Just as that makes us boring old men up north, it makes you a douche down south.

I love how you had to assert your southerness with starting out with "Yall".
By the way if you are in a Northern bar and wear that, you are a douche either way. (I hope no one in this conversation wears that.)
I will give you the croakies, but just remember that we hardly get enough sun here to make it worth it. The only places where it works is when you are out boating on Lake Mich. or on the beach. It is not everyday wear here.
You will not stick out here wearing top-siders and a brooks brothers shirt at all! Loafers are pretty standard attire where I go to school and guys wear a lot of collars. Polo and Ralph Lauren are more popular as shirts of choice.
PFG depends on what you wear......just like it does anywhere you go.
I think that if you have actually spent time in more than just your region on the US, you would see that it is true. I have family who are professors in EVERY region of the US and when we go to visit them, we go to the university. It is not the fashions that will distinguish you by regions, its your accents and ideals. I admit that I have different ideals than someone from NYC and a much different accent. If I went there or they came here, they wouldn't really look out of place and visa versa.
No area is defined by one state and no person is either!
