UV clothing

I don't really know where to put this, but I hope safety includes sun safety!  I'm looking for recommendations for UV clothing for both kids and adults.  I'd like shirts and hats, and stuff that doesn't look too dorky.  Also, for those who have used it, do you prefer long or short sleeve?  What types of things should I look for?  Thanks!

Sunsafe.com has some nice things for both children and adults.  I never bought anything for myself, but I was happy with what I found for my son.

I love http://www.coolibar.com. They have a great selection for adults and kids and after emailing a few different companies I found that some use a "proprietary chemical/chemical blend" to make their clothes UV protective. Coolibar told me that their swim clothes are UV protective due to zinc oxide or titanium dioxide applied at the fibre level.

 

Also, I'm in Canada also, and they do ship to Canada for reasonable prices.
