subject: The Latest Trends In Adult Swimsuits [print this page] If there is one thing thats trendy this summer for adult swimsuits, its UV protection. You cant be too careful these days because the amount of radiation thats reaching our planet from the sun is increasing as time goes on. Of course the natural response to this information is to simply use sunscreen with higher and higher SPF ratings, but that just isnt the answer.
According to studies done by the non-profit organization Environmental Working Group, four of the five leading sunscreens either do not protect the skin well enough from the sun or contain harmful ingredients that are just as bad, if not worse, than taking the full brunt of the suns UV radiation. As more and more people all around the world become aware of these studies in support of UV protective clothing, this trend in adult swimsuits is only going to increase.
Heres how you, as a store owner, can capitalize on this trend:
Market to children and adults alike, emphasizing how important it is for parents to exemplify great sun protection habits for their children. Even retailers who only sell adult swimsuits can benefit from this tip because when you show parents how important it is to teach their children through example, youll end up with a sale.
One piece swimsuits cover more of the body, thus creating a more modest look while also offering greater UV protection. Many adult women are worried about the wrinkles and curves they develop as they age, so a one piece swimsuit provides a great answer to this. By explaining the benefits of keeping more skin covered to keep UV radiation away, youll be able to shift the focus from skimpy bikinis to adult swimsuits with more modesty and class.
Rash guards are the ultimate in sun protection because they are perfect to wear in the water or on land. Rash guards or swim shirts are made of material that wicks moisture away from the body, so they work better for beach or hot weather athletes than ordinary swimsuits do.
Kaftans are a great way to cover up some of the time. Of course bikinis will probably never disappear completely, so for women who must show some skin, kaftans are the answer. This type of clothing is like a robe or beach cover-up that can easily be put on over a swimsuit. Adults and children alike should have one of these made from UV protective material in their wardrobe.
In short, adult swimsuits must have UV protection built into them if were going to stay safe, and it is up to store owners to teach the public about why it is so important.
