Nantucket Red


1. a particular shade of red, bright with a slightly faded look.
2. basically, it’s the waspiest color ever.
did you get the new j. crew catalogue? they have these really cute nantucket red khakis…
faded red color, a cross between red and pink, -ssociated with sailing shirts worn on the island of nantucket, ma. what happens when you leave a red clothing item lying out in the sun too long. not just for waspy millionaires anymore…any cape cod–ssociated subculture can wear it, albeit in slightly “different” ways.
i descended on cape cod in a gauzy nantucket red and black leopard print top, ready to raise some h-ll and to flirt with the hot goths.
i left a red t-shirt in the sun too long, and now it’s a lovely faded nantucket red.
an essential part of the douchebag uniform.- pair with it what you will – popped collar polo shirts or dave matthews band t-shirts; smathers & branson belt or no belt at all; loafers, deck shoes, or flip flops; any baseball cap worn by a person over 17 — it is the one constant, unifying thread, an unflagging sign of -sshattery. can also be referred to in an homage to a bard whose name is long forgotten as “d-ck-suck-it reds.”

– note: like the jeep cherokee, it is acceptable for women and adolescents to own nantucket reds; it is only a sign of douchebaggery in adult males. however, even women and children should only wear them after careful consideration.
hitler: let’s have the waffen ss wear nantucket red pants for their uniform! that would look snappy!

mr hugo boss: mein fuhrer, while that clearly conveys an -sshole vibe, it is hardly intimidating. i recommend sticking with grey, black or olive.

hitler: ja, you’re right. can i still use it for the draperies in my bunker?
