Polo by Ralph Lauren
Brooks Brothers
Lacoste
LL Bean
Orvis

No matter how you feel, all are legendary clothiers.

Vineyard Vines is legit, but pretty new to the game. Weren't they founded only like in the 90's? Sorry, they aren't legends yet

For females, Lily Pulitzer is SAF as well as Anthropologie, J Crew, Vera Bradley etc. BB even has a nice female line as well. Talbots and the like are for the milfs.

I personally mostly wear BB, Perlis, Burberry, VV, and Polo.

All of the Southern [insert name] are for try to hards and I'd be surprised if most of them are still around in 20 years.

*Perlis is a New Orleans legend. FAF here. When I wear on the east coast I'm asked about the lobster on my shirt.

I love how people always say this, as if people just ask about random shite on people's shirts in the first place. I get that it's a NOLA thing, but their clothes are shite.

Haha. Cause fishing isn't frat. I've got costas for fishing and most everyday wear. And wayfarers for anytime my shirt's tucked in.

Maybe in Louisiana Costa's are popular, but when I spent time in Athens and in South Carolina I didn't see too many up there. More Ray-Ban and Maui Jim.

In all honesty I've looked for sunglasses that were the same quality as costa, but not as trendy. Couldn't find any. They are definitely on the way out for frats, but they are still the best on the water. And when you're dad's got a boat to use the costa's, that's the most frat you can be

I guess you didn't look very hard. Costa is OK quality, but overpriced.

Their 580 lenses are legit. Aside from that, pretty substandard.

They are. So are similar offerings from Native, Smith, and MJ to name a few. Usually cheaper, too.

Did look and they are overpriced. But I got 580 glass jose wejebe's and their isn't anything that fits me better. Maui jim, wiley, just didn't appeal to me. Plus I knew someone who could get them at price so I only paid $150. Pretty dam good glasses for that price. That's not frat though, so I paid full price

Sarcasm is lost through the internet it seems. Went through the frat scene on a budget. I know how it works. I really did get my costas at cost and I do well for myself so paying full price wont kill me, but I cant pay retail for sunglasses.

$150 isn't cost...

Unless what I can get them at is way less than cost.
