A prep is one of very higher middle class or high class. Usually attending private school or east coast boarding school living in some of the richest neighborhoods in the united states. Although those living in suburban areas think they are "preps" because they shop at aeropostale, abercrombie & fitch, espress, old navy and american eagle. Believe me true preps don't shop there. Although they may own some clothing preps usually shop at polo, lily pullitzer, lacoste, j.crew, saks,nordstroms and so on, only those of higher classes would be able to afford such things. They wear pearls, ribbons, jewelery from tiffany's, plaid, designer purses. Traveling during the summer to nantucket, martha's vineyard...or around the world to different countries.Plays lacrosse, field hockey, crew team, tennis. And their parents pretty much make $250,000 + driving some of the most expensive cars around.
preps DONT wear aero, ae and a&f
it pisses me off when people think their preppy wearing it. your NOT preppy...get it through your heard, your just a POSER.

1) Life of A Prep
*Usually from the East Coast and from Old Money
*Attends an East Coats Prep School
*Usually dresses in anything from Ralph Lauren to Chanel. Would not be caught dead in a wal-mart.
*Cares about their appearance and tries to look as nice as possible.
*Cares deeply about their reputation, would never be caught doing something slutty/trashy
*Gets good grades and is planning or already attends an IVY.
*Is occasionally bitchy
*A prep isn't in your face about how much money she has
2) A Prep is NOT
*A cheerleader or jock. A prep may be a cheerlead or jock but just because someone is a cheerleader or jock doesn't mean they're a prep.
*Someone who wears American Eagle, Abercrombie or anything else that can't be bought in Nordstom's, Sak's or Neiman's.

1) Life of a prep
Madeline: So, where are you applying?
Parker: Princeton, Harvard, Brown... all the usual
Madeline: Alison got accepted early descion to Princeton. Did you see the Aston Martin she got as a congratulation gift?
Parker: Yeah, it's pretty nice.
2) A Prep is not
Ashlee: Like, did I show you my new Juicy Couture Bag? It was $350. I bet you wish your dad could spend that kind of money on you.
Jessica: Well atleast I have a nice car! My 1999 VW Bug is so much cooler than your 1996 Honda Civic.
Ashlee: Well... well I've slept with more guys than you have!
Jessica: No you haven't! I am way more slutty than you!

Now really, do you want to be that girl who wears Abercrombie and everybody secretly calls her a whore behind her back? I think not. So sit up, summon some class, and become a true prep.
Don't wear jeans with holes in them. They just look trashy. Why would you buy jeans that are pre-ripped? That's just stupidity.
Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle. Sound familiar? Yeah, complete trash. They are trends that most certainly will not last. You don't even have to go to a prep school to be considered a prep anymore. Some clothes to invest in? Ralph Lauren, my personal favorite. Also, try some Lacoste and maybe some Brooks Brothers, but BB might be a tad too formal for some people. Vineyard Vines is nice for ties and belts. Lilly Pullitzer is a good, tropical option for polos. Buy some Rainbows or boat shoes, specifically Sperry's. Loafers are always nice.
Don't be one of those people that wears tacky silver and gold. Girls, if you want true class, buy a classic, thin strand of pearls. Timeless elegance.
Some nice sports? Guys usually participate in golf, crew, rowing, or sailing is always a prime sport. Girls, try some tennis or even horseback riding.
Preps aren't stuck up. Pseudo preps, yes. But true preps accept people as they are. Don't stick to the mantra, 'Emos are evil. They should all die.' You have to deal with a lot of types of people in the world. Get over yourselves.
Preps are classy, elegant, timeless. It's not something that passes after high school. I've been raised since birth as a true prep and I'm sure I will continue even after college.
So get rid of your Abercrombie and put some pearls on, slip on a Ralph Lauren polo, and wear some madras.

Veronica and Maddie sat in their tennis skirts and pearls, wearing their loafers at the local Starbucks, the true essence of prep..
Two girls passed by in their Abercrombie tops and fake Louis Vitton purses with their trashy boyfriends.
The girls sighed. "What a shame."

A girl that wears knee high socks, sweaters, plaid skirts and buckled shoes. Not to be confused with someone that wears short shorts, brand name t-shirts(or tank-tops), and wears gallons of make-up. This would actually be called a slut, hooker, whore, or popular girl. If someone goes to your school(and your school isn't a prep school) then they are NOT preps.

girls/guys these days CARE WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK
especially those preppy girly girls who takes FOREVER to get ready in the morning just cause they need their hair to be perfect and the way they look
sadly, NO ONE CARES about what you think of yourself
honestly, it's ok to be a little obsessive over yourself, but just don't overdo it
another reason they're preps is that they pick on people who DRESS DIFFERENTLY FROM THEMSELVES
i mean, wtf what made you think you had a fucking chance at making fun of someone else
it's not like you're any better than they are and at least they're not sluts who's like "ew is that dirt in my nails?"
no boy would honestly date preppy girls even if they do they'll eventually BREAK UP WITH THEM because they'll realize how mean they are how sensitive they are
even if boys date those preppies well they're only the ones who're A JERK to even think about taking an interest into those girls

Preps - Is that dirt?
Yes, it is, got a problem?
Preps - Well it's gross.. get it away from me, I don't want that piece of shit on my new skirt!

The word prep comes from the word preparatory, meaning a preparatory school. True preps are totally not mainstream and they have an original style. They wouldn't dare shop at Abercrombie, Hollister, Aeropostale, etc..
Rather, they shop at stores like J Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vines, Lilly Pullitzer, and Small Boutiques. They take pride in their academics and usually end up in an ivy-leauge college. Most preps are very athletic, well-groomed, and carry themselves well. Despite what others say on this website, Preps usually have one or a few extreme talents that they work on hard, and are usually very creative. They do come from money. However, It is usually old money that has been past down by generations of preps. Preps don't usually flaunt their money. They are very conservative. The basic definition of preps is- classy people who have an original style and carry themselves well.
I really have no clue where people get the idea that preps are mainstream.

Non-Prep- "How would you describe yourself?"
Prep- "I'm preppy"
Non-Prep- "So you shop at abercrombie and aeropostale?"
Prep- "Are you serious? Of course not! Real preps would never shop there"
