With such a soggy winter, it's likely we're all reaching for our best umbrellas – or waterproof jacket – more regularly at the moment. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as they are not only practical in keeping you dry and creating romantic opportunities if you’re single and chivalrous, but they can also make for a great accessory.

Even in the summer, no matter the forecast, the lingering doubt of a downpour – even a ‘tropical one’ after a fortnight of permanent blue sky – is enough to make us check there’s an umbrella in our car, day bag, or right by the front door.

So whether you pick a practical, compact umbrella, or a large umbrella to protect the entire family, we've got you covered. It’s the perfect time to embrace the maxim, ‘out with the old and in with the new’ and we’ve got some great inspiration in our roundup of the best umbrellas.
