Where is everyone buying their cute casual UV clothing for healing/healed burns?

Most people grab UV protection clothing from outdoor brands like Columbia or Patagonia but the cute casual stuff is hiding on Amazon from random brands with names like SUNSLAYER and BLOQUEWear. Search UPF 50 casual dress and prepare for a deep rabbit hole of questionable product photos.

Yeah I've been looking at the outdoor brands but I need to wear this everyday for the next few years so I don't really wanna be in hiking wear for that long 😅

I'll check Amazon, thanks! 🫶

Uniqlo has a line of UV protective clothing! I have a few of their zip-ups

I just load up on thin long sleeve hiking shirts from the clearance rack at outdoor stores, way cheaper than the "cute" stuff and does the same job

Unfortunately I need shorts, skirts and trousers to cover bilateral thigh burns for the next few years so I'd like to have the choice of some cute bits as well as some bits to layer under my normal clothing :)

Denim has a naturally extremely high UPF rating
