Etymology
The term 'sunwear' is a combination of 'sun', which comes from the Old English word 'sunne', and 'wear', derived from the Old English word 'werian', meaning 'to carry' or 'to bear'. The usage of 'sunwear' began to increase in the late 20th century as the awareness of the harmful effects of UV radiation grew. With a focus on skin protection and fashion trends, the concept of wearing specialized apparel and accessories for sun protection emerged. Today, sunwear encompasses a wide range of products designed to allow individuals to enjoy outdoor activities while minimizing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage.
