3. Seersucker Ties

Or just seersucker accessories in general, really. They are awesome. I have a handful of seersucker ties in a variety of subtle striped colours that are ideal for the warmest of weather, especially when a tie is still a necessity ? job interviews, weddings, funerals and the like. Due to the fabric’s lightweight quality, you’ll barely know that you’ve got it knotted round your neck. Seersucker pocket squares are another great addition to your wardrobe. They add a nice touch of texture to any tailored look, and reinforce the lightweight, seasonally appropriate aesthetic you should all be coming round to by now.

Final Word

So there you have it, a few reasons to consider purchasing more seersucker items this season, and how to wear them when you do. Of course, it does have its cons ? it can be a bold statement; some won’t like the wrinkles; seersucker pieces can be hard to find – but the trade-off for being sweat-free and comfortable in your clothes when it’s hot outside is a small price to pay, if you ask me. Next time ? madras… I promise. Madras and tropical wools, I swear. Matt Allinson
