About Southern Tide
Southern Tide leans into a coastal-preppy look — embroidered skipjack logos and lightweight performance fabrics built for humid Southern summers — that's made it a go-to for the country club and boat-shoe crowd. Polos, quarter-zips, and button-downs make up the bulk of the lineup, with a smaller accessories and fragrance selection rounding things out.
Fragrance purchases and sample-sale or clearance items don't qualify for the standard return window, which is easy to overlook if you're buying several things in one order during a big sale. The brand does extend its return deadline for holiday purchases into the new year, a nice cushion if you're buying gifts early. Preppy dressers and golf-and-boating types are the typical shoppers.
What they sell
- Embroidered polo shirts
- Quarter-zip pullovers and button-downs
- Coastal-print swim trunks
