Step Out in a Gentleman’s Uniform With an Umbrella and Trench

Once upon a fashion time, men walked around in swanky trench coats with pocket squares in their sport coats and tall umbrellas that doubled as walking sticks. Even if it wasn’t raining, umbrellas provided a finishing touch to a gentleman’s style, an accessory that said here’s a mature man who’s ready to protect and shield.

The art of carrying an umbrella is lost today but it is not forgotten. Revive this time-honored tradition by stepping out in a trench coat and umbrella, the gentleman’s uniform.

Always in Style

The man who carries a full-sized umbrella is the embodiment of a dapper don. They’re sturdy, blank and open up to an impressive canopy big enough to fit you and whoever you decide to shelter from the downpour. Stride through the concrete jungle with a classic wooden hook umbrella, green pants, black top and a single-breasted beige trench coat.

Glittering Skulls

Maybe you find a traditional curved wooden handle a little boring. Maybe your tastes are a bit more on the daring and tenacious side, and therefore you need an umbrella with a bit more swagger. That’s why we know you’ll be satisfied with an umbrella that has a glittering skull-shaped handle on the end. Or how about one in the shape of a claw, the better to make you look all the more fetching in a beltless trench with the collar popped up.

Sleek and Modern

Ok, so a full-sized umbrella may not be your cup of tea. If you have to carry a laptop or a briefcase everyday, we can see how an extra tall umbrella may get in the way, no matter how charming they are. Thankfully, modern ingenuity has come up with umbrellas that automatically extend to open and retract to close. Prepare for any weather with a collapsable umbrella hidden in your double-breasted trench.

It’s time to bring back the umbrella as the ultimate gentlemen’s accessory. Come rain or shine, no one will doubt you’re a true gentleman with your umbrella and trench.
