<p>How do the high class kids fromt he east coast in the ivies dress?</p>

2

<p>J Crew and Ralph Lauren</p>

3

<p>like rich, white, entitled snobs.</p>

<p>just like the ones at your HS.</p>

4

<p>Abercrombie.</p>

5

<p>Not all rich people are snobs.</p>

<p>Just like not all poor people are trash.</p>

<p>Therefore, no need for stereotyping.</p>

<p>Btw, true-money kids don’t wear Abercrombie. It’s fake high school stuff.</p>

6

<p>i never said they were.</p>

<p>i said they dress like them</p>

7

<p>I despise Abercrombie.</p>

8

<p>Definitely not Abercrombie. That is relatively inexpensive compared to the stuff they wear. J.Crew, Lilly Pulitzer, Ralph Lauren, lots of designer shoes/handbags like Tori Burch (spelling might be wrong) and Longchamp. I should know considering my school is like the white rich kid capital of the world. Haha.</p>

9

<p>Jeans and t-shirts</p>

10

<p>i wouldn’t consider myself real wealthy, my parents r struggling too pay my tuition and i own something from all of the places mentioned except long champ, however my sister bought me stuff from ralph lauren she works there and got the discount i wore lily pulitzer the other day and i love jcrew</p>

11

<p>most people i know either are the j.crew type or the urban outfitters/anthropologie type. or jeans and t-shirts… $200 jeans and $40 t-shirts of course.</p>

12

<p>I wear Brooks Brothers and Jos A Bank. I grew up in a wealthy DC suburb, but I won’t be attending an Ivy</p>

13

<p>I wanted to get some stuff from Jos A Bank, but my dad said it was too old for me…</p>

<p>It’s a good store though.</p>

14

<p>^^ Get stuff from them now because I think they are going out of business. They’ve been having sales like every week for a while now. One of the sales was ridiculous: buy 1 suit get another free +2 ties and 2 dress shirts. Their clothes are great quality though. I recommend getting their merino wool sweater vest or french cuffed dress shirts</p>

15

<p>Oh I tried, but dad wouldn’t budge. I pointed out some crazy sales, and he just said too old. I would LOVE to get some suits from there, though.</p>

16

<p>Im not rich but i never understood the j.crew thing. i think their clothes are boring. i also think places like banana republic are dumb.</p>

<p>but anyway. who cares? u can look great without designer brands. only a really sad person will be able to tell your scarf is from target and not j.crew</p>

17

<p>If you want those suits from them so much, could I suggest…buying them yourself?</p>

18

<p>Is J. Crew even that expensive? I dunno…maybe cause I mainly shop at their outlet + the college discount…I bought a couple of their polos for about $13 each, shorts for about $10, jeans for like $20. I mean, I am sure places like Walmart might be cheaper, but I do not consider J. Crew overly expensive or anything…</p>

<p>Brooks Brothers on the other hand…uh, yeah…I’ll wait till I actually make some real money before I shop there.</p>

19

<p>^ if you go on the J Crew website, you’ll see that most tops/sweaters are $70-$150. I also shop at the outlet store, and with the college discount, it saves a lot of money (I just bought a blouse for $35 that was $88 online). Anyway i don’t shop there a lot, but the clothes are really good quality and hold up for years so I think they’re worth it. </p>

<p>It’s not like everyone at Ivies is wealthy, those schools give amazing financial aid. My friends at Ivies don’t dress any differently from me. At any college, you’ll see a variety of people with different tastes. I go to a pricy school and some people are into designer stuff, others dress in grungier clothes. If you are headed toward an Ivy in the fall, i wouldn’t worry about fashion…most students are smart and not going there to compare wardrobes…</p>

<p><em>edit</em></p>

<p>As for the “pretentious snobs” comment, I grew up in an affluent east cost town, and the kids I grew up with are a hundred times friendlier, classier, and more laid-back than most of the students i’ve met in college. But where the tuition is high, you’ll find lots of pretentious snobs. :)</p>

<p>Lynn is far from an Ivy, so that doesn’t help the OP.</p>

<p>Anyway, I know around 50 people at Penn, including my brother, who will be a freshman next year. Most of them wear just normal clothing. Nothing overly expensive. Maybe some J Crew and Banana Republic and whatnot, but not like entire wardrobes.</p>

<p>Thanks to those who stereotyped us ‘high class’ east coast kids as pretentious snobs.</p>
