Seersucker is suitable on Easter Sunday and up to labor day throughout the South. I would probobly wait to wear white until Memorial Day.
And just to comment on "Soco's Guide to being a Southerner..." This guy sounds like a huge douchebag. Some things that I thought he should be shot for:
1.) Insisting upon wearing Oakleys with Croakies and that designer shades can be worn if not excessively. (Oakleys and Gucci sunglasses are for GDI's and guidos.)
2.) That a bowtie can be substituted for a long tie on "any" occassion.
3.) Birkenstocks should be worn as much as possible, even with shirt and tie. (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.)
4.) Dockers should be prevalent in your closet. (Sorry I don't wear pants you can buy at Target and Wal Mart.)
5.) You don't have to be good at golf, but you better know how to dress for it. (Not only does this sound extremely gay, it makes you look like a complete poser. Any true fratdaddy can hold his own on the golf course. Is it really that hard to dress for a round? Polo, khakis, shit its not rocket science.)

From Men.Style.Com "The online home of Details and GQ"
You should wear your seersucker when Memorial Day arrives or when you travel between 23.5 north latitude and 23.5 south latitude.
And from Soco's Guide to Being a Southerner, vol. 1
Seersucker: You don't wear white before Memorial Day, so you don't wear seersucker, either.
