A CLOSER LOOKSeersucker is a lightweight, breathable fabric that’s been a warm-weather staple since it was popularized on Ivy League campuses in the 1920s. Its unique puckered weave keeps it from clinging to the skin, making it an ideal choice for warm (and humid) weather. Fun fact: Seersucker gets its name from the Persian phrase shir-o-shakar (“milk and sugar”), which describes its alternating smooth and textured stripes.
