Nowadays, a women's umbrella is a must-have accessory for a wardrobe. It is he who can save the fair sex in the heat and in wet rainy weather.
If twenty years ago, a female umbrella was a common object that did not attract too much attention and was painted in black and blue, today in rainy weather bright multi-colored accessories cheer up. There is no bad weather. And umbrellas are a direct proof of this.
Umbrella Purpose
Umbrellas for women today perform not only protective functions, but for the most part they also complement the stylish external image. Today, the most avid fashionistas in the arsenal have not just one old and nondescript umbrella, but several new ones, bright and attractive. And they are all matched to the colors of the outfit and time of year. In the spring, it is better to use more saturated bright shades, while in the fall - deep warm colors that will remind you of pleasant sunny days.
Varieties of umbrellas
Umbrellas for women differ among themselves not only in the color of the canvas. Attention is paid to the design, the presence of spokes, the quality and type of materials from which they are made.
The most common female umbrella is classic. Its design includes a wooden or plastic handle, rounded at the base into a so-called hook, for which it is convenient to hold and subsequently comfortable to place somewhere on a hanger or chair. The classic look can have a mechanical (manual) start or automatic, which is triggered by pressing a button.
A classic umbrella can have eight, ten, sixteen or more needles. Depending on the bending of the spokes, the upper part of the umbrella is formed.
There are both fully automated umbrellas and semi-automatic ones on sale. Umbrellas for women "automatic" open and close by pressing the push-button mechanism. This umbrella is convenient to use if in inclement weather you have to travel by public transport. A semiautomatic device is an umbrella that only opens with a button, but you have to fold it manually, which is not very comfortable when the canvas is wet. Automatic options often fail, compared to mechanical standard designs.
Today, along with classic canes, you can find folding umbrellas for women. In such models, knitting needles have jumpers in several places, so the umbrella can be folded compactly and placed even in a small women's handbag.
They are beautiful, comfortable, but it is undesirable to use such an umbrella in windy weather. Knitting needles with jumpers are not as strong as solid, and have the ability to turn the canvas of the umbrella out or break under strong impulses.
The classic female umbrella-cane has a more rounded dome, on which water easily rolls, and its spokes are durable, on which the canvas is very tightly stretched. Such umbrellas are not afraid of either heavy rain, or wind, or wet snow. And the size of the dome is much larger than that of folding umbrellas.
Umbrella cane has such a name. It really can serve as a cane, which you can safely rely on, because the one-piece handle is very durable. The only drawback of the umbrella cane is its length. It can not be hidden in a bag or bag, but all the time you need to hold it in your hands, which is uncomfortable in public transport.
In your wardrobe you need to have several umbrellas of various designs. Some are suitable for the summer season and shallow heavy rain, others are durable - it is better to use wind storms in inclement weather.
Umbrellas differ among themselves not only in the type of construction, but also in the material of the canvas from which the dome is made. A reliable material is nylon, the rough material does not get wet, does not have the properties to stretch and sit down. Polyester has a higher quality, thanks to the slippery surface, water drains quickly from such umbrellas. Polyester does not get wet and does not stretch.
Pongee is also used for domes - fabric similar to a raincoat fabric. This is the so-called mid-range between nylon and polyester. Really like modern fashionistas vinyl umbrellas. They are very easy to recognize - umbrellas with vinyl are transparent.

Little secrets to keeping umbrellas

The canvas of the dome has the “fade” property, and so that the umbrella always looks bright, after inclement weather, when the canvas is still wet, you need to wash it with warm water and a soapy solution of any detergent, preferably a gel-like consistency, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
