Nantucket - What not to wear

Seriously Girls. Give some thought to your footware before you hit the streets of downtown Nantucket referred to as ';town';. Some savage beast paved the street with cobblestones (big rocks) back in the day and ouch are they painfull to walk over. These are basically round rocks set in sand. Picture yourself all dressed up and then strolling through a field of small boulders in stilletos or kitten heels. I watched many a painful trip down Main Street Saturday night. Many ladies just took off their shoes and went barefoot rather risks a broken heel or twisted ankles on these little monsters. Wear wedges, flats or flip flops. The rest of Nantucket is heel-friendly, just not anywhere in ';town';.

Guys need to go to Murrays and pick up lobster or whale shorts immediately upon arriving.

Nantucket - What not to wear

Don%26#39;t wear anything that isn%26#39;t navy or wine or tan... Seriously, a friend took his tie-dye tee shirts, and felt like a sore thumb in them! ;-) I%26#39;d say people%26#39;s wardrobes were the most conservative I%26#39;ve ever seen, which was actually kind of refreshing. No baggy shorts, no vulgar tee-shirts ... very classy, and fine with me! :-)

Hit *reply* too soon! leafpeeper98 is so right about the shoes. Wear your walking shoes or you%26#39;ll have some stubbed toes. And wear whatever else you want ... above, I was just pointing out/joking about what everybody else was wearing, not what YOU should wear. I%26#39;m sure they%26#39;ll love your money, however you%26#39;re attired!

And even if you aren%26#39;t on the cobblestone streets, the brick sidewalks are very uneven. Bring comfortable walking shoes.

Anything preppy fits in. :)

Preppy pink and green are big. Vineyard Vines clothing big. Flip-flops big, no matter where you%26#39;re walking. Anything black in color is out - it%26#39;s considered ';city';, and only worn, if at all, at night. And when you get to the Toggery (Murrays), the whale stuff is all well and good, but be sure to get the ';reds'; first.

Hint - if Murrays%26#39; warehouse is open, the women may find some good bargains at a hugely discounted price. The men%26#39;s stuff sells too well for it to wind up in the warehouse, but the women%26#39;s stuff is great...

For Men:if you are so rich you don%26#39;t care what people think of your attire.....go get yourself a pair of ';Nantucket Reds';(slacks)! and wear them everywhere.....day and night.

ps.Men and women: you can wear what ever you heart desires....there are no fashion police and those people in town with the Lily Pulitzer look are not going to be inviting you out to the mega mansion for some champagne based on your clothes!

pps.Women: wear those stilettos, you can always replace them.

But if you%26#39;re going to wear Nantucket Reds, order them now from Murray%26#39;s (www.nantucketreds.com) and wash them about 20 times (separately - they%26#39;ll turn the rest of the wash load pink). You ain%26#39;t Nantucket unless your reds are well-faded! :-)

Broken stillettos you can replace quickly, broken ankles, not so easy.

based on my observation: some don%26#39;t own any slacks other than Nantucket reds! Someone please tell me why anyone would own a pair of pants that dyes the rest of your clothes pink.....oh I forgot, that%26#39;s the housekeepers problem!

You mean I am the only person who sorts my laundry by red, white and blue?
