When I'm In The Mood...
... I can tilt toward the slightly preppier end of the spectrum - not full-on like the Mayor in 'Jaws' but responding to that 'pastel shade' vibe that I guess is still encountered in certain parts of the USA: not GTH but - I believe - quite distinctively American, like tourists dismounting from a coach near Trafalgar Square... Pink and lime green Argyle patterns... If I can sport a Corbin Madras jacket, why not?

Re: When I'm In The Mood...
I see the GTH, Nantucket reds, patch madras kind of stuff a lot in Florida.
There's a number of Southern prep brands that are popular with the younger crowd - Southern Tide, Vineyard Vines, Lily P (for women) and a bit of Tommy Bahama.Add in J Crew although not Southern based.
It's obviously not the collegiate 60's style Ivy more an evolution of a preppy look with updated fits.
It looks good in sunny climes and has a relaxed vibe about it but sadly I don't think it would look as good in Birmingham.

Kiel James Patrick's another one of those lifestyle preppy brands.

This kind of cotton sweater etc. look is for mooching around in the garden, watching the birds, bees and butterflies. Maybe a quick trip out to buy croissants and orange juice. But it's really no different to the polo shirt and seersucker shorts look I was sporting a dozen or so years ago.

RG,
Yes forgot about KJP. Fits in with that group.If you go further up the Eastern seaboard you can chuck in Rowing Blazers too.
Although it's less VV frat boy and more a modern version of Prep.
I hate these titles but I guess it illustrates the subtle differences that are around.

Re: When I'm In The Mood...
I dabbled in Preppier clothing around fifteen years ago, whilst buying Vera Bradley bags for my wife and elder daughter. Vineyard Vines, J.Crew - awful. But buying Scottish-made doesn't seem so bad.
