DJ Mia Moretti and electric violinist Caitlin Moe just shot a video in Central Park for this season's "must-have accessory." Nope, it's not a neon manicure or a pair of acid wash cutoffs—it's for a parasol. As in, umbrellas whose only function is to block out the sun. Why? Because the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is coming up, folks, and what better thing to bring with you than a custom Penelope Parasol for $198 $189, designed specifically for the occasion.

So, what kind of things can one (or two) do in Central Park with a parasol? Well for starters, you can drink a lot of Veuve Clicquot champagne and dress like you're in Downton Abbey while twirling them. And you can laugh, a lot, because if you don't someone else will.
