3 Ways To Weather April Showers In Style – Ageless Style

We have all heard the old adage, ” April Showers Bring May Flowers,” many times. And many years we just want to say, ” Rain, rain go away!” But nevertheless, we do want to enjoy the springtime in the rain or sunshine. So today, I am sharing my 3 ways to weather April Showers In Style as part of my monthly collaboration with my ageless girlfriends and our Ageless Style Linkup.

Inverted Umbrella For April Showers

While April showers may be falling all around, we can still have lovely May flowers overhead. I certainly do with the Purple Peony flowers inside my new inverted umbrella.

Inverted Umbrella with C-Shaped Handle
  • Because of the unique Double Layer and Reverse Opening and Folding design: You fold the top “wet” layer into the under “dry” layer when you step into your car or wherever. Ultimately, this prevents water from dripping, keeping floors and cars dry. 
  • The comfortable C-shaped hand Grip Design: You can cross the C-shaped handle over your arm, keeping your hands free for holding objects and being more mobile in the rain. 
  • The umbrella can stand up upright on its own when closed. This makes it so convenient for you to place anywhere.

I must say after using an inverted umbrella, I am totally spoiled and no longer want to use a traditional style umbrella.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea!

Now, are you looking for a unique and useable gift idea for Mother’s Day or an upcoming birthday as well as ways to weather April showers? Well here’s a great and affordable idea…the inverted umbrella!

Packable Waterproof Jacket

Now my second suggestion is a lightweight jacket. Back in 2018, my husband and I were fortunate to enjoy an Alaskan cruise. And one of the items that we were gifted as part of our trip, was this lightweight, packable, waterproof jacket.

It is perfect for weathering April showers. And so lightweight that I keep it folded and stored in my car’s console. I love the powder blue color. Of course, mine is from 2018, but I did a comparable one by the same brand, Northface.

The bonus is that it is available now. Note, this is so perfect for traveling. It folds so easily and fits easily into a backpack or car glove box.

Shoes For Walking In April Showers

Lastly, my number 3 in my ways to weather April showers in style is Jambu’s new Torino Mules. This chic slide-on mule is inspired by the classic look of a leather moccasin.  Plus, the durable, non-slip traction outsole of Torino Mule is perfect for walking on wet surfaces.

  1. Too funny; I’m pretty sure I styled that exact same comparison coat for my look today! I bought that lightweight rain jacket last summer in Maine and I honestly can’t believe it took me so many years to break down and buy a nice fitting raincoat! Your umbrella is beautiful.

  2. How fun! We are twinning today! I do love this lightweight jacket!

    Mine folds up nicely into the hood and I keep it in my car. Great for in a backpack when hiking!

    • Next time you are in doubt, Mireille, get the umbrella. Once I got this one, I no longer wanted the standard style. Especially went getting in and out of the car.
