Finding stylish UPF clothing that actually looks good used to feel impossible. Either you protected your skin or you looked the part. Watskin was built on the belief that you should never have to choose. This summer's print lineup proves that sun protective swimwear can be just as fashion forward as anything else in your wardrobe. Here's a breakdown of the hottest prints of the season and exactly how to wear them.
Leopard: The Print That Never Goes Out of Style
Leopard is the rare print that feels both timeless and of the moment every single summer. Watskin's stylish UPF clothing in Leopard spans everything from the Carly Bodysuit to the Sasha Long Sleeve Tee and Belle Bikini Bottom, giving you multiple ways to wear one of fashion's most enduring prints. For a polished poolside look, pair the Sasha Tee in Leopard with a solid black Belle Bottom and the Sienna Hat in Leopard for a head to toe moment that's intentional without trying too hard. For a softer take, Pink Leopard brings a feminine blush tone to the same bold print, pairing beautifully with neutral accessories and a wide brim hat.
Wavy Stripe: The Modern Classic
Stripes have always had a place in summer wardrobes but Wavy Stripe reimagines the classic with fluid, artful lines that feel fresh and contemporary. This sun protective swimwear style is available in the Ryann Bodysuit, Sasha Tee, Belle Bottom, and Piper Short Sleeve Tee, making it one of the most versatile prints in the collection. Style the Piper Tee with a matching Belle Bottom for an effortless set or mix the Sasha Tee in Wavy Stripe with a solid black bottom for a more editorial feel. Either way the print does the work for you.
Bold Stripe: The Statement Maker
If Wavy Stripe is the subtle nod to classic stripe dressing, Bold Stripe is the full commitment. Multicolor, high energy, and impossible to miss, this stylish UPF clothing option is for the woman who walks into any room and owns it. Pair it back with a single solid color accessory to let the print breathe. A white Sienna Hat, a tan tote, and simple gold jewelry keeps the look elevated without competing with the pattern. The Carly Bodysuit in Bold Stripe worn poolside with a great pair of sunglasses is honestly all you need.
Natural Zebra: The Elevated Neutral
Sun protective swimwear doesn't always have to make noise to make a statement. Natural Zebra proves that the boldest prints can also be the most wearable. With an earthy, neutral palette that sits beautifully against sun kissed skin, it pairs effortlessly with ivory, camel, and warm tan tones for a resort ready look that feels sophisticated from every angle. Try the Ryann Bodysuit in Natural Zebra under the Olivia Wrap Skirt in a complementary tone for the kind of beach to brunch outfit that requires almost no thought and earns every compliment.
Blue Water Stripe: The Fresh New Arrival
Blue Water Stripe is the stylish UPF clothing print that stopped everyone in their tracks the moment it launched. A fluid, modern take on the classic stripe reimagined in a cool, deep blue palette that feels as fresh as the water it was made for. Style it as a set for a clean, coordinated look or mix the Sasha Tee in Blue Water Stripe with a solid black Belle Bottom for a more stylish contrast. Finish with the Sienna Hat in Blue Denim and you've got a head to toe look that's polished, protected, and completely effortless.
The Watskin Approach to Prints
Whatever print you're drawn to this summer, great style and serious sun protection are never mutually exclusive.

Bold or subtle, stripes or animal print, the best stylish UPF clothing is always the kind you wear like you mean it. Live in the Light.
