<p>You would think that here in NYC we would have less of the American Eagle and Abercrombie wearing pseudo preps. For some reason these seem to reproduce faster than fruit flies.</p>
<p>Most of my clothes are from Guess, Armani Exchange, or Banana Republic. My kind are fading fast.</p>
<p>Westchester is preppy. Scarsdale and "Jappaqua" are not. Take a ride around Bronxville, Larchmont and Rye. Specifically, the Larchmont Yacht Club, Larchmont Shore Club, the American Yacht Club, Coveleigh Club, Westchester Country Club, Siwanoy Club, Bronxville Field Club etc. etc.</p>
<p>In my school there were 5 types of people. I will lisit the types from most common to least common.</p>
<p>1)100% Genuine Preppy-down to the madras jackets, the pastel polos, and the uggs and miniskirts. would fit in perfectly at the yacht or country club.
2)ambiguous-sometimes preppy, sometimes not
3)faux preppy-abercrombie, american eagle, gelled hair. very suburban public school.
4)metro/trendy-armani, prada, gucci, burberry, and other coture. very high maintainence. Mixes elements of preppy, but is fudamentally different.
5)Ghetto. A very small minority. Typified by riding bycicles with wheels waaay too small, sagging, brand names like Akademiks etc. everything is too big.</p>
<p>uggs and miniskirts? you are mistaen, my friend. that is most definitely TRENDY and not preppy.</p>
<p>no thats preppy, trust me. uggs, miniskirt, pastel lacoste with popped collar, and a vinyard vines ribbon belt and matching tote bag. and lets not forget the understated strand of pearls around the neck. perfectly prep. trust me- i went to prep school.</p>
<p>edit-if you take away the uggs, you can substitute them with flip flops, even when its cold. uggs can go on in relatively warm weather.</p>
<p>Trust me, I go to a prep school that would probably kill your school in a preppy fight. LOL. Maybe preppy people wore that outfit, but uggs and miniskirts, while a passing trend, were decided to be unbearably trashy later on in the year. But whatever, maybe it's different where you're from. ;)</p>
<p>hahaa i guess you are from nyc, but i will tell you this...my school was referred to in the preppy handbook as "so ridiculously prep it hurts" and "the preppiest of prep"</p>
<p>granted, however, that i dont keep very on top of girl's fashions. maybe the uggs and miniskirts have been deemed trashy and i just missed the memo. completely possible.</p>
<p>lol, well girls are very quick to pass that memo.</p>
<p>I'm from Fairfield County, but the entire county can not be catorgorized as preppy, Bridgeport is in Fairfield County and it is GHETTO. a lot of towns around the area are preppy wannabe and not true preppy.</p>
<p>There may be exceptions, but Fairfield is generally considered a paradigm of prep.</p>
