With summer basically around the corner, we're taking our attention outside. Though there are a lot of must-haves when it comes to al fresco design, we're focused on the best patio umbrellas because, let's face it, no outdoor area is complete without one. Whether you're on the hunt for a wide-canopied umbrella from a fashion or function standpoint, we've got you quite literally covered.
Ahead, we rounded up the best patio umbrellas on the market that are as stylish as they are easy to use, so if you need an excuse to get started on your summery space, you've got one. From a wide, colorful umbrella that's pre-lit with microlights to a blue-and-white striped classic, there are plenty of solid picks on our well-curated list. There's even a budget-friendly pick and a more high-end one with plenty of attention to detail. Our personal favorite, though, may look familiar: It's a Serena & Lily find that recalls the striped masterpieces neatly arranged on The White Lotus's Italian beachfront. Sun Umbrella
No matter your style or budget, you'll definitely find something that suits your space ahead. Summer may still be a few weeks away, but getting your space up and running for the day temperatures soar into the 80s is never a bad idea.
