<p>I wear a polo over a plain, white t shirt lol. All people can see (of the t shirt) is like.. a little bit of my upper chest.</p>
<p>Is that what she's talking about?</p>
<p>who knows? and yeah, some ppl do that, but i think in a different way from rather what she was talking about. i never put on double polos because i just think that's a bit too preppy, and i don't think i really deserve to dress that preppy. as real preps explain, preppy is not just a clothing style, its a life style. (country club memberships, knowing how to sail, golf, etc, and summering in places like nantucket)</p>
<p>Id rather save up and spend $50 on a fitted polo for Ralph Lauren then a $25 one from Hollister</p>
<p>A&F, Hollister, AE = not real preppy</p>
<p>I love it how every single dude in my school dresses the same and wonders why I treat them like a tool</p>
<p>I'm broke...but I try to dress preppy. I usually wear a pair of jeans...and a polo shirt or button down shirt to school everyday...but sometimes I get tired of it...or don't do my laundry...and I just wear a t-shirt.</p>
<p>I hate preppy guys. Girls, I don't care as long as they're hot. But, guys, come on. I respect the biilabong skater/surfer guys, and the more hip-hop guys, but preppy guys---says I'm a rich a-hole to me. But maybe that's because no guys dress like that around here.</p>

<p>HarlemNY...of course no one dresses preppy where you're from...Harlem = hip hop land</p>
<p>haha that's what I was going to say.</p>
<p>Someone just told me my music was preppy...</p>
<p>They're like, "What are you listening to?" I'm like, "Jack Johnson and Bob Dylan." and they're like, "MAJOR PREP." I didn't even know this guy. He was someone from the UK.</p>
<p>Eww did you meet them in a chat room. That is inappropriate!</p>
<p>lacoste=my thing always when im at the local mall im like Mom Im going to lacoste(This mall=expensive G&B Prada Gucci lots of stuff only few cheap stores) and i always get my way(lucky for them we dont go to That mall to often we go to another one) but my dad loves me...he pays 20k+ for my education and will probably be paying more for me next yr all b/c he thinks i would be better set off at a private school w/ my adhd. i usually have other school shirts(school uniform is chinos and polos in certain colors)</p>
<p>I've seen some quasi-preps work a little Carhartt into their wardrobes. Would that be fashionable or just ironic?</p>
<p>Carhartt as in like those farm jackets? </p>

<p>Umm...no. He just added me on MSN.</p>
<p>my uniform is chinos and colored polos too. Most of the people at my schools get the chinos at American Eagle.</p>
<p>for girls, the best chinos are the 5" ones from j. crew.
so comfortable and really cute.
they also look good with ralph lauren polos and lacoste.</p>
<p>another brand people dont look at is lilly pulitzer.
-most comfortable polos
-best cashmere
-cutest dresses</p>

<p>lol chinos</p>
<p>Some more REAL preppy brands include:
Eliza B, Vera Bradley, Stephen Bonanno, and Sperry Topsiders</p>
<p>Things like Abercrombie are often misconstrued as preppy. While their styles originate from New England styles, they certainly do not look as classy.</p>
<p>I live in lower Fairfield County (in CT), which is practically the preppiest place in the world...however, I feel that the long definition of preppy on the first page of the thread describes a very traditional version of preppy. While those brands are undoubtedly still a part of "preppy," many of us now dress in a more urban-chic-preppy way. For instance, almost all of us wear UGG boots, Juicy hoodies, and to lounge, Victoria's Secret Pink clothing. Believe it or not, we sometimes incorporate a few items from Banana Republic and Gap into our wardrobes. And a really cute, near-vintage top found in a boutique on Greenwich Avenue is considered a great find! On the chic end, we often shift into designer mode for dressing up or visiting NYC. Actually, designer jeans--Seven for All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity--are quite popular for every-day wear. Jackets from Milly and purses from Coach are not uncommon. Don't get me wrong--we still love to sport a RL polo with a madras skirt and Eliza B flip-flops, but urban and chic, designer items make our preppy broader and more updated.</p>

<p>Do you guys even pay for your own clothes? I like to wear nice clothes too, as a guy, but I pay for my stuff which can get expensive..$70 for a woven 7 Diamonds shirt means only 1 or 2 a month. I see girls in my school with clothing that would last for 2 months and I got to think how I would hate to have a daughter & have to buy all that stupid (UGGs, over priced handbags) designer stuff for them all the time..damn what happened to class?</p>
<p>Ugg boots are truly hideous</p>
