10 Stylish Rash Guards to Wear This Summer

Somehow rash guards have overcome their tragically uncool name in recent years and transitioned to equal parts fashionable and practical. Part of that credit goes to Dallas-based Cover Swimwear. Made in the U.S., this sun-conscious swimwear line elevates protection with its own opaque fabric that blocks 98 percent of UV rays. The brand also elevates its fashion, often collaborating on designs – past collabs include Texas photographer Gray Malin, Instagram artist Donald Robertson (@drawbertson) and New York men’s swimwear line, Glass.
