Cool Umbrella Trends

Umbrellas often evoke a shoddy image of a seasonal necessity just limited for shielding oneself from the unforgiving monsoons. Usually seen in black, this often neglected accessory has come to define the hottest trend this monsoon. Be it Victorian aristocrats shielding themselves under umbrellas made of lace and cotton to the more sturdier versions carried by the geishas in Japan, umbrellas have ridden the tide of change in fashion.

Today, cool and statement umbrellas are all the rage. From being available in solid bright hues to interesting patterns, there is a lot to choose from. Considered to be a covetable accessory now, a number of luxury labels such as Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Burberry often experiment with them.

Here are the coolest umbrella trends to try this monsoon.

Striped Perfection

One might have many reservations for this pattern, but let's face it, stripes are here to stay. From monochrome black and white to being created in multiple colours, stripes when contrasted with any outfit, go along well. In case you are too intimidated to infuse some colour in your look, pick up a sleek striped umbrella in black and white and you are all set to step outside in monsoon in style.

Solid Colours

For all those with a sense of adventure, solid colours can be a great option to try. We say veer away from those traditional navy blues and boring blacks. Pick up umbrellas in neons and tones of reds. Even though the skies are grey and you might not feel like dressing up, you can infuse a bit of fun with bright-hued umbrellas.

See Through

Just in case you prefer having a bit of fun in the rain, this is the umbrella trend to try. As the name suggests, see through, mostly available in clear sturdy yet transparent materials can be experimented with in a variety of ways. Just in case you want to add a tinge of colour, we suggest go ahead take out your paint brushes and get going with some drawings on it. It be a great canvas to show your skills.
