Wearable Canopy Shade

Abstract

A wearable canopy shade is provided. The wearable canopy shade includes a canopy secured a frame, wherein the frame includes a bulbous first end and a narrower second end. The frame is movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the open position, the second end is perpendicular to the first end, such that the second end is configured to rest parallel to a back of a user wearing the shade and the first end rests above a head of the user, providing shade to a user positioned thereunder. The shade includes a strap that can secure the frame to the user. A cord is securable between the first end of the frame and the strap in order to prevent the rotation of the first end of the frame relative to the second end when the shade is in use.
