Surf’s up at SM

MANILA, Philippines - It’s an endless summer for aquaholics who frequent surfing destinations like Baler, La Union, Pagudpud, Samar, and Siargao.

At the SM Store, surf-inspired clothing, like rash guards, abounds. These tight shirts — designed to protect the surfer’s skin from the irritating wax on the surfboards — come in stripes, boho prints, fun florals, and colorful chevron prints, and one can pair them with board shorts or bikini bottoms.

 Sometimes embedded with SPF and made with breathable, quick-drying fabric, the rash guard is an indispensable piece of clothing that is getting more fashion-forward by the season. Tory Burch wore one from her own collection while on vacation; Diane von Furstenberg partnered with Roxy; and Cynthia Rowley and J Crew are riding on the rash guard crest. And again, we all secretly want to look like Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush.

The collection is exclusively available at the Girls Teen Wear Department of the SM Store.
