Back then, they seemed to just wear a lot more clothes. It's such an odd stance to think you can't use an umbrella or clothing to block out the sun. I can understand being skeptical about the side-effects of sunscreen being slathered on your body and absorbed... but it's pretty common to see depiction of parasols being used in older times.
I have lupus and my skin has become really sensitive to the sun as I’ve got older. I think about getting a parasol fairly regularly but I don’t have the confidence or style to pull it off unfortunately!
No need to worry about pulling off the style because no one can wear these with style anyways
You can see the sadness in that guys eyes…
I just visited DC a few weeks ago and it was insanely hot and bright. I always carry an umbrella in my day bag so I used it for shade walking around. Even though it looked dorky and wasn't at all stylish I got a ton of compliments and nods of approval. Just do it, nobody will judge, everyone will think you're a genius.
Screw what everyone else thinks and rock that parasol.
