The first family is off to Martha's Vineyard this weekend, so the Obamas are probably packing right now. Cape Cod and its surrounding islands (the Vineyard and Nantucket) have a very specific style sense, so here are a few classic Cape looks, as modeled by the Clintons, Kennedys, and Vineyard resident Carly Simon.

Flip through this 'look book' and tell us which styles are do's and which are don'ts.

Can we imagine anything more meaningless and shallow than this?

But it's what HuffPo considers NEWSWORTHY?

You are so shallow to be concerned.
Why not go to Med School and be of some help in the near future!

The era of celebrity fashion is dead..... nobody worships the fashionable or the privileged.

The country resents them... because we know better now how they got their loot.

Behind every fortune .... there are crimes.

You don't become a gazillionaire with hard work..... you steal and cheat.... that's not to be worshipped.

and trophy wives are out of style as well.

Bring in The Housewives Of Atlanta. They will blend in really really well in MV.

the pic of Jackie O with the striped shirt, red headscarf and big shades is iconic. i hope Mrs. O has a fashion moment like that while on her vacay in the vineyard.

Who cares? Due to the shrinking middle class I know I will retire with probably NO savings (I live paycheck to paycheck paying bills with nothing left over) and have to live off of cat food on inadequate social security. So a "weekend in Martha's Vineyard" for me may as well be a weekend on Mars, it ain't ever gonna happen, so I DON'T CARE what these priviledged rich people get to do.

None of the people shown are actually from Martha's Vineyard. Underneath the glitz and foolishness you portray is a solid, caring community of people, many whose families have lived on the island for up to 12 generations. Those are the real Vineyarders. Most of them wouldn't be caught dead in the clothes you show here.

The preppy sweater tied around the waste or the neck really cracks me up. I thought that was over about 1885.

These are old pics. Some of the people in them have already died.

Obamas wear and do what you want. Please don't conform to what others think, do your thing.

You know, rich people have their burdens, too.
