parasols

Handheld shade makers

Parasols are lightweight umbrellas designed to provide shade from the sun rather than protection from rain.

The fabric is typically decorative rather than waterproof.

Parasols evoke Victorian fashion and garden parties: She twirled her lace parasol as she strolled the grounds.

Large parasols shade outdoor tables at cafes and beaches.
