What are your opinions on madras, whether as a button-down shirt or shorts? Is it acceptably stylish summer wear or is wearing madras veering too much into the preppy territory?

I think a shirt, or shorts can look great in Summer but I would not go as far as wearing a madras sportcoat...I personally don't like the look.
I have yet to wear them out because it's been too cool here but I bought these shorts and they look great in person:

I will wear them with a solid polo shirt and boat shoes.

I love Madras shirts, it's like the summer equivalent of winter flannel plaids. Madras ties or pocket squares are also really great with a cotton or linen suit/sport coat, to casual it up a bit. The madras sport coat seems cool in theory but whenever I try one on it just looks too silly. If by some miracle I found one at a thrift store I'd pick one up but otherwise I have to pass.
This year I'm not much on patterned shorts and am keeping them mostly solid, but that's just personal preference. I think madras vs typical plaids is a step above.
