 Spring has Arrival are You Ready?

Spring is my favorite part of the year. You can finally put away your wool and heavy clothes and break out your Seersucker. To be honest this blog is all about Seersucker. Seersucker is by far my favorite thing to wear. I am Southern and Seersucker is an essential part of a Southerners wardrobe. Now the question is what is Seersucker and when can you wear if?

Seersucker is the quintessential Southern spring and summer fashion. The word seersucker is derived the hindi, urdu and Persian words "shir o shakara"? Meaning "milk and sugar" referring to the alternating stripes woven into the fabric

Seersucker is the perfect thing to wear on a warm southern day. It has a unique and classic style and can be worn to many types of events. If you’re going to a summer or spring wedding wear a Seersucker suit. If you are going to a picnic wear, Seersucker pants or shorts. If you are going to a day party, wear a Seersucker suit,

People find it hard to wear seersucker because of the “pin stripes”. If you stick to some simple rules you cannot go wrong.

1.    Stick to solid spring colors when it comes to shirts. PLEASE STAY AWAY FOR PRINTS OR PLAID.

2.    The rule that white goes with everything applies to seersucker. You can never go wrong with wearing a white shirt.

3.    The proper shoes to wear are white nubucks. You can also get away with wearing saddle shoes.

4.    A nice 2 or 3 button suit always works. STAY AWAY FOR THE SUITS THAT 4 OR MORE BOTTONS (That is just a rule of mine with any suit).

5.    Make sure your suit fits you. The sleeves should not be too long and your pants should be on your waist. The length of your pants should hit your shoes just right.

6.     If you are going to wear a hat the proper hat to wear is the straw scala hat or straw boater hat.

7.    Just about any tie or bow tie goes with a seersucker suit as long as it does not clash with your shirt.

If you follow these rules, your Seersucker wear will be simple, but you still will be the best dress person in the building.

GET SUITED!!!!!!!
