ALL IN THE DETAILS: Summer Seersucker

During the hot summer months, it’s difficult to put together more formal looks without looking and feeling stuffy. Dress pants and suit jackets feel out of place in July and August. Lightweight seersucker pieces are a great solution to this problem. The material and the print embody the easiness of summer. Best of all, both Fashionistas and Fashionistos can incorporate seersucker into their summer wardrobes.

For example, this Fashionisto creates his summer look with a pair of blue and white seersucker pants, a pale pink button-down and a pair of brown dress shoes. He adds a pair of sunglasses for an added cool factor. Sticking with pastel colors makes this look put together and not cluttered. This Fashionisto’s look is great for summer’s more formal events, like graduation parties. Seersucker shorts are also a great option for a breezy summer look for more casual events.

Fear not Fashionistas. You can also incorporate this trend into your closets in a variety of ways. Try pants or a pencil skirt for an internship appropriate look. Go for shorts, a T-shirt and Converse for a night out with friends. Throw on a cute seersucker sundress and wedges for your next brunch outing.

How To: The key to creating your summer seersucker look lies in choosing just one patterned piece for your outfit and sticking to an understated pastel color scheme. Fashionistos, try seersucker pants paired with a light-colored button-down. Fashionistas, a cute pair of seersucker shorts and a pastel T-shirt is the recipe for a cute summer look!
