An umbrella with an oval or substantially oval canopy comprising a center pole (1), a plurality of short conventional main ribs (3), and a plurality of long main ribs (18). Each long main rib (18) consists of a proximal main rib (20), a distal main rib (22) slidably fitted to the proximal main rib (20) through a slide member (30), and upper and lower stops (31)(32) fixed thereon. When opened, the canopy automatically assumes an oval form or substantially oval form, and when closed, the distal ends of the main ribs automatically lie on the same plane.
