turns out it's far more socially acceptable to just use a parasol all the time than I thought
I'm thrilled about this realization as it's a great fashion choice too, in addition to saving my pale ass from the sun

@tastymochafox HELL YEAH
there are also some parasols that are rain-resistant enough to be umbrellas and fold down small like a travel umbrella, too! (i have one of that style that has its own carrying bag!)
it takes some delving but if you find the right keyword set, aliexpress (and taobao if you're more hardcore) have GREAT selections - i get the sense that right now in asia, physical sun protection is a lot bigger than in the west. there's also cute sun-blocking tops and shrugs to find too!
@wigglytuffitout this one is rain resistant too allegedly!! both of my parasols fold down which is rly important since I want them all the time!
thank you for the leads, I do in fact want to improve my anti-sun game since I HATE the sun!
