Materials like tightly woven fabrics and light-colored clothing can provide better sun protection by blocking more UV rays. Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon may offer better UV protection compared to natural fibers like cotton or linen. However, wearing clothing with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings can provide the highest level of sun protection for the skin.
