I've got pale skin, brown (and gray!) hair that comes to my shoulders, and I'm 45. I'm hoping to find some lovely and comfortable sun protection shirts for summer swim league season and many hours by the pool.

What brands are always comfortable? Have you seen any that are really cute? I always struggle with finding ones that are a good color on me, so I end up using some lands end ones that are getting too old to be effective.

Have you checked Athleta and Title Nine? I think any of the colors would work (the blue is gorgeous in person) http://m.athleta.gap.com/product.html?dn=ap213454052&dv=1&sdkw=pacifica-upf-hoodie-P213454&kwid=1&referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.athleta.com%2FcommonDoma inFrame.do%3FtargetURL%3D%252Fbrowse%252Fproduct.d o%253Fpid%253D213454052%2526vid%253D1%2526locale%2 53Den_US%2526kwid%253D1%2526sem%253Dfalse%2526sdkw %253Dpacifica-upf-hoodie-P213454%2526sdReferer%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252 Fwww.athleta.com%25252Fproducts%25252Fsun-protection-shirts.jsp%26sem%3Dtrue&locale=en_US&sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.athleta.com%2Fproducts% 2Fsun-protection-shirts.jsp&pid=213454052&sem=false&vid=1

I have a 1/4 zip blue and white striped one from LLBean that I really like. But I am also on the lookout for a second one. I would like it to be a solid color, probably some shade of blue or purple, long sleeve but not super long with thumb holes like the Athleta one linked about (though I think it looks great!! just not what I am looking for), crew or slight v neck. Or maybe I should look for short sleeve? Not sure!!

I got this in a cute pattern a couple years ago and it is comfortable and has worn well. You just have to make sure to sunscreen your forearms really well. I'm guessing they will release new patterns and colors soon.

I have two of this style and love them. I have black and navy with white embroidery around the neckline. I think it's way more flattering than the tee shirt style ones I've tried in the past.

Wow, you guys are awesome! I'll totally grab the REI and Athleta ones linked as soon as I can find a 20% off! Seen those? :)

About the shorter sleeves....the inside of my elbow skin gets SO dark and damaged...but they are SO much cuter...why can't they make them at least 3/4 so I feel less guilty. (Had a dermatology visit today, and I PASS their office on the way to our pool, lol.)

Please keep the ideas rolling!
