Seersucker is a type of fabric with a distinctive crinkled surfaced. It is often used on lightweight, summer clothing.
Appearance
Seersucker is made from thin, light fabric, usually rayon or cotton. In addition to its distinctive crinkled surface, it also usually comes in a striped pattern.
Cooling Properties
Seersucker is a good pick for summer clothing because its puckered fabric is light and holds itself away from the skin. This provides good circulation between your skin and the fabric.
Men's Clothing
Seersucker is a popular option for men's suits. It is also often seen in shirts, shorts and pants.
Women's Clothing
Seersucker is a popular option for shirting, suiting and summer sundresses for women.
