Is this shirt actually sun-protective?

The listing calls it a sun protection shirt but gives no UPF rating. Treat it as a light physical cover layer, not certified UV clothing, and use sunscreen on exposed skin.

How does the free size fit?

It is one loose, lengthened cut of about 100cm. The listing warns that Asian sizing runs 1 to 2 sizes smaller, so check the size chart and size up if you are between sizes.

What is it made of and how does it feel?

It is polyester, so it is light, dries fast and resists wrinkles. It breathes less than cotton or linen and can feel warm in still, humid air.

Can I wear it as a regular shirt, not just at the beach?

Yes. The loose, long cut works as a casual summer layer over a tee or dress. The beach prints make it read as resort wear rather than office wear.

How should I wash it?

Wash polyester in cool water and hang it to dry; it dries quickly and needs little ironing. Avoid high heat, which can shrink or distort the print.

Will the color match the photos?

The listing notes that screens display colors differently, so the actual shade may vary slightly. Expect the closest match in the plain orange and light green options.
