もう迷わない!日傘の選び方で押さえたい4ポイント!
Many people want a parasol to protect themselves from the sun and UV rays, but they're probably unsure of what kind of parasol to choose. With so many different functions and designs, it can be difficult to choose the one that's right for you. So, in this article, we will explain the four points to keep in mind when choosing a parasol. If you are having trouble choosing a parasol, please use this as a reference.

Things to remember when choosing a parasol Four points to note

1. Long umbrella? Folding umbrella? What is the shape of the parasol? Choose according to the usage scene

When choosing a parasol, the first thing you'll probably wonder is, "Should I get a long umbrella or a folding umbrella?" If you're unsure whether to get a long umbrella or a folding umbrella, choose the one that best suits your most common needs. Long umbrellas and folding umbrellas each have their own characteristics. Long umbrellas are perfect for everyday use because they don't require folding. They are also convenient for everyday use, such as commuting to work or school or shopping, as they can be quickly unfolded and used. Folding umbrellas can be folded up small, making them easy to carry. It's especially important to be able to store them in your bag when you're not using them when you're out or traveling. Long umbrellas are great for everyday use, as they don't require the hassle of taking them out or folding them up, making them easy to use. Folding umbrellas are easy to carry and are recommended for when you're out or traveling. You can find it easier to use by choosing the right one depending on the situation, such as when commuting to work or school, or when traveling.

2. Suitable for both sunny and rainy days! Choose with extra features

Have you ever been in a situation where it was sunny just a moment ago, but suddenly it started raining and you were in trouble? Parasols are essential for protecting against the sun and UV rays on sunny days, but some parasols have a function that means they can be used in rain as well as sun.* For times like these, it's a good idea to check whether your parasol has this function when choosing one. An all-weather* umbrella is a parasol that has been waterproofed, so it can be used in the rain. Compared to regular umbrellas, it is not suitable for long-term use, so if you want to use it for a short period of time without panicking in the event of a sudden downpour, it is a good idea to choose an all-weather* umbrella. While its main function is as a parasol, an all-weather umbrella* can also be used in the event of a sudden downpour. This is an important feature that makes using a parasol even more convenient. When choosing a parasol, be sure to consider these additional features.

3. Weight is also important! Choose a weight that is easy to use.

Weight is important when using and carrying a parasol. If you end up thinking, "It's too heavy and difficult to use," or "It's too hard to carry, so I'll just leave it behind," you'll end up using your parasol less, which would be a waste. Recently, lightweight parasols have become more common, but when purchasing, it is a good idea to actually hold the umbrella in the store and check its weight to be safe. If it's difficult to check the weight at the store, you can check the weight in the item description on the official website. However, heavier items are often stronger than lighter items, so be sure to consider the pros and cons when choosing the item that's right for you. Weight is an important point to consider so that you don't end up regretting that the parasol you bought doesn't fit you. Trying it out and checking it carefully will help you choose one that's right for you, so that it's easy to use and you can cherish it for a long time. Don't forget to check the weight.

4. A wide variety of designs! If you're having trouble deciding, try the usual Choose according to fashion

If you're having trouble deciding on a parasol that suits your style as well as its shape and function, try choosing one that matches your everyday fashion rather than just choosing a parasol on its own. Some people may have the image that parasols are mostly black or white. Recently, the range of designs has expanded, with a wide variety of designs available, including monotone and colorful ones, and Western and Japanese patterns. Parasols are eye-catching and can become a part of your fashion. If you like simple clothing, choose one in a subdued color. If you like flashy clothing, we recommend a brightly colored one. Also, parasols with small, delicate patterns are easy to match with a variety of outfits, while larger, bold patterns can stand out as a fashion accent. Along with function and shape, design is also important. If you can't decide because there are so many options, try to match it with your everyday fashion.

summary

When choosing a parasol, it's easier to choose one that suits you if you consider four points : shape, weight, functionality for both sun and rain*, and design . If you're having trouble choosing a parasol, keep these four points in mind and find the one that's right for you.
*Although it is said to be suitable for both sunny and rainy weather, it is also a "parasol" that can be used in emergencies such as sudden light rain. Please be careful when using it for long periods of time.
