Umbrellas as a Fashion Accessory
Across the pond the Europeans love to be stylish in the rain, especially the English and the Irish! Maybe it’s because they see a lot of it. After all, if its going to be a gray and rainy day, why not brighten it up with fashionable umbrellas.
Burberry used umbrellas as a fashion statement during London Fashion Week.
It’s unfortunate that not many designers have caught on. I have searched the internet for beautiful umbrellas and unfortunately didn’t find a vast selection that were OMG worthy.

Do you opt for a plain black umbrella or do you brave the rain in style? Here are a few stylish inspirations to add a little flair to your rainy day fashion.

Se have had so much rain, and I seldom use my pretty umbrella! Maybe I am afraid I will leave it somewhere, but you are right , it is a sea of black when it rains .. We need some of those gorgeous umbrellas you posted , especially from ParisBao.
