I’m started this thread so as not to hijack another forum member’s thread with my tangental post! In 4 weeks I will be taking a 2 week vacay in a sunny destination and I’m hoping to add a rash guard or two to my vacation capsule. I have never worn a rash guard before, relying on a high SPF sunscreen, however I have also experienced burnt shoulders, etc. after much in-and-out of the water which likely washed off even SPF Sport type cream. I want to give a rash guard a try. I would like it to be reasonably well (close?) fitting so that I can comfortably wear in in the water without it bagging out, and I would like it to be fashionable, if that is possible.

I was leaning towards Lands’ End due to good reviews, but atm I don’t fancy their selection. I am waiting for an updated catalogue to see what they have for the coming season. Athleta and LLBean online did not have much on offer. I am going to look at Boden (as suggested by Cardiff Girl) and follow up some leads from Nemosmom. If anyone has any recommendations, please share them.

FWIW the Lands’ End rash guards come in petite, regular, long, and plus long as well as sizes XS (2-4) - 3X (24-26W).
