In brief, someone who adheres to the upper class "WASPy" lifestyle of New England or the United Kingdom (keep in mind the prep lifestyle is not explicitly limited to these areas). Preps almost always come from "old money" families and attend or have attended preparatory schools.
Preps work hard and play hard, showing a keen interest in academics as well as sports, particularly English sports such as Golf, Tennis, Polo, Squash, Sailing, etc.
Ivy League educations are common among preps, although it is said by some that some of the smaller, liberal arts colleges in the northeast such as Amherst are far more preppy than Harvard could ever be. The equivalents across the Atlantic include Cambridge, Oxford, and to a lesser extent, the Sorbonne in France.
Contrary to popular belief, preps do not wear mall-brand clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, American Eagle Outfitters, and Aeropostale, but from classic brands such as L.L. Bean, J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, Burberry, J. Press, and Lacoste. The preppy looks is sophisticated, yet understated. Since most preps come from wealth, their privilege is appreciated, but not flaunted.
There are certain concepts that are essential to being preppy, including (but not limited to): having appreciation for sport, knowing why wearing sandals in the middle of a rainy October day is just plain fun, and that "summer" is a verb, not just a noun.
I know this so well because I am one of these "preps".

douche bags that like to strut around wearing " abercrombie" and "american eagle." The females are usually your typical blonde haired, light eyed, and might I add clueless girls who are really conceited and usually end up being whores by as low as age 12. They usually have common names such as "Brittney", "Ashley", or "Jessica." The girls also tend to be drama queens, and find joy in making other "less popular" or according to them "ugly" girls feel low in order to help themselves deal with their miserable lives. They usually can't think for themselves and let their other prep friends or boyfriends control their clueless lives. As for the boys, they are the usual "pretty boy", and are also man whores. These usually have names such as "Jason", "Brian", or "Matt," and are as clueless and conceited as the females of the preppy society.

Person One: Wow, that girl's gorgeous.
Person Two: Duh, she's a prep.
Person One: Huh?
Person Two: She loose weight by not eating, throwing up, or bleeding out the majority of her body weight. Then she cakes on make up to look alive.
Person One: Oh! I get it.

Preps Are Self Centered, Slutty Whores. They Hate Emos & We Hate Them, But Emos Have A Reason To Hate Them, They Started It. They Hate Emos Cos They Think All Emos Slit Their Wrists, Firstly, Not True. They Are Known To Wear Slutty Colthes, Or Designer Brands, Ever Heard Of Abercrombe & Fitch?? They All Have. Though Boy Preps Are Different, They Are All Part Of At Least One Sprt Team & Find Fun In Torturing Emos, Punks, Goths & Others Who They Consider 'Below Them'. All Preps Should Be Destroyed, Now.
Prep: OMG!! Look At That Emo, Eww!! They Are So Weird, Lets Get Bobby To Beat Them Up. (Sad, But True)
