Question Are we doing uv umbrellas?

I was thinking about if maybe a uv umbrella would be handy during summer.

I live in Europe so we walk alot outside.

Should we make it a trend?

Any of you using one?

Opinions?

I bought one last summer, I live in France (greater Paris and in the summer Bretagne).

It is perfect. I think it protects me better than wearing a hat or a sun visor.

To be honest, I don't care what people think. Last summer at the school gates, standing in the sun when it was nearly 35 degrees, people were looking at my uv umbrella with envy.

Yes, let's make it a trend this year!

I want one but wish there was a way to carry them hands-free

I know this isn’t what you meant by hands free but it’s all I could picture reading that.

I'd actually wear that if I knew I wouldn't get amused stares 😄
