We're in a season of weather flux; rain in the morning, blinding sunlight by lunch then drizzle come evening. What a joy! Aside from the usual rain coats, winter boots and warm layers, we're hailing the umbrella as this season's must-have accessory.
Whilst packable mini brollies make the ideal handbag hero, there is something to be said for an umbrella with a little more structure. One that will withstand the icy winds and not turn inside out at the slightest hint of a breeze. Marks & Spencer has this covered, offering a foldable umbrella that fits neatly in your bag with the brand's Stormwear™ water-repellent technology built in, so you'll definitely stay dry. What's even better is that this smart little brolly comes in at only £9.50 and is available in three prints, so you can match yours to your outfit - chic!
For those of us who don't want a bulky umbrella distracting from our outfits, a clear brolly makes the perfect plus one and is ideal for the party season. If you're off to a winter wedding, which can often throw up plenty of weather related 'what to wear' conundrums, a clear umbrella will have you covered (literally) whatever the weather.
With a whole range of options from high fashion brands to the high-street, there are plenty to choose from right now.
