Fishing fashion

That nasty word filter in place here is kinda ridiculous at times, IMO. In any event, for the record, my favorite fishing shirts were Richard-ies..
I wear ****ie work pants under my waders too.
They're thin, and dry quickly if wet.
Hardly a fashion statement there, for sure
 
I really look the SPF fishing shirts and buffs.
They're light, and give great protection from the sun.
Cant remember the last time I applied sunscreen since I started using them.

Also started wearing wide brim hats too

Yep, i wear a 50 spf vented hat (Colombia) and a 50 spf hooded fishing shirt that has thumb holes in the sleeves so it covers past your knuckles (colombia) and i usually wear a neck gaitor too. Then i have the cheap convertible 50spf pants from Cablelas that zip off into shorts. And i wear crocks. No waders as long as i'm in the boat and its not super cold anymore. I usually wear the waders til May.
 
I wear long sleeve “fishing” shirts at the beach all day, even when I’m not fishing. The sun is bad news.

Same. I'm wearing the hats i described above any time i am outside in the summer. My Dad has had to get chunks cut out of his face, nose, ears, etc from sun exposure. No thanks
 
How many of the sun haters like me, carry around sun screen?

Some of the small packaged sunscreen, especially the small sticks made by Nutrogena or CeraVe take up next to no room in a vest or bag and can save your a$$...

Or at minimum the tops of your ears and nose if your pants are up...

Never. Hate that greasy crap on my skin. Most of the streams I fish are pretty well shaded for the most part, and my exposure to the sun is very limited. I worked outdoors for forty years without ever using it and suffered zero effects from direct sun exposure. To each their paranoid own. 😉

Back when I was mostly wearing my Richard-ies shirts to fish, I wore the bottom half of my shirt and tie job ensamble, dress slacks as supplied by my preferred tailor at the time, Jean Claude Penney inside my Ranger felted canvas rubber hippers from PA Outdoor Warehouse. I got all kinds of approving looks, mostly from frogs and muskrats..
