Seersucker is and will probably always be a complete fashion gamble. For some reason, the fashionistas that be have deemed seersucker to be the next big thing. Seersucker pants, jackets, suits, shorts, underwear, socks and even jumpsuits are now falling prey to this vicious fabric.There’s apparently amazing properties that makes it breathable, light weight and comfortable. But the one property that at it’s core is it’s ability to render anyone to look like a knob jockey.
If you’ve been spared the horror of experiencing one of these garments, then consider yourself lucky. But if you must know, it’s that crinkly cotton fabric that has those crap litle stripes all over it. Please take a look at the examples here. Let’s just say that these 10x8s aren’t going into the front of these model’s portfolios.
To this onslaught I give you some simple steps to see if seersucker will make a sucker out of you. (Oh come on, it’s called seersucker for Christ’s sake.)
A. Try on a jacket and look at yourself in the mirror.
B. Let the fabric work it’s magic.
C. Give yourself a pat on the back for trying to make something that very few men can pull off.
D. Take off the jacket and thank the nice homeless person for his time.
It’s just one of those things that at best will make you look like a cock and at worst, will make people think you’re Colonel Sanders.
It’s got ‘flash in the pan’ written all over it.
