SADDLE UP SEERSUCKER:
The Kentucky Derby is one of those sports holidays where you know exactly what to expect: Seersucker! Only this year we mixing things up.Let's trade our Kentucky blue stripes for Cardinal red this season. This race's signature style is a sure fumble if you aren't careful. Full body stripes can't be for everyone but for those looking to get festive, consider breaking up the norm and investing in one-half of this gem. Unsure about what to coordinate with stripes? One could never misstep with florals; there's only one rule with prints - separate them with solids for a well-balanced style.
