Are you trying to look like Dick Van Dyke in the sidewalk chalk dream sequence from Mary Poppins?
Having been back in the South over a year now, I have seen men pull off seersucker. It's generally the blue and white variety (pink/red and white makes me think of old timey ice cream vendors). You have to have a certain kind of personality to pull it off, and my impression of you is that while your personality is big enough, it's not quite the right flavor.
Also, one must either look Sharp in it, or semi-portly. You do not currently have the physique for Sharp. You are not a portly person, but seersucker would do that to you.
