The 12 Best Seersucker Suits for Dressing up in Warm Weather
Beat the heat with breezy fabric, Southern charm, and timeless style.
WHEN THE heat rises, the search for a comfortable yet stylish suit becomes a top priority—how does a gentleman such as yourself dress to the tee when the air around you is boiling? The solution is simple enough: seersucker suits, the crisp summer suit style that beats the heat with a bit of Southern magnetism.
Seersucker is no ordinary fabric: lightweight, thin, and breathable—thanks to its uneven, puckered texture that facilitates ventilation—it's one of the best fabrics to keep you cool and dry on dog days. The fresh material was first made into suits by New Orleans designer Joseph Haspel in 1909, and since, the seersucker suit has taken over the world of warm weather formal wear by storm. Whether it’s for your summer wedding attire or polo race fits, the best seersucker suits can dapper you up in their timeless charm while keeping you sweat-free and feeling fresh.

What Is a Seersucker Suit and Why Is It Good for Summer?
Seersucker is a specific type of cloth weaved to be lightweight, thin, and breathable. The weaving process is slow but also gives the fabric an uneven puckered or crinkled texture that’s the signature indicator of the seersucker. A seersucker suit is ideal for hot weather because the loose weave actually creates space between the suit’s fabric and the body, thus allowing for more airflow to keep you dry and cool.
What to Look for in Seersucker Suits?
Fit: Since seersucker suits rely on the distance created between the fabric and your body to ventilate, your seersucker suit jacket or pant should not fit you too tight, which is why a classic fit is always the go-to. But many brands today now make seersucker suits in slim, tailored, and athletic fits that look more elevated without hugging you too tight, thus still letting you breathe.
Color: Seersucker suits can come in any color, and often exist in striped or pinstripe patterns, and sometimes checkered. But as casual suits, they look and work the best when they’re in tones that are more easygoing: such as beige, khaki, light blue, and light grey. However, if you’ve got lots of formal meetings to attend in the summer, it’s not a bad idea to get a seersucker suit in dressy hues like black, navy, and dark gray.
