However much you like your wool flannel pants and cashmere sweaters, their time is done for now. But seersucker... well, seersucker’s moment is here, along with the clam baking, croquet playing and pony betting that goes along with it. Here’s how to do it.
Good news: you’ve been invited on your friend’s sailboat again. Bad news: he loves to enlist you in knot tying, rigging and other tasks ill-suited to wearing blazers. Enter this light seersucker shirt, in all kinds of plaids, checks and stripes. You’ll be feeling nautical in no time.
Blue and white. The standard. It’s served you well. But when the sun goes down, something a little darker—brooding, even—is in order. Like this Massachusetts-made, navy-on-navy seersucker blazer from Jack Spade. Great for your next julep-swilling evening on a rooftop.
Maybe you find yourself needing to pass for a member of the Southern landed gentry. Or maybe you are a member. Either way, a custom-made seersucker suit from one of 10 different Italian-milled fabrics is a nice place to start. They’ll even hand you a bourbon during your fitting.
Picture it: you’re at a Kentucky Derby party when someone leans over and asks, “Shall I turn on the hot tub?” Why, yes, yes they should. Especially since you’ve got these cotton-nylon, seersucker-stripe trunks to keep you in uniform even when wet.
You know this great little plot of parkland. You’ve got a blanket. And dammit, you’ve got the right pants, because the folks at Sherman Pickey work with this Pennsylvania clothier to get you just the right fit, weight and color seersucker you need. Now it’s a picnic.
