Definition
The typical relief structure is usually created by differently tensioned warp threads or by special equipment. Seersucker is often made from cotton and often features stripes or checks.
In simple words
Because only parts of the fabric lie directly on the skin, seersucker looks summery and airy. The surface does not need to be ironed smooth and gives shirts, dresses, blazers or suits a relaxed elegance. However, very strong frizz can quickly have a recreational effect.
What to pay attention to
- Check whether the relief structure is permanent and uniform.
- Make sure that seams and pockets do not distort the waves.
- Combine the fabric with clear, smooth materials if you want more professionalism.
Common misconceptions
Seersucker is not just crumpled cotton. The plastic structure is intentional in terms of construction.
ESKYNA mnemonic
Seersucker brings air to the fabric and casualness to the line - without having to be unkempt.
