Sun Protection With Cute Accessories

With summer almost here, I’m sure many of you will be heading to the beach and pool. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen, sunglasses and even a wide-brimmed beach hat.

Never spend any time in the sun without sunscreen. Skin cancer is serious and you must protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays. You can also protect your eyes and skin with fashionable accessories.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses are fabulous fashion accessories, particularly right now since the trend is such big, bold glasses. Oversized sunglasses offer UV protection while looking glamorous too. Here are a couple of my favorite oversized sunglasses.

These sunglasses feature cut-out sides to enhance their simple shape. You can get these sunglasses, which offer 100% UV protection, at Nordstrom for $380.

Marc Jacobs Oversized Square Sunglasses

Giorgio Armani Gemstone Sunglasses
If you want to splurge on a pair of big sunglasses this summer, check out these from Giorgio Armani. They have a little bit of a “bug eyed” look, which is quite trendy these days. You can get these glasses, which feature obsidian gemstone temples, at Neiman Marcus for just under $700.

Beach Hats

A wide-brimmed sun hat can protect your hair, scalp and face from direct sunlight. Hats can be a fun addition to your summer wardrobe.
