Seersucker: The essential summer fabric
How many of you are scratching your head while reading about seersucker? I can-see it now, no idea?
Seersucker is and will always be one of summer’s most essential fabrics. Versatile, light and known for its puckered texture. The puckered nature of seersucker is where the warp is deliberately shrunk, creating a surface that remains away from the skin and allows the air to flow. It has a slightly rumpled or worn look, and that is part of its glorious charm and coming in a variety of colours, blue and white is definitely the most popular.
Now you’ll find this breezy, light texture fabric popular on the shelves that leans more towards the Gen Z, and uses the voluminous quality of the fabric to its own advantage through boxy, baggy cuts, that’s the normcore minimal at the moment.
If you have travelled to Italy in warm weather, you will see that they are probably wearing seersucker shirts or even suits. And with other fabrics that are quite prone to creasing, the beauty of seersucker becomes a dream for those of you that hate a spot of ironing! This fabric springs back into life, even looking as good as new wherever it is thrown, that includes the shoddiest of packing. It’s the perfect vacay shirt guys!
