Now that summer is officially upon us, it's time to break out your seersucker suit.<\/p>\n
Seersucker is a thin, puckered, cotton, linen, or rayon fabric that is used to make clothing for the spring and summer. It is usually striped or checkered and woven in a way that the threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled look. The weaving also allows seersucker clothing to be looser fitting, which is why the fabric is such a popular choice for the warmer months. The most popular colors are white and blue, but seersucker is produced in a variety of colors. It is also easy to maintain since it doesn't require pressing.<\/p>\n
However, we're confident you aren't concerned with what seersucker is – you want to know how to wear a seersucker suit.<\/p>\n
As gentlemen we have to be wary of how we wear our seersucker because the fabric is colloquially accompanied by a sense of irony. As Damon Runyon stated, wearing seersucker caused "much confusion among his friends" as they couldn't decide if he was "broke or setting a new vogue."<\/p>\n
Once you've mastered the art of fashionably wearing a seersucker suit with sincerity, the right pair of shoes is the last piece of the puzzle.<\/p>\n
A seersucker suit is less formal than say, a tuxedo; therefore your choice of shoe should hew closely to this level of formality. The right pair of shoes can either lend a tad more class to your ensemble or give you a more relaxed summer look.<\/p>\n
Traditionally you want to opt for something with a more rounded toe. Fortunately, seersucker is a relatively versatile material and looks tasteful with shoes of nearly any color. However, for an outdoor wedding a pair of white or blue bucks is the perfect shoe. If you want to be a bit more understated you can also wear brown or black oxford shoes.<\/p>\n
Although seersucker is casual, stay away from sandals, boat shoes, and Birkenstocks. There is a fine line between looking relaxed and looking sloppy. Improper footwear can move the needle in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n
So to ensure that your ensemble remains sophisticated, we recommend you stick with bucks or oxfords and enjoy looking good from head to toe this summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
