Parasols, As Apparel Sun Protection

The word parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun. Umbrellas and parasols are primarily hand-held portable devices sized for personal use. Larger parasols capable of blocking the sun for several people are often used as fixed or semi-fixed devices, used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture, or as points of shade on a sunny beach.

Umbrella, Is Rainwear Apparel

Hand-held umbrellas have some type of handle, either a wooden or plastic cylinder or a bent "crook" handle (like the handle of a cane). Umbrellas are available in a range of price and quality points, ranging from inexpensive, modest quality models sold at discount stores to expensive, finely made, designer-labeled models.
