Accessorize

Accessories aren't just a fashion statement; they're also great for guarding against the sun. Sunglasses protect your eyes, particularly wraparound ones that provide 100-percent UVA and UVB protection. Hats also help, but only ones that shade your face, neck and ears. Broad brimmed hats, for instance, are ideal for sun protection. You can also choose a hat with a flap that covers the back of the neck, or wear a scarf.
