Could it be a good idea to wear long underwear in the summer for protection from skin cancer?

Too hot!: Depending on where you live, it might be too hot to wear long underwear during the summer! you should protect your skin with sunscreen (spf 30), hats, uv protective shirts, and minimize your sun exposure. Enjoy the summer!

Sun protection : Long underwear is impractical for hot weather sun protection. There are much lighter ultraviolet protective clothing and of course sunscreen that would be better choices.
