Stylish Active Rashguards for Water Sports

Why We Love This Look

Finding swimwear that transitions seamlessly from water sports to beachside lounging can feel impossible. You want sun protection and mobility for surfing or paddleboarding, but you also crave style that doesn't scream 'athletic gear' when you grab lunch afterward. That's where our collection of stylish active rashguards and versatile cover-ups comes in—designed for water sports enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on fashion.

As someone who's spent countless hours testing swimwear in both choppy waves and poolside settings, I can tell you the key lies in fabric technology and smart design. Modern rashguards aren't just about UV protection (though UPF 50+ is non-negotiable); they're about breathable materials that dry quickly and move with your body. Our selection features pieces with strategic ventilation, flatlock seams to prevent chafing, and prints that hide water spots—because nothing ruins a vibe faster than a soggy, unflattering silhouette.

This collection solves the 'what to wear' dilemma for active beach days. Whether you're searching for women's long sleeve swim shirts for surfing that offer full coverage without overheating, or a stylish rashguard for paddleboarding with fashion-forward prints, we've curated options that perform. The included maxi dresses and cardigans aren't afterthoughts—they're engineered cover-ups with moisture-wicking fabrics and sun-protective elements, perfect for throwing over your swimsuit when you're done in the water. Think of them as your beach to brunch outfits for active women: lightweight, packable, and designed to complement your active lifestyle.

From the boho-green paisley rashguard that channels tropical vibes to the leopard-print dresses that add edge to your post-surf look, each piece is selected for its dual-purpose functionality. These aren't just clothes; they're tools for a day well-spent. Dive into our guide below to discover how to build a capsule wardrobe that keeps you protected, comfortable, and stylish—no matter where the water takes you.

How to Style Your Active Rashguards & Cover-Ups

Start with a base layer like our Sky Blue Palm Leaves rashguard or Boho Green Paisley swimsuit for sun protection. Layer the Shawl Long Sleeve Lace Cardigan over any swimsuit for elegant coverage—its lace detailing adds texture without bulk. For a complete beach-to-town look, pair a solid rashguard with the Leopard Dot Sling Dress; the animal print elevates simple activewear instantly. Accessorize with waterproof sandals, a wide-brimmed hat, and a crossbody bag to keep hands free. Color-coordinate by matching prints to solids—try the leopard print dresses with neutral rashguards, or mix the striped dress with the green paisley for a bold, cohesive ensemble. Finish with UV-protective sunglasses and minimal jewelry that won't tangle during water activities.

Perfect Occasions for Active Rashguards & Cover-Ups

These pieces are ideal for surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, or snorkeling—any water sport where sun protection and mobility are key. The rashguards shine during beach volleyball or coastal hikes, while the maxi dresses and cardigans transition perfectly to beachside cafes, resort dinners, or sunset walks. They're versatile for tropical vacations, pool parties, or boat days, offering coverage without sacrificing style. The lightweight fabrics make them suitable for warm weather and humid climates, with the cardigan providing a breezy layer for cooler evenings. From a morning surf session to an afternoon exploring seaside towns, this collection supports an active, sun-safe lifestyle with effortless day-to-night versatility.

Fit, Fabric & Care Guide

Our rashguards and swimwear feature quick-dry, breathable fabrics with UPF 50+ sun protection—essential for prolonged water exposure. The materials are stretchy for full range of motion, with flatlock seams to prevent irritation. The maxi dresses and cardigans use lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics ideal for layering. For fit, rashguards should feel snug but not restrictive; if between sizes, size up for comfort. The dresses offer relaxed fits with elastic waists for adjustability. Care instructions: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, avoid bleach, and lay flat to dry to preserve elasticity and prints. Do not iron directly on prints or lace details to maintain their quality and sun-protective properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these rashguards provide enough sun protection for all-day water activities? +

Yes, all our rashguards and swimwear are designed with UPF 50+ fabric, blocking over 98% of UV rays. They're perfect for extended time in the sun during surfing, paddleboarding, or beach days.

How should I choose the right size for a rashguard? +

Rashguards should fit snugly to stay in place during activity but not feel tight. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear it over a swimsuit. Check our size chart for specific measurements.

Can I wear the maxi dresses and cardigans directly into the water? +

The maxi dresses and cardigans are designed as cover-ups, not swimwear. They're made from quick-dry, lightweight fabrics perfect for post-water wear, but for swimming, stick to the rashguards and swimsuits in this collection.

Are these items suitable for sensitive skin? +

Yes, we use fabrics with flatlock seams to minimize chafing and irritation. However, if you have specific sensitivities, we recommend checking the material details and washing before first use.

How do I care for the prints and lace details? +

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, and lay flat to dry. Do not iron directly on prints or lace to prevent damage and maintain the fabric's integrity.

What's your return policy if the fit isn't right? +

We offer free returns within 30 days for unworn items with tags attached. Please refer to our Returns page for detailed instructions and ensure the items are in original condition.
