We all know taking shelter from the sun is an important element o keeping skin safe and healthy.
It also makes life more enjoyable under the hot summer sun when you’re lingering over lunch, or parked on the sand with a drink in hand.
But finding a good-looking umbrella to protect you is harder than it sounds. Thankfully this year there seems to be more stylish options than ever before.
A permanently-anchored option is a good idea for the home if you’re entertaining outdoors as you can be assured of its UV rating and it can hold up to wind gusts. They also offer more expansive coverage.
But if it’s a more casual protection for a table setting or you’re heading for a picnic or the beach, a classic concertina style sun umbrella is a must-have.
To ensure your sun umbrella stays safely in place, if it’s placed on a deck or patio, choose a sturdy, weighted umbrella base.
One to look out for? Coco Republic’s new collaboration with Australian luxury beach and home goods company Business & Pleasure Co.
