Pass... Seersucker should only be worn if you're white and live in the Southern U.S. The pattern doesn't compliment darker complected skin IMO.
 
Yeah I could do the suit in the summer time.

Not the shoes though.

I'd have some clean loafers no socks
 
i think of two things when i see them suits

Yeah MJ, looks like he has one some ole Stacy Adams shit. The sad part about it is that suit is probably bespoke and cost a few racks. Anyway, I used to think the same thing about seersucker suits (that it was a particular style,) however, seersucker is actually the fabric from which the suit is made.

(Sadly, the jacket above is from last year. But here's one to buy right now. And here's another.)

All About Seersucker, the Coolest Cloth

The Name:

The fabric hails from India, where it was known as shir-o-shakar, which in Persian means "milk and sugar" and probably represented the contrasting textures of the fabric: milk for the smooth and sugar for the crinkle. The term evolved in the 18th century to become sea sucker, and later seersucker.

How and Why It Works:

The fabric is usually 100 percent cotton, and its smooth-and-crinkled striped texture is achieved through a slack-weaving technique in which the alternating tightness and slack of the weaves creates both flat and puckered stripes. Because of the texture, the fabric is mostly held away from the skin, which helps improve air circulation and heat dissipation. It moves, breathes, and wears wrinkles well. Mostly because it starts off wrinkled.

How to Buy It:

Though traditionally blue-and-white-striped, seersucker comes in many different varieties: brown on white, gray on white, even white on white. We would, however, recommend against red on white, unless you want people to walk up to you and demand a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Also, when buying a light fabric like seersucker, make sure the hem of the trousers is reinforced with heavier fabric to maintain the shape of the leg and protect the fragile material.

How to Wear It:

You'll presumably wear a collared shirt with your seersucker suit. Make sure it is crisp and white.

Oh, and Socks:

With seersucker, match to either stripe. If your suit is beige or cream, beige socks would work, but if it's blue and bright white, beige or cream socks could just look plain dirty. Have you considered the other summer option — no socks at all?

That shit is for suckers, exclusively.

How old are you bruh, what kind of neighborhood do you live in, and when was the last time you wore a suit? The reason why I ask is that there not only comes a time in a man's life when he not only have to start dressing like a man, but he has to know HOW to dress like a man. Unfortunately, due to growing up in single parent households, (ran by females,) the intricacies of knowing how to buy a suit and how it's suppose to fit missed us.

I used to do background (extra work on movies,) and this dude prided himself on wearing suits, however, he neglected to take the label off of the sleeves. A lot of dudes will buy suits off-of-the-rack, but neglect have have them altered as to prevent it looking like that their wearing a fucking Hefty bag. You say only suckers would wear a seersucker suit, but by you saying that one can immediately make conclusions about your socioeconomic and education levels, and that isn't good potna. The cold irony is that you would spend $250 on some J's, but wouldn't even consider spending some change on some decent dress clothes.
