Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Any time a lady carries a parasol as a sign of high class grace and femininity, and sometimes as a sign of demureness and innocence.
The parasol has been used in cultures all over the world for at least 2,000 years, from Egypt to Greece to China, before making its way to Europe and the United States in the 18th century. This trope basically kicked in during the 19th century, when it was almost always proper for a well-to-do lady to carry one to keep from getting sunburns on her delicate skin, whereas poor women had to grub in the fields. Now that having a suntan isn't seen as so gauche anymore, it's just symbolic of the lady having aforementioned traits. Plus, it just looks...well, pretty.
Bonus points if she is also wearing a white, lacy dress, and even more points if she is on an Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Of course this means the trope is prevalent in The Gay '90s, and Southern Belles. Also of course, this can set off Real Women Don't Wear Dresses.
It can overlap with Parasol Parachute, Parasol of Pain, Kicking Ass in All Her Finery.
Compare Umbrella of Togetherness, High Class Gloves, Princess Classic, Southern Belle, The Ingenue, Elegant Gothic Lolita.

Ranma ½: Played for laughs when an old, dying man starts to haunt Ranma's dreams, because "she" reminds him of his first love. In these recurring dreams, Ranma is dressed in girly clothes and sporting a parasol to further accent the femininity of the look. He has to use an equally feminine parasol later on, which only adds to his annoyance with the situation.

K has a Rare Male Example in Yashiro "Shiro" Isana, who is never seen without his pretty red parasol. Which he later on starts using as a variation of a Parasol of Pain in regards to channelling his power in it to block attacks - but ''only'' to block.

Selphy, an Eligible Bachelorette in Rune Factory Frontier has one of these when she's outside in the sun; she twirls it a lot, and since it's heavily hinted at that she's a Rebellious Princess this definitely counts.
Sofia of Rune Factory 3 carries a parasol, mostly for the shade it grants, as she admits it's made of silk and is useless in actual rain. (You can craft a duplicate of her umbrella as a fairly-powerful shield item).

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. When outlaw Tuco is Crossing the Desert on horseback he's not only wearing a sombrero, he puts up a pretty pink parasol as well. Blondie however is bareheaded and on foot, as Tuco wants him to die a slow death of heatstroke or thirst.

Master and Commander. When HMS Surprise stops off at a Brazilian port, the natives come out in longboats to trade with the sailors, including several women implied to be prostitutes. A rather pretty Brazilian twirling a parasol catches the captain's eye; he's clearly tempted, but as he's married Aubrey walks away instead (though he can't resist turning for one last look at her).

A male example (assuming the gender of this character is stated) is the Monster in the Darkness from The Order of the Stick, who is ordered to stay in the shadows until the right time to reveal him. When going outside, he has to stay in the shadows of a parasol, which is pretty, to show his gentle nature.

For the first few pages of the Rosario + Vampire manga's obligatory Beach Chapter, Mizore holds a parasol. Justified, in that it's blocking the hot sun from causing any damage to her. Although, she has no qualms about dropping the parasol and donning a stripy bikini later on.

In Mickey's Christmas Carol, Isabelle has a parasol that is purple, like the rest of her outfit.

In the 1999 miniseries adaptation Wives and Daughters, lots of ladies can be seen with a pretty parasol. It's especially noticeable with free-spirited Lady Harriet (emphasis on high class and beauty) and the heroine Molly Gibson (emphasis on gentle disposition and femininity).

Mio from Little Busters! always carries a lacy white parasol with her whenever she's outside. This emphasises her traditional, elegant beauty, as well as implying a great physical fragility. The fact that she's never seen in direct sunlight also hints at there being more to her than what people see on the surface, while her nickname 'no shadow' refers to the way she seems as though she doesn't belong to this world. The parasol is so integral to her character, in fact, that her default battle title is 'Parasol-holding Silent Beauty' and her credits sequences involves a stylised, slowly-spinning parasol. It's very important to her plotline - she carries the parasol to hide the fact that she literally no longer has a shadow.

Aw, look at Jessamine's parasol in The Infernal Devices! It's so pretty and pink and it even has flowers on it...and then she stabs and kills a minor "monster" to death with it.

The young ladies who perform the foot juggling act in Nouvelle Experience not only carry Chinese parasols, but use them as their primary props!

According to a note in Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Daniel had to use one when he went to the desert. He didn't want to, since he would invoke this trope.

Mary Poppins' standard umbrella doesn't qualify, but her parasol in the chalk painting sequence sure does - complete with lacy white dress.

Several of the Touhou girls can be seen with umbrellas, including Yukari Yakumo, Yuuka Kazami, Remilia Scarlet (who is a vampire, and uses it for sunlight protection), and Kogasa Tatara (the last one has it as a result of actually being an umbrella youkai).
The parasol is also a mark of power in Touhou. The "seemingly" weakest character of those mentioned is "only" the Final Boss of her game. Everyone else is either a Bonus Boss or stated to be the World's Strongest Youkai.
Should be mentioned that only Yukari and Remilia fit the trope exactly as "parasol as a symbol of high class and grace". Yuka is kind of messed up and in Kogasa's case, she IS the umbrella. An unused umbrella.
Yuuka might be a bit protective of her flowers, but when she goes Ax-Crazy she's very elegant about it. Flower-petal bullets, letting people watch her battles 'cause they are so beautiful etc etc.

Kaylee from Firefly carries a parasol when she is first introduced, to show that despite being a Wrench Wench, she still likes some pretty things (a trait we see more of in "Shindig").

One of Usagi's disguise dresses in Sailor Moon came with one of these. She was infiltrating a high class affair and the disguise wouldn't be complete without it.
