Ok so im NOT trying to start a north south discussion or get flamed or drama or anything like that I just have a genuinly honest questions of curiosity. Im from New England have lived here all my life and am very familiar with the Vineyard Vines brand from summers spent on Nantucket and the style of it is a look i have always associated with a classic New England "preppy" look. My question is when I see it refered to on GC its as a staple to southern fratty style and I even saw pics where a Florida school had a Vineyard Vines recruitment theme. So i guess my questions is what made a small brand from Martha's Vineyard become a huge staple and style symbol down south???
