Re: If The Style Was A Building:
For Ivy, I think I prefer formal, classy, but not overwhelming in its ornateness or size. Something that signals taste and style without also positively stating "and I am also very rich"...which I think would necessitate more English/Saville Row rather than American tailoring. It certainly seems to do so today. In other words: comfortable without being extraordinarily rich.
Like one of the brick colonials or smaller (2,500<x<5,000 sq ft) tudors one finds in 1910s-1930s suburbs like New Rochelle, N.Y., West Hartford, Conn., or Newton, Mass.
