THE PREPPY EXAMPLE

A nice guide for those who like classic American and European clothes. The preppy style is with no doubt a timeless classic that always has to do something with old money universities, the sport of golf, sailing, polo and tennis.

im tryin to go preppy. but i dont know how to match the clothes up. the colors they wear doesn't go together. but they make it look good. how do i do that?

[preppychrisbou]

@turnerc04 Just wear them. As you noticed, preppies clothes don't have to match exactly but they are always cordinated. If the pieces you are wearing are classic and "preppy" then you shouldn't have trouble. One advice I'll give you specially if you are new to this is to look always natural. Avoid wearing a peacoat or wool jacket if you are in a tropical weather for example. Also Searching for advices in color matching is smart but don't take that too seriously, just so you can know the basics.

i wish all guys dressed this way so sexy

[rishima16]

i always thought that people who dressed this way were all rude and snobby, but looking at the comments on some of these videos im very happy to be proven wrong. :)

So this preppy fashion is suppose to be nice, good, sexy, awesome or classy only because is expensive? wearing pastel colors and apparel from the 40's or 50's looks so boring and stupid

[Ghostpanzers555]

Preppy is not a clothing style but more of a life-style.

[mau571]

Well, that's classy

[ryan88210]

@preppychrisbou another good way to imagine it is to think of the Hamptons or Nantucket. I'm sure you've seen movies where the characters are "vacationing/summering" in those places. A lot of the spring and summer color schemes are usually softer pastel colors. White is a very common color. Pretty much anything bright. Think of colors you would see on a beach ball and tone them down a notch or two.

NO NO NO NO Chuck Bass is NOT NOT NOT a preppy - he is the epitome of a gaudy arriviste!
