No rain fell on the first umbrella. This was because the original purpose of the umbrella was to provide shade. However, today, the umbrella is generally associated with rain.
The umbrella has various uses in different countries. It is used as the protection against the sun in hot countries. It is a symbol of rank and state in certain oriental and African countries. In the early times, only a few could afford to own an umbrella.
The British began using umbrellas during the eighteenth century. A man named Brian MacDonald is said to have started the craze for umbrella. For women the parasols became fashionable. They used a parasol to protect their skin from the sun when they went out. No one knows who invented first umbrella. But the umbrella has been in use for a long time.
Today, the umbrella is one of the essential items in rainy weather. It has saved people from getting wet. The umbrella is not only portable protection against the rain, but it is also considered a fashion accessory. It would be odd to see an elegantly dressed girl carrying a big, black, ugly umbrella.
Umbrellas for women are sometimes made to match an all-weather coat or a folding raincoat. Golfers too have their own multi-coloured ' golf umbrella', which is also used on the beach by beach-goers.
