Seeing Seersucker

The cotton, striped, crinkly (ironing not required!) fabric often brings up visions of Southern gentlemen sitting on a veranda. But, seersucker has been picking up steam since last summer.

Although, men do need to be careful not to wear too much seersucker or risk looking like an overgrown frat boy. Guys should pick out one piece of seersucker clothing to wear at a time, and select neutral combos, like black/white or khaki/white.

Ladies, we have more options. For example, Diane von Furstenburg offers silken seersucker dresses. This is an unexpected twist to the traditional seersucker; it also dresses up a normally casual fabric.

Pair your seersucker with colorful, chunky sandals, like Boutique 9's Joanna orange raffia sandals or Report Signature's Masonic 2 coral platform sandals.

Ditch the pearls and wear updated seersucker this Labor Day.
