“The dress code. Well, we all like the dress code. You can wear whatever you want, unlike people in South Hampton. Except for some places in Edgartown, we don’t have to wear green pants. You don’t have to prove who you are on Martha’s Vineyard. That’s what clothes are all about, to prove who you are. Island people don’t have to dress like peacocks.”

   – Art Buchwald in Martha’s Vineyard Magazine, Issue number 16, Summer 1990.
