People in today's world believe that to be preppy you need to wear certain clothes. That is not true at all. Preppy is a lifestyle. Growing up in a quaint New England town, going to private school and when you get to high school you go off to a boarding school. You do sports like Sailing, Skiing, Polo, Tennis, Squash, Golf, and Horseback Riding. When summer comes you enjoy going away for weekends with your friends and family on your boats and or your summer home and while growing up you get a small boat such as a boston whaler. You enjoy music such as Jack Johnson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, G-Love and the Special Sauce, Bob Marley, Sublime, O.A.R., Matchbox Twenty, etc. Preps enjoy a relaxed lifestyle. Many are also conservative and they are very polite people. When you speak about clothing many people believe that Hollister and Abercrombie and American Eagle are preppy. Thats not true. Real preps wear cloths such as Vineyard Vines, Polo Ralph Lauren, Lilly Pulitzer, J. Crew, Nantucket Reds, Musto, Henri and Lloyd, Gill, North Face, Spyder, Nautica, etc. For shoes Top-Siders, and Rainbow or Reef Flip Flops. They are members of there local yacht club and meet many of their friends there. For cars preps drive Audi's, Volvo's Saab's, Mercedes-Benz's, and BMW's. we also own apple computers and what not. Preps are not a superficial people. They just enjoy having very nice, and reliable things that they know will last them a very long time. We come from families known to most as Old-Money families.Hopefully you will know start to understand preps a little better.
Fake Prep: Yea i spent all of my money at the mall buying stuff from hollister and spent the rest of my night talking badly about other people at the mall while i was there.
True Prep: Well i just got back, me and the family went to Martha's Vineyard for the weekend with some friends.

If you wear the preppy clothes, then you aren't nesseccarily a prep. If more than 3 of the definitions above apply to you, then you're a prep. If only 24 applies to you, then you're still a prep.
For you preps that think we're jealous, we're not. Yay, you're rich, good for you!
WE HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO COMMON SENSE, DAMMIT!!! (Read 1-25)

Skanks who wear abercrombie, american eagle, and hollister and think they're better than everyone else because their dadys buy them everything they want. They are typically popular for god knows what reason. They suck.
Any "it" girl at school or in Los Angeles i.e Paris Skankbag hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc. Anyone elected prom queen could also be considered a prep

Prep kids are the best dressed kids of the schools, we are misinterpreted to be snobby and rich but that is not even close. Preppy kids don't come from very rich families neither than poor families, we come from upper-middle class families. We don't go on road trips around america, we fly, and we usually come from big cities or east coast towns. Preppies wear Lilly, Polo, Banana Republic, Vineyard Vines, Jack Rodgers, J. Crew, Lacoste, Ray Ban, Brooks Brothers, Johnston and Murphy, Vera Bradley, Abercrombie, Hollister, etc. Preppies are known for vacationing in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and New England towns. Preps get good grades such as A's anything lower than an A is bad. If you are a real prep then you should have a luxurious car ex: Volvo, BMW, Mini Cooper, Mercedes, Lexus, etc. and if you're a fake prep you will drive ex: Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc.
"Hey Murph, your new J. Crew cashmere is very cute," Emerson said. "Yeah, I want to dress with more prep." "If you do, you can borrow my Jack Rodger's." "Really?"
"Yep."
"Yep."

A period of time in which boarders are expected to complete their homework. Often broken into 1st prep (doors/curtains open) and 2nd prep (where you can have a little more privacy). At around 8 or 8:30 there is a half an hour intermission called Supper which is also the time for teeth brushing and changing into night clothes.
Prep for a typical Yr 11 would begin after Dinner (Tea) at 7pm, stop at 8:30pm for Supper and resume at 9pm. Lights would go out at 10:30pm.
During prep there is to be total silence, and to work with another person you must ask for permission first. Boarding staff patrol the area.
