    Oh I never thought about that! Going to be more aware of what I wear in the sun now. I don't tend to wear vest tops much but I live in t shirts during the summer.....nothing worse than brown arms and white body/shoulders (although Keith Lemon quite likes that look ?).

    Question is....do we wear boob tubes all summer long or cover up?

    I have aLready failed this one!

    We did a 10 mile hike last weekend and now I have brown arms and white shoulders.

    Then we did a long journey in the car so I also have a seatbelt strap tan line going across my chest!

    6 weeks to even out, don't know what to do!

    Being ridiculously pale and prone to burning, I have a decent collection of lightweight long sleeved tops. Living in these when it's sunny so avoided strap marks so far. Not much warmer than a strappy top, and boob tubes not an option (30G/H!)

    I'm paranoid about getting strap marks as I tan easily. I'll either be wearing factor 50 sun screen or long sleeves!

    I always end up with really odd shaped strap marks where the top has slipped or something, or one side of my back tanned and the other not - or worse, burning across both my shoulders so the strap mark stays forever. I think I still have last year's shoulder strap marks Smiley sad

    MUA said to me do not cover up, you will look more stupid with brown face neck and hands than with strap lines. she can use make up to blend straplines. I work outdoors so I just plan on wear loads of different tops to keep away from very vivid white lines.

    My strap marks are permanently white!

    I'm going to end up with real issues with this. On busy days at work I often get shoved outside and if its sunny i'm risking tan lines in the shape of my work blouse and there's nothing I can do about it ? Plus I don't know what to do about going out in the day time. If its warm I don't want to cover up, but don't want to risk any lines!

    I don't think I need to worry too much because i'm having a bolero made but still. I think I will be slathering on the factor 50 suncream every time the sun even peeps out now!

    Last summer, I looked like a right grease monkey (with a sun phobia) whilst out on dog walks because I'd cover myself up completely and slap on factor 50. I don't need to worry about tan lines this year ?
