Whether it's a bikini or an all-in-one, we all want to look our best at the beach. As much as it's important to feel comfortable and look chic, protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is imperative, and lathering up with your favourite sun cream should always be high on your agenda. However, if you need extra protection but still want to look cool by the pool, you need to check out Une Piece – an Australian brand that is hitting headlines for not only its designs, but because the fabric has a rating of 50+ SPF. The swimsuit enables you to stay protected from the sun without have to make the extra effort of applying sun screen.
