Hot to Trot
When is it appropriate to start wearing my Seersucker Suit?—Matthew, Albuquerque, AR
They say there’s a sucker born ever minute, but don’t be conned by pedantic sartorial regulations. The Memorial Day through Labor Day restriction is a bit stifling. Certainly today’s standards would allow for a fine seersucker ensemble on Derby Day. One would never be expected to sweat through My Old Kentucky Home in wool.
The true thermometer for appropriate dress is temperature; when things heat up feel free to rock the sucker.
