A beautiful island, which has retained its charm and character throughout the growth of its fame. The summer visitors who stay in "MV" may be in fact equally as wealthy as those staying in the flashy Hamptons, but despite popular belief the Vineyard does not have a hoity-toity feel, and residents and visitors alike are friendly and do not appear snobby. Another major difference between the Vineyard and some other wealthy beach towns is the type of people -- Martha's Vineyard is a summer getaway for old money, as opposed to the nouveau riche of The Hamptons. You'll also find that those who spend summers in MV tend to be democrats. After celebs such as Clinton and the Kenedys began vacationing on the Vineyard, the news of this charming island spread and yes, more and more tourists have arrived. However, they have managed to keep almost every chain hotel or restaurant off of the island, there are virtually zero traffic lights, and large advertising and signage is limited. The charm of Martha's Vineyard definitely remains.

a clothing line that takes the preppy cliche to another level. It's literally suggesting that your a preppy county yacht club kid. People only buy them when they go to college so that people think they have money. It's sending a wrong message and it's a way of bragging that you are rich or trying to show that your rich.
Person A:Oh your wearing a vineyard vine shirt? Let me guess, daddy Is a stock broker and mommy is an anesthesiologist?
Person B: nope dads a brain sergon and mom is a civil engineer. What about you? your wearing vineyard vine too what do your parents do?
Person A: well....... My mom is the CEO of Bear sterns and my dad is the wolf of wallstreet
Person A: your a lier, take off the vineyard vines. Your one of those kids who bought them to fit in while in college

A preppy brand of clothing started by two brothers (Shep and Ian). It has got a laid back, sort of relax and hang out in Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket sort of theme. It is growing in popularity and they even opened their flagship store in Edgartown (Martha's Vineyard) last year (July 2005). They make fun, comofortable clothing and accessories. It is sort of known as a "new preppy" style, and is very New England. They make a lot of nice ties, with fun, creative prints.
"Hey Ted, lets go buy a few ties at Murray's Toggery Shop"
"Ok, let me just grab my Vineyard Vines 'harbor vest,' its so comfortable."

Known for short as "MV", it is an island that is part of Massachusetts and is located off the coast of Cape Cod. It is the premier summer destination in all of New England, hands down. Unlike many other summer destinations, it provides a great variety of landscapes/locations. The up-island beaches of Aquinnah, Chilmark, West Tisbury, and Edgartown are the nicest ones on the island, and host the best bonfires around. The more "in-town" spots such as Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown are always booming with people in the summer, and are each great in their own unique way. Vineyard Haven is populated by many islanders, Oak Bluffs is the true "summer town", and Edgartown is the slighty fancier and more aristocratic of the three. Everyone has to experience this amazing place at least once in their lifetime, and when they do so, they should abide by these guidelines: Don't rent a moped, don't flaunt your tourist status, don't buy too much at the Black Dog (one t-shirt is ENOUGH), make sure to experience the whole island, try to avoid the cheesy tourbus, stay with somebody you know who is a regular there, and last but not least do everything in your power to come back again and again.
