Seersucker Before Easter? The Rules Behind Southern Fabric

This weekend you might be tempted to pull out your special striped blazer, but wait just a minute before you do. Apparently, there’s a general rule that you’re not supposed to wear seersucker – the puckered cotton suits – before the Easter holiday. 

“The conventional thinking is, yes, Easter Sunday would be the first acceptable time to don your white linen and/or seersucker, and it should not be done before then,” said Ashton Greene, a salesman at H. Stockon, a traditional clothing store in the Atlanta area.
