Ack! Fashion

There’s been a lot of noise recently about the resurgence of preppy style. It’s even taken off in the hip hop world, in a trend that started with pink-wearing rapper Cam’ron.

Let’s take it back to where this whole deal started: ACK, y’all. On Nantucket it’s always been cool to dress in eye-achingly bright colors and outrageous prints. Is it any coincidence that preppiness is now the nexus of insane black and white style?

And no, it’s not “plaid,” Wall Street Journal. It’s madras, yo.

Wouldn’t want to run into this gang on a dark cobblestone street. Especially after they’ve had a few Goombay smashes…
