One pieces, monokinis, bandeau bikinis and halternecks have always been some of the go-tos for beach wear and showing off all those hours that you put in at the gym.
Lately, we’ve noticed a trend among celebs that surprised us, as it’s rarely a trend in Hollywood to actually cover up. Rash shirts or rash vests as they are also commonly known, have been coming back into style with celebrities wearing them at the beach to cover up and protect themselves from the sun.
The damage that the sun can do to your skin is immense, with the risk of skin cancer much higher and the signs of ageing to be increased. You have to pay a lot of money to stop yourself from ageing in tinseltown, but for those savvy and smart enough, a rash shirt is great way to protect yourself in the sun, not to mention keeping your girls in check while surfing up a storm.
Gigi Hadid, Eva Longoria, Jessica Biel and Miranda Kerr are just a few celebrities who are hitting the beach in stylish sun protection.
Whether it’s a cropped rashie, mesh panelled or a cheeky cut out style, there is something for everyone. Luckily, Australia is the home of fabulous swimwear brands, so there is ample choice when it comes to choosing the rash shirt for you.
