Because even Los Angeles has a rainy season — granted it lasts for about a week and a half and only drizzles enough to make people forget how to drive — but getting caught out in the elements unprepared looks foolish anywhere. Time to ditch the ratty black eye poking machine that gets turned inside-out in a gentle breeze, and go instead for one of these classy, stylish umbrellas to keep you dry.
1. Malacca Flask Umbrella by Swaine Adeney Brigg ($720). So what if it costs a small fortune? Putting a small, functional flask into the handle of an umbrella is just the thing you would expect from a company that has been keeping the English dry for 250 years. Nothing goes with a rainy morning subway ride like bourbon.
2. The Commuter by London Undercover ($96). London Undercover launched in 2008 with the aim to “…turn around the humble umbrella and allow it to reach its true potential as a fashion accessory.” We approve. We’re also big fans of the Fish & Chips version.
3. Tiger Woods 62″ Windsheer II Umbrella by Nike Golf ($38). There’s absolutely nothing stylish about it at all, but we couldn’t resist trying to work in the phrase “media shit storm”.
4. Plaid in Sambuca by Caulfield Prepatory ($145). Sturdy. Plaid. Hotness.
