Part two of my seersucker week showcases an unusual color seersucker suit, bright lime green. On a rainy day nothing can cheer you up quite like a colorful suit.
This extremely fun suit was picked up at a black men's clothing store called GQ Menswear for $100. An upscale white men's clothing store right across the parking lot was selling the exact same exact jacket for $325. This just goes to show you that it pays to shop around and to never judge a book by its cover.
I really like pairing green with pink, so I went with pink accoutrements today. The plaid Carrot and Gibbs bow tie came from Peter Blair's menswear store in Richmond on 50% sale for $27.50. I bought the white Brooks brothers bucks from the salvation army for $5 close to 10 years ago and have enjoyed them ever since. I got the pink laces for free from Cole Haan, by emailing them and saying that I lost the pair that came with my shoes. Just for good measure I put a pink band on my watch for a little added panache.
Overall, I think that this outfit is honestly a bit loud and overly colorful but it fits well enough to still look elegant and professional. I will tell you one thing, people love it!
