Planning to break up with a boyfriend but don’t want to do it just yet? Don’t worry, we won’t judge you. Start slow, get him a cheap but nice gift. That way, when you break up with him on the 27th, you’ve still got enough money to go out on New Year’s Eve.  From Calabrese. Oi Polloi has it.

Our affection for seersucker comes with one condition: we don’t want to look sloaney. So that means no matching seersucker with pink chinos and tassel loafers or any other neo prep outfit. We’d probably wear this with some olive chinos and sneakers, which wouldn’t impress the prep crowd. It’d look good though. (My Wardrobe)

French Trotters continue their foray into making their own clothes with this seersucker shirt. As you can probably tell, we’ve fallen for seersucker this season. We don’t know when it happened, we don’t know how. But it has and now we’re going all seersucker everything for spring, looking like we’ve stepped out of the steeziest prison in the world. (French Trotters)

We featured the seersucker trousers a couple of weeks back, so we felt it only natural to feature the jacket. Obviously you can do the seersucker suit thing, but we’d rather do the mix and match thing. You know, sprezzy and all that. You could wear it ivy style, but that’s not fashionable no more, you dig? It’s a shame that ‘timeless’ style lasts two years in the world of fashion style but it is what it is. (The Bureau)

We’ve been on the lookout for seersucker trousers lately. Don’t ask us why, we just have. So our sartorial spidey senses started tingling when we saw this pair from E.G. You can always trust Daiki the God (aka the DZA) to come up with one piece of clothing that’s more of a need than a want. Although everything can called a wardrobe essential these days – cargo pants being called an essential is a prime example of this epidemic – but this will be a good wardrobe builder. (The Bureau)

Check this great jacket from  Japan’s 45RPM – available in North America via their stores in NYC. The Indigo Seersucker Jacket (available with matching shorts or pants) is made with a thin lightweight yarn and is finished with “4 buttons along front, 3 buttons at cuff and pockets.” #iwant.

We did mention that B-Store’s SS09 collection was a great collection when it first appeared on catwalks, but now it’s starting to appear in stores we can specifically pick out the best pieces. These shorts are listed as simply striped shorts, but they look like seersucker shorts to us, so we’ll call it that. Like most B-store pieces, the devil’s in the details. The shorts are the perfect length – just above the knee, in case you didn’t know – and the fit is slim enough to suit most folks without being strictly for the emaciated. Get it from Farfetch.

If you’re one of the lucky few that’ll be going on holiday to a hot climate this summer, then shorts like these are a must. We should note that these are swimming trunks – we’re not advocating super short shorts – and they’d be a little obscene anywhere apart from beside a pool. Like most pieces this summer, they fit perfectly into the preppy look – but you could easily Patrik Ervell them out and add some modernity to your outfit. Get it from Luisviaroma.

W.A.T.M.’s Cator Sparks, delves deep into the world of seersucker in his column Sparking Interest. "Growing up in the South, donning a Seersucker suit between Memorial Day and Labor Day was as normal as church on Sundays. But up here in Yankee territory not many people seem to have gotten the memo that Seersucker = comfort and style on hot humid days in the concrete jungle."
