Hello, I'm Sugawara, the designer! In recent years, summers in Japan have been hit by scorching heat like that of the subtropics. Parasols have become an essential item for women to protect themselves from the intense ultraviolet rays. Men are no exception. To protect themselves from ultraviolet rays, which accelerate skin aging, men should also use parasols to enjoy a healthy and cool summer. So, this time we will introduce the benefits of men using parasols, points to consider when choosing a parasol for men, and the three latest recommended parasols for men. |
■ Why men need parasols too

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of "parasol men" has increased. Here are some of the benefits of using parasols for men. ① Reduces perceived temperature It has been proven that using a parasol can lower the perceived temperature by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. Therefore, for men who don't like the heat, a parasol that can help prevent heatstroke can be a valuable ally.
② Protect your scalp from direct sunlight Direct sunlight hitting the hair weakens it, causing hair loss and thinning. It is also said that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can make hair more prone to graying. Many adult men have hair problems, so we recommend using a parasol to prevent hair loss and thinning hair. ③It is also useful for skin care. By avoiding direct sunlight, you can also prevent skin aging, just like women. Men may not be as concerned about wrinkles and blemishes as women, but excessive sun exposure can lead to skin diseases such as skin cancer, so it's better to take precautions. |

Even if you want to try using a parasol, you may not know which one to choose. Here are some recommended points to consider when choosing a parasol for men. ① Choose an umbrella that can be used in both rain and shine An all-weather umbrella is an umbrella that has a light-blocking coating on the underside and can be used in both sunny and rainy weather. For those who want to carry less luggage, we recommend an umbrella that can be used on both sunny and rainy days. ②Choose a folding umbrella If you use a long umbrella, you will have to put it in an umbrella stand, and you will likely forget about it when you get home. Choose a folding umbrella that you can put in your bag when you are not using it. 3. Choose a design that suits both work and casual occasions When choosing an umbrella, choose a color that will go well with both work and private scenes. We recommend muted colors such as black, brown, and navy. Also, outdoor, sporty designs and colors do not go well with jackets or suits, so we recommend umbrellas with classic designs, such as those with natural wooden handles. |

It is made of UV -resistant Koshu-woven fabric, so it can be used in both sunny and rainy weather. This umbrella is also a very popular gift item for men at a certain department store. Why not give it as a gift together with a folding case that fits the umbrella just right? We have introduced the benefits of men using parasols, points to consider when choosing one, and recommended parasols for men. Even if you have been reluctant to use a parasol until now, we encourage you to try using one from now on. Once you use it, you'll never want to let it go! |

Hello, I'm Sugawara, a designer at YOUTA. There are a lot of cool clothes for men, but not many bags. So we decided to make our own. With this frank idea in mind, we launched the men's bag brand "YOUTA" in 2006. Having worked in various apparel-related jobs such as clothes, watches, and shoes, I focused on synthetic leather. It is a lightweight and rain-resistant material, so unlike leather, it does not require maintenance. The reason we chose synthetic leather is that it is "vegan leather," a non-animal material that suits the modern era. We hope that you will enjoy a comfortable and enjoyable business life with our high-quality bags certified by Toyooka Bags and playful customizations. |
