Whether you live in a drought state or one of the rainiest climates in the country, with a great umbrella stashed in your car, house or everyday carry-all, you can seek shade or shelter from the storm in the push of a button. And the good thing is that reliable umbrellas aren’t expensive, which means you can afford to stock up on a few to fit your mood – and your wardrobe. Some fantastic, stylish choices include:
Totes Mini Yarn-dyed Auto Open/Close Fashion Umbrella. Give a rainy, cloudy day a hint to shimmer with this slightly sparkly gold umbrella. Not only is it a sophisticated addition to a minimalist look, but with its compact shape, when closed it can easily fit into a handbag, messenger bag or briefcase.
Totes Micron Umbrella. Measuring just six inches long when closed, and weighing in at only six ounces, this super-compact umbrella offers protection from the elements that will easily slip into any bag. Because of its small size, though – this is an especially attractive option for guys on the go.
Frankford Clear Bubble Umbrella. Stay dry and watch where you’re going with this clear, classic-style umbrella. Just stash it in the trunk of your car or behind your office door and you’ll always have easy access to rain gear that won’t slow you down.
Shed Rain Essential Auto Open/Close. In a classic array of colors, this handy little umbrella has a 42-inch arc (which offers plenty of room for two), a wind reflex frame and sturdy aluminum shaft with a rubber-coated handle, so you won’t lose your grip. Perfect for places where wind accompanies the rain.
IZOD Umbrellas Automatic Open Windproof. Whether you’re out on the golf course or watching your kid’s game, this uniquely shaped umbrella provides a wide canopy for plenty of protection from the sun and rain, but also features an overlapping double canopy to prevent the umbrella from inverting during windy days.
Miquel Rius Agatha Umbrella. For the young girls in your life, snap up a tween-friendly Miguel Rius umbrella that will give her protection from the rain that also speaks to her style. Best of all, this great umbrella is small enough when folded that she can easily stash it in her backpack or locker.
