt makes sun-safe dressing feel like high fashion.
Why UPF Clothing Changes Everything
Not all clothes are created equal when it comes to sun safety. Regular fabrics may keep you covered but not necessarily protected. UPF clothing closes that gap — giving you breathable, lightweight pieces that look and feel stylish while blocking the sun’s most damaging rays.
Whether you’re dressing for a match in the Court to Cocktails Collection or for a beachside escape in Beach to Bubbles, you don’t have to choose between fashion and function. With UPF woven into every design, your skin is covered — and your style is elevated.
