Girls' Rash Guards

Kids need extra sun protection, whether playing in the pool, splashing on the beach, or romping around camp. That's why it's a good idea to buy a girls’ rash guard for your child to wear in the summer when rays are at their strongest.

The best part? Finding a rash guard kids love is easier than ever. Macy's sells solo rash guards for layering and girls’ rash guard sets that come pre-matched, plus everything else kids need for fun in the sun. (Sandals? Check! Sunglasses and hats? Got 'em!)

Here's a little more info about girls' rash guards to consider before you start shopping.

The Basics
So, what is a rash guard, exactly? It's a type of swim top, often with long sleeves, that can be worn in addition to swimsuits or instead of traditional swim tops. They provide an added layer of physical sun protection and may help prevent overexposure to UV rays.  

Some rash guards are pull-on, while others have zipper closures. A full-zip rash guard can double as a cover-up. But technically, rash guards are meant to be worn in and around the water, just like a swimsuit.

Further Info
A rash guard swimsuit isn't the only thing you'll want to have in your summer sun safety toolkit.  

Your child needs sunscreen applied regularly, whether she wears a short sleeve rash guard or a long sleeve rash guard. Bring along a hat, too. They're crucial for infants and toddlers. You'll want to protect her eyes with girls' sunglasses as well. Macy's carries versions in fun colors and adorable shapes that you'll both love.
