OP....AMERICAN EAGLE IS NOT PREPPY.
i'm sorry, but this ****es me off.
american eagle, abercrombie, hollister= NOT preppy
since when did ripped jeans and graphic teachers mean preppy!?!?
jcrew, lily pulitzer, ralph lauren = preppy
ANY polos, seersucker, classic blazers, pearls, cardigans, madras, ribbon belts, etc. = preppy</p>
<p>preppy is not a BRAND, it's a lifestyle: preppy: (adj) of, pertaining to, or characteristic of preparatory schools or their students.

<p>*AMEN!! *</p>
<p>funny because i was about to make a post that AE/Abercrombie/hollister are not preppy. And that J. crew, ralph lauren, lily pulitzer were! crazy!</p>
<p>because when you said you didn't want to look "preppy" you were not referring to the actual definition of preppy, but the wrong yet popular definition of preppy as anything a&f/hollister.</p>
<p>anyway, all style aside jcrew has high quality basics that can fit into any wardrobe.</p>
