Former Vogue style director (and current Town & Country creative director) Alexandra Kotur co-founded Parasol, a line of sun-protective swimwear. Their girls' line ($95 to $105 for two-piece sets at parasolsun.com) is pricey, but it blocks 98% of damaging rays and looks flipping adorable. We dig the swim shirts in their women's line, too.

Babiators are also free of lead, BPA, and phthalates, so no worries if they spend as much time in her mouth as over her eyes; $19.99 at babiators.com.
