The Basics

Preppy clothes are pieces that are classic, and clean-cut. They don't always have to be expensive, but they do need to be good quality. Don't be afraid to spend a little extra, because quality clothes are something that will last you a long time.

Colors are also super important and meant to be fun. Wearing clothes with solid colors helps keep your look clean and put together.

Preppy Colors are those that are bright and cheerful. Like pink, green, light blue, yellow, soft orange. They also include the nautical color pallet of red, white and navy.

Fabric is also important. Try wearing clothing that is khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, or linen.

Prepsters are not only known for their colors and but also their bold prints like plaids, patch work, anchors paisley, argyle, and floral.



What should be in the closet?


Here are a few of the classic, preppy pieces we like to wear.
-Polo shirts (popped collar optional)

-Oxford shirts

-Rugby shirt

-vests and sweaters

-A jacket or blazer

-Chino pants (be adventurous and try a wild pattern of repeating anchors, or whales)

-Khaki pants

-Bermuda shorts

-Skirts

-sun dress

**My little rule of thumb is to ask myself, would this be a cute outfit to wear if I were to go golfing.
