It's seersucker season, baby! One of the best parts of the warm weather seasons are that we can indulge in the glorious, chic, beautiful garment known as a seersucker suit. It's perfect for a wedding, for a dinner, for a vacation. A yacht party, if you're so lucky as to attend one this summer. Any elevated event where you'd bring out your suit, really—seersucker is the way to go for spring and summer.

Defined by it's lightweight, puckered fabric (which allows for greater air circulation on your skin, therefore keeping you cool in warm weather) and commonly striped appearance, the seersucker suit is a staple that your closet needs. You can dress it down, with a graphic tee and white sneakers; you can dress it up, with a light button-down and some dress shoes.

The point is: The seersucker suit is a must-have, this summer. Trust me—if you forego buying one, you'll regret it when you're sweating buckets on your commute to the office in a regular suit, drenched by 9 AM. Buy one to your tastes, too, as they come in all sorts of colors and styles, from stripes to solids. A handful of the very best ones out there are right here for you.

Italian Seersucker Sutton Suit

This one is a classic, in a neutral, muted shade that goes with everything, and looks chic without trying. Versatile and clean, you can dress this up or down as you please.

Jetsetter Italian Seersucker Suit

Bonobos does a classic, striped seersucker to a T. With clean, crisp tailoring and double venting at the back of the jacket, this suit'll keep you looking—and feeling—cool all day.

Ludlow Slim-Fit Unstructured Suit Jacket

An unstructured jacket and pants that look just as good with the jacket as they do without makes for the ultimate seersucker suit. Wear the pieces individually, or together—you'll look chic either way.

Ludlow Slim-Fit Unstructured Suit Pant

With pleats and a slim fit, the matching pants are sure to keep you looking cool, too. Even paired with white sneakers and a tee, this is how to do summer in style.

Tailored Blazer

It's summer—don't be afraid to throw some color in your wardrobe! In a delicious forest green, Percival's tailored seersucker suit is a mix-and-match dream; wear the blazer with jeans, the pants with just a T-shirt, or both together.

Straight Leg Trousers

For the full suit look, though, be sure to snag the matching trousers.

Seersucker Two-Button Blazer

Orlebar Brown's classy seersucker suit is your go-to, especially if a navy suit is your choice of wear during cooler months, too. Even with just jeans, the blazer looks classy as hell.

Tapered Leg Seersucker Trousers

But for the full effect, these matching tapered trousers are a match made in heaven. Or at least, in Orlebar Brown's factory.

Kentucky Derby Seersucker Blazer

For true summer preppiness, Vineyard Vines has a seersucker suit just begging to be on a yacht.

Kentucky Derby Seersucker Pleated Pull-On Pants

And with an elastic waistband, these stretchy pull-on pants are a surefire way to beat the heat and still look good this summer.
