Stop chasing your kids with sunscreen
You know the drill. You’re already running late, coffee’s gone cold, and your kids are halfway out the door asking to go now.
You grab the sunscreen. They run.
You finally get it on (kind of)… and spend the rest of the day wondering if you missed a spot.
Sunfolk Apparel was made to remove that moment.
Just put it on and go
Our Everyday Sun Safe Shirt gives your child UPF50+ protection (blocks 98% of UV rays) — without the chasing, the arguing, or the constant reapplying.
No waiting 20 minutes. No sticky arms. No “just stand still for one second.”
Just one less thing to think about before you leave the house.
Designed for real life (not just the beach)
This isn’t a rashie.
It’s made to be worn:
To the park
At daycare
In the backyard
On everyday outings
So your child stays protected without looking like they’re headed for a swim.
Why mums love it
So much easier than sunscreen
No fuss — just throw it on
Lightweight + breathable (no sweaty meltdowns)
Dries fast (no soggy toddler)
Actually looks good — finally
Built for Aussie conditions
UPF50+ certified protection
Lightweight, breathable polyester
Quick-dry fabric
Designed for all-day wear
The easiest decision you’ll make today
You don’t need another complicated routine.
You just need something that works — without the fight.
Keeping it in good shape is simple:
Cold gentle machine wash
Wash inside out with like colours
Do not bleach, soak, or rub
Line dry in the shade
Do not tumble dry
Do not iron
Do not dry clean
A rinse after a beach or pool day helps the fabric last longer and keeps the UPF protection performing the way it should.
While our shirts and rompers provide UPF 50+ protection, they’re just one part of staying sun safe. For best protection, pair them with other sun-smart essentials like a broad-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen on exposed skin.
Please note: the UPF rating may be reduced if the fabric is wet, stretched, or not cared for according to instructions..
We keep things easy at Sunfolk Apparel. Your order will be packed and on its way within 1–2 business days.
Flat rate standard shipping of $8.95 Australia-wide or free express shipping Australia-wide when you spend $120 or more— no code needed.

The shirt's already doing it. Once it's on, the sun protection is handled. No reapplying. No wiping off. No negotiating. UPF50+ certified fabric, built in. So they can get on with their day, and you can too.
Stylish Designs That Go With Everything
Cute enough that you'll actually want to put it on them. Pairs easily with whatever's already in their wardrobe. Denim shorts, leggings. Dressed up or dressed down. Timeless enough to wear all season. Subtle enough to go with everything.
COMFY ENOUGH FOR EVERYDAY WEAR
Soft enough that they won't even notice they're wearing it. No rashie stiffness. No itchy fabric. No complaints about being too hot. Just a comfortable everyday shirt, with UPF50+ quietly doing its job underneath.
Unlike sunscreen, it doesn’t rub off, sweat off, or wash away. Just put it on and know they’re protected... no chasing, no reapplying.
Our UPF50+ Fabric
Our fabric is soft, light, and genuinely comfortable to wear on a hot day. It's breathable, quick to dry, and built to handle real kid use. The UPF50+ protection is built into the weave itself. It doesn't wash out or wear off. Every wash, every wear, it's still doing its job.
Tested by ARPANSA to AS4399:2020.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 38 reviews.
Such a versatile, comfortable, well made and attractive sun shirt! The 3 front buttons make it easy to put on and my little one (2 years old) is well protected from the sun and wind. Would recommend and buy again!
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your review Kate! I love that you mentioned versatile - that was definitely on my list to achieve when designing the shirts :)
Great shirt and saves the sunscreen hassle for their whole body!
Perfect outfit for a day out, and swimming! Love the design, and style for everyday use. I love that it has SPF coverage so I’m not worrying about my little one all the time.
Love the sun-safe romper, runs a little small. We got a 0 for our baby who’s still in 00 so we could get longer use but the 0 fits him perfectly now.
Such a nice shirt we will be buying the next size up for sure!
Love it. Looks great and my son is happy wearing it around the playground in the sun in south east QLD because it’s such a light cool fabric. Its so much easier than sunscreen and I feel so much more relaxed knowing his skin is protected from the UV
It cleans stains off fairly well as well and has only sustained some tiny minor pulls despite 2 year old play sliding up and down in parks and in the dirt.
I’ve since purchased one of every colour for my son and others as gifts.
We absolutely love our Sunfolk apparel! Not only are the shirts super stylish but the sun protection is amazing! We trialed it at the beach and of course our little one took a tumble in the water. We are very impressed that less than 10 minutes later the shirt was dry! No fuss and no soggy toddler! The designs are gorgeous and perfect for little adventurers. We will definitely be buying more! Highly recommend for any parent who wants both sun safe and stylish clothing for their little ones.
My son has worn the shirt on many hiking adventures so far and we love the protection it provides from the sun. It is practical and stylish at the same time. The material is soft and lightweight. I would recommend to my friends.
Exactly what I was looking for. Difficult to find “Sun” or “fishing” shirts for girls that aren’t ugly to be honest & these are beautiful. Love the colours and sizing is generous, so they’re cool for Aussie Summers. Highly recommend.
I have bought the sun shirt for my grandson who will be visiting from Canada. The fabric is super soft and of a very good quality. As he grows I will most certainly buy the next size.
Ride The Waves Sun-Safe Shirt – Sunfolk Apparel
The Ride The Waves Sun-Safe Shirt is an absolute favourite. The material feels soft and cool against the skin. The cut gives a relaxed, easy fit that lets my son move freely, whether he’s running, splashing, or riding his scooter. Looks amazing and has become his go-to shirt for Kindy and weekend adventures. Excellent sun protection, great quality, and such a fun look! 🌊☀️
Dainty Floral Sun-Safe Shirt - Sunfolk Apparel
My son loves the colour pink - and he definitely loves this sun-safe shirt! The fabric is so soft, light, and breathable, making it perfect for warm Queensland days. The fit lets him run, climb, and play comfortably, and I love knowing he's protected from the sun. He wears his Sunfolk Apparel shirts every day during outdoor play at Kindy.
Daisy Rose Sun-Safe Romper (3-6 months)
The Daisy Rose Sun-Safe Romper nails the balance between practical sun protection and delightful, soft comfort. The fabric feels beautifully smooth and breathable - lightweight yet durable enough for all-day play. The cut is thoughtful and well-shaped, allowing easy movement without ever feeling tight or bulky. Every detail, from the gentle stretch cuffs to the easy-fit neckline, feels designed with comfort in mind. A gorgeous piece that keeps little ones cool, protected, and looking adorable.
Not at all! Our neutral designs are made for everyday wear — perfect for park hangs, backyard play, or cafe trips.
Yes. The fabric is soft and breathable, and the prints use certified inks, so they're tested safe for direct skin contact. No harsh dyes, no irritants.
For most everyday situations — running through sprinklers, a bit of splash — yes, it holds up well. Like any fabric, the UPF rating can reduce if it's stretched or heavily saturated, so for pool or beach days we'd always suggest pairing with a hat and sunscreen on exposed skin too.
