  • Buy clothes that are classic, and clean-cut. Remember to make sure your clothes are always clean, and always match. Good fabrics are very important. Get rid of any polyester. Buy mostly 100%cotton, wool and cashmere. Wear preppy colors. Bright and happy, like green, pink, light blue, nautical red, white and navy blue and preppy patterns such as plaid, stripes, gingham, polka dots, argyle, floral, paisley, nova checks, and tartan.

    Here are some suggestions for that type of clothing:

    - Polo shirts

    - A jacket or blazer (navy blue is a staple; try seersucker or madras plaid in summer, tweed in winter)

    - Khaki pants. The prep equivalent to jeans

    - Skirts (khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, linen, preppy prints and patterns)

    - Tea dresses and summer dresses (in madras plaid, preppy colors, seersucker, or linen). A-line -dresses, halters, and flowy dresses are acceptable

    For accessories:

    - pearl earrings and necklaces

    - diamond jewellery

    - headbands (silk/satin scarf headbands or hard headbands with ribbon bows)

    - Small handbags in simple colors and patterns or large, monogrammed tote bags

    - ballet flats, Rainbow sandals, and simple leather high heels and wedges in shoes.

    - Tennis- and golf-inspired shirts, skirts, and dresses

    - light makeup

    - nails: clear coat or french manicure

    hope this helps! =)

  • To me a preppy seem is a greater classic variety and that i like that. type on no account is going out of want!! you will get preppy looks from any save purely by using the type you place component jointly. A uncomplicated of the preppy seem - dressy denims, chinos, crisp white gown shirt, narrow purple belt, pencil black skirt, purple extreme heels, skinny v-neck sweater to positioned on w/ a camisole.
