i'm oblivious... white pants before memorial day?

3/28/2008 9:00:02 AM

^me too

3/28/2008 9:39:51 AM

seersucker

3/28/2008 9:43:18 AM

i think it has to do with the snow video? either way it's real fucking gay and stupid and dumb and terrible and worthless.

3/28/2008 9:46:50 AM

what hes saying is that clothing isn't acceptable at this time of year. seersucker shouldn't really be worn quite yet, and madras should be saved for later as well. hence the "its march" aspect. this stuff typically should be held off until after memorial day as well, but is fine as early as late april due to things like carolina cup, foxfield, the derby, etc....

thats the point he was making.

he addressed kanye cause hes the only other black man- as far as i know- that dawns such apparel

3/28/2008 9:50:09 AM

either way it's real fucking gay and stupid and dumb and terrible and worthless.

3/28/2008 9:52:03 AM

^^ Thankee for the explanation, cause I did not get it

By the by, it's dons, not dawns

3/28/2008 9:54:26 AM

also it was only ~55-60 degrees out

3/28/2008 10:03:36 AM

my friends wedding is on the 26th of april, and i'm contemplating whether i should don my seersucker or not.

its cutting it so close.

3/28/2008 11:03:33 AM

its not, really.

its almost a month out from reasonable seersucker season

is your friend's wedding at the beach?

otherwise you'll look dumb

3/28/2008 11:11:00 AM

actually no, but its at an old country club, and this is an old money girl and in large part a UVA fraternity and sorority crowd

3/28/2008 11:12:19 AM

you'll look even dumber.

3/28/2008 11:13:03 AM

Agent 0 is the authority on this stuff. it is indeed too early right now for that sort of garb...

i have a wedding to attend in Houston on April 20th. its generally humid down there and should be close to 80 degrees, so i'm going to jump the gun on the Memorial Day rule for that occasion.

no one adheres to these dumbass rules anymore. i mean don't wear seersucker in march, but i'm sure april 26th would be ok.

i wore a white skirt around to do errands today motherfuckers. take that, outdated southern fashion rule.

3/28/2008 1:01:59 PM

cocksuckers

3/28/2008 1:03:45 PM

yeah but seersucker in 50 degree weather is just dumb


for breezyball reasons

3/28/2008 1:03:57 PM

yes. but i'm assuming that places below Delaware will be warm on april 26th. when is it warm enough to wear seersucker in delaware...like july

AND i just remembered i wore a seersucker dress last night out. but it was not the blue and white striped seersucker. it was black, just seersucker material. jcrew sells them year-round. gasp....what a fashion faux pas.

entirely different from a wedding or other formal occasion

3/28/2008 1:05:18 PM

the practical reason for wearing seersucker has much more to do with humidity than heat

3/28/2008 1:06:06 PM

yea it is. but its something my mother still comments on. and i don't think the man in the pants was going to a wedding or formal occasion. but we still didn't like his choice of style.

3/28/2008 1:07:23 PM

do you want to go do some errands with me?

i'll wear a bow tie

3/28/2008 1:08:11 PM

i know

we're disapproving of you as well...

3/28/2008 1:08:21 PM

ooooh i'm so shameful i wore white before memorial day. ahhhhh. the world just came to a screeching halt, i know.

3/28/2008 1:12:18 PM

3/28/2008 1:14:47 PM

all these asian and indian folk were wearing sweaters and jackets on the bus today


fuck


and one white kid yesterday was wearing a big as jacket and i was fine with a tshirt

3/28/2008 1:15:34 PM

sup girl, I got some croakies

and sperries too

3/28/2008 1:15:44 PM

old men at my church wore seersucker on easter sunday. and my church is probably about as ITB old money as you can get in raleigh. so, i think the "rule" is a lot looser than it used to be.

its a full seersucker suit, so really in situations like that it isn't about the humidity- albeit that was its initial purpose- as much as it is just fashion. a seersucker suit will be entirely appropriate and if its in the 80's i'll definitely rock it, especially since foxfield is right around then

3/28/2008 1:45:50 PM

im embarrassed for you

3/28/2008 1:57:45 PM

i'm also embarrassed for you. because i care so much about the appearance of others.

"Seersucker is still widely worn in the South between Easter weekend and Labor Day, where it is often accompanied by a bow tie. Easter can come too early to wear seersucker since Confederate Memorial Day (The 4th Monday in April) is considered the actual appropriate time for this style of dress. When worn in the North, typically the last Monday of May is considered the beginning of the appropriate time for the region. It is widely considered a fashion faux pas to wear seersucker at the wrong time of the year."

I've never heard about this. You wacky Rebs.

3/28/2008 8:05:42 PM

you have to wear a tie?

3/28/2008 8:22:48 PM

i guess no one has ever said specifically that it is mandatory. but i do as the romans!

3/28/2008 8:37:36 PM

my gosh who cares what time of year someone wears an article of clothing

then again i wear jeans year round, the only thing that changes is the amount of layers on my upper body
