SunSmart rashies for the whole family

I've got to stop wearing my husband's rashie. It's not a cute look. And there's no excuse for us all not to have our own rashies (aka lycra swim shirts) with these Australian brands designing great options for Mums, Dads and kids:

Brisbane-based Mini Sandcrabs have a range of cute, bright UV sunsuits, rashies and swim shorts for kids. So preppy cute! You can find Mini Sandcrabs in the online store.

Summer and Salt is a Sunshine Coast swimwear label that caught my eye at Peregian Beach with a range of stylish swimwear tops for the whole family. You can find Summer and Salt in the online store and at the Peregian Beach boutique.

Babes In The Shade is based in Brisbane and designs a range of rash vests, all-in-one UV suits, matching one-piece bathers and hats. I love the spotty, ruffled numbers. The boys rugby-style shirts are also fantastic (and on sale too). Lots of great options for Mums and kids. You can find Babes In The Shade in the online store.

Brisbane-based Salt Sea Tees feature cute designs on great-quality fabric, made in Australia. We have the sweet matryoshka doll design and it has lasted for years. Find Salt Sea Teas in the online store. They are clearing all stock, so grab yourself a bargain.

These gorgeous lolly-coloured rashies and bathers for kids by Melbourne-based White Soda are super-fashionable. You can find White Soda in the online shop and at stockists around Australia, NZ and online.

There are few sun-smart swimmers sweeter than Bondi-based and Bali-made Bobbi Sunshine for girls. You can find Bobbi Sunshine in the online store. 

So there you go friends, some great brands giving us even greater reasons to cover up and look cute in the sun, not just in summer, but all year around. For more information on being safe in the sun, head over to the SunSmart Victoria website which has wealth of information that we all need to brush up on.
