Though some choose to wait until Memorial Day to break out the Seersucker suits, we tend to use Easter Sunday as the official “first day of seersucker season.”  Well, we’re so excited for the day to arrive that we may or may not have been sprinkling hints of seersucker into our wardrobe over the last couple of weeks.  No, the suit has not made an appearance yet, but in less than a week it will be in heavy rotation.  In the meantime, we’ll just cheat a little bit with the Classic Blue Seersucker Necktie ($60) by Starboard Clothing Co.*

Made in the USA from classic blue and white seersucker, the Classic Blue Seersucker Necktie is the perfect way to slip a little seersucker into your look without breaking out the full suit.  Measuring in at 3 1/4″ at its widest point, this tie is slim, but far from skinny.  Whether you throw it on over a dress shirt and lightweight slacks, or an oxford paired with your favorite bright shorts for a more casual look, this tie will become your warm weather “go to” in no time flat.
