Best Answer

Seersucker is a thin, puckered, all-cotton fabric, usually striped or checkered. Because it's puckered, it gives it a slightly (purposefully) wrinkled appearance, which means that ironing it isn't necessary.

It's typically used to make spring or summer clothing, such as skirts, shorts, and dresses.

Absolutely. Provided that the seersucker creates an aesthetically pleasing combination with the linen. I would recommend standard seersucker (light blue and white) with a white or tan linen.

Can you wear a seersucker jacket with linen pants?

I really wouldn't. seersucker is surprisingly "dressy", especially in the south (except shorts). I wouldn't wear a seersucker jacket with anything except the accompanying pants. Yes, any summer weight pants work with seersucker such as linen, cotton or tropical weight wool. Only men over the age of 55+ wear the accompanying seersucker pants. A more youthful and modern approach is to wear different pants with the jacket. I am a NYC fashion Designer so you can trust my advice.
