The cut of the shirt collar and tattersall pattern of are English country gentleman rather than Ivy League, as is the combination of that shade of blue sweater with a brown check jacket.
I would also add that an Ivy Leaguer would have insisted on a perfect dimple on the necktie.
Hate the v-neck sweater--an item that should be purged from every closet. There's no purpose to it except to show that you're a big boy who's wearing a tie.
I disagree with Chris about the V-neck sweater. It was once a sports garment, and the purpose is not to show the tie, but to allow the top button to be unbuttoned (cooling the neck) during sports.

Anon @14:36 ~ It's a rare Codstooth pattern woven by nubile raven-haired Scottish waifs and infused with essence of Hottie.

Admiral, trad; but somehow has an edge. Fitting.
