A town located in Southern Connecticut, bordered between Stamford & Norwalk. Public school townies try to look like what they believe elite prep school students look like. But instead of classic, conservative and traditional clothing in navy blue, red, etc...., many of Darien's residents wear pink and green thinking this color combination is somehow preppy and not Palm Beach if worn in the Northeast. Most true "preppies" call and consider these wannabe preppy Darien residents "townies" and make fun of them for trying to pretend to be from old families or from any sort of prepatory related culture (most residents are second generation Italians and Irish, and not fourth generation WASPs). Darien residents trying to be preppy are much like ghetto head-to-toe Louis Vuitton clad urbanites: too much and trying to hard.
Just as rap stars wear to many designer logos, the residents of Darien wear pink and green in an attempt to be preppy.
