lacoste polos become my love

While my love for shopping is forever dragging me into all my favorite Edgartown women's stores like 20 Main, Katydid, and Rags, I decided that it was time to do some shopping for my brother's upcoming birthday. Over the years, I have come to realize that most men simply don't enjoy shopping for clothing - my brother included. So why not help them out?

Making shopping easy for men: Island Pursuit in Edgartown. Photo by Ralph Stewart I decided to pop into a few Edgartown stores in search of some items to dress up my brother's wardrobe. After finding a parking place -already a challenge - I stopped in at Chappy. I was immediately drawn to their assortment of men's Taylor Vintage Madras shorts ($98), which I think are a great way to compliment a basic polo. They also carry a wide variety of polos and oxfords from brands like Blegatchi, Quicksilver, and Project E.

A few feet away is Island Pursuit, with its similar styles in different brands. Although I went in to shop for my brother, after finding their Nove linen oxfords ($115) I couldn't help but think, Father's Day. These lightweight shirts are great for every day, or for an evening out. A little farther back in the store I found myself surrounded by Lacoste - everything from shorts to pants to polos. Stores like Island Pursuit and Chappy are great because they carry such a wide spectrum of styles to suit many different tastes.
