OUR FABRIC
Revolutionizing Sun Protection
At So Chic On The Beach, we understand that true protection begins with the fabric. That’s why we’ve developed and sourced materials that provide unparalleled sun protection, all while maintaining the elegance and comfort you deserve.
Our fabrics are more than just textiles; they are your first line of defense against harmful UV rays, carefully designed to keep you safe, comfortable, and stylish during any outdoor activity.
The Power of UPF 50+
What is UPF?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is the gold standard for measuring fabric’s ability to block UV rays. Unlike regular clothing, which may let UV radiation pass through, our UPF 50+ certified fabrics block 98% of UVA and UVB rays, offering maximum protection.
Why UPF Clothing?
- Consistent Protection: Unlike sunscreen, which needs reapplication, our fabrics shield your skin all day.
- Medical-Grade Safety: Tested and trusted by dermatologists and UV experts.
- Skin Cancer Prevention: An effective way to reduce exposure to harmful UV radiation, a leading cause of skin cancer.
Our Certifications
We pride ourselves on creating products you can trust. Every fabric is rigorously tested and certified by internationally recognized organizations:
- ARPANSA (Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency): Ensures our UPF fabrics meet the highest global standards.
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100: Guarantees our textiles are free from harmful substances, making them safe for all skin types, including children’s.

How to Care for your clothing
Proper care ensures your clothing maintains its sun-protective properties and looks great for years to come. Follow these simple guidelines:
Washing
- Machine wash cold with similar colors.
- Use a gentle detergent.
- Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric’s UV protection.
Drying
- Air dry in the shade for best results.
- Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat can damage the fabric’s elasticity.
Ironing
- Iron on a low setting if needed.
- Avoid direct heat on printed areas or logos.
Additional Tips
- Rinse garments thoroughly after exposure to chlorine or saltwater.
- Store in a cool, dry place to preserve fabric quality.
- For garments with zippers, close them before washing to prevent snags.
