The Hamptons are trendy, external, and exhaustive striving; MV is classic, internal, relaxing, and knowing. Give me MV every time.

This was such a fascinating video and I loved how you broke down the psychology between the two locations!! I love the expression “Wealth is quiet, rich is loud, poor is flashy.” I couldn’t survive in the Hamptons….a stressful, shallow, social climbing jungle….no thank you!! But terms of style, I do love the freshness and the bright, happy colors, especially the dresses. (I think of Lily Pulitzer style!) But there’s simply nothing more timeless, classic and enduring than the Martha’s Vineyard “old money” style. That’s the genius of Ralph Lauren. He honed into this “aspirational” aesthetic from the beginning. He once said, “I don’t design clothes, I design dreams.” Thank you again for making such an insightful video on this topic!!! 👍💕💥💃🏼

Martha's Vineyard, thank you! I don't need to prove anything. I want to enjoy my friends and the atmosphere.

0 seconds ago<br>Thank you, Ralph Lauren. Much gratitude for your efforts in restoring our image to the world. Will be buying from your live on the regular. And yes I can afford it because I live within my means and don’t flex with the cars and houses. Quiet, simple, understated charm and elegance. I’d take a small beautifully restored designed cabin over a gauche/tacky McMansion anyday.

Love the Oak Bluff’s documentary and ad. But my style leans towards the Hamptons simply bc I love color.

The New England coast is pretty spectacular we have the islands Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod, Newport RI & Kennebunkport just to name a few. The Kennedys shown in this video were actually at their Hyannis MA home not Martha’s Vineyard

This was a fantastic breakdown and gave the differences between the aesthetics clearly and thoughtfully.
