Seriously Seersucker

Seriously Seersucker

So what is a Seersucker Party?

What beyond the obvious of pulling out your seersucker to swank around? Like New Orleans, where seersucker suits, cocktails and seersucker parties were all first invented, it’s an occasion to have fun — music, dance, food, cocktails.

For some, it’s an opportunity to wear beloved seersucker one more time this season. For others, it’s an excuse to finally fill in that missing gap in your wardrobe — to be daring and Southern, no matter whence you hail.

Kentucky may have invented bourbon, and Tennessee perfected whiskey, but New Orleans gave us the cocktail. The only rule is that you wear seersucker. Show us what seersucker means to you.

Seriously, step up and step out. Be daring and Southern.
