One who often is associated with wearing clother and apparel from Abercrombie & Fitch and other hot label clothing stores, however could also describe a high popularity status and/or means showing a dislike for other clicks or groups.
Preps usually look down to anyone but themselves and other preps. Preps may also display a extremely ego-centrical attitude. Being one, they could just look down to other groups of people, even.
A typical prep may appear to be (but not always) ego-centric, dress in Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and American Eagle clothing.

What is a prep? A prep is nothing. A prep is just a retarded stereotype invented by some loser who had too much time on their hands.

(In my opinion anyhoo...)

We preps are members of the social elite and upper class in our communities and like obviously go to private schools. We only wear upper label brands and never wear any low level brands you'd find at like a discount store. Typically we (mainly I) wear Burberry, Lacoste, Gucci, Prada, D&G, Lily Pulitzer, Dior, Louis Vuittion, etc. We preppy guys have extensive watch collections, consisiting of Rolexs, Jacob and Co. watches, Piaget, etc. and jewelry collections from stores such as Cartier. We do live in large houses, mainly on the water, and go out boating with our friends. We only wear jeans/pants that cost at least $150-$200 and only shop at Neimans and Saks. At 16, we get our cars, mainly Mercedes, Beamers, Cadillacs, etc. We all have credit cards and go shopping at least 5 times a week and spend a minimum of $300. We have a hard life but we find a way to live it.
"Omg I just found out the shirt I'm wearing went on sale..."
"I guess you should probably throw it out or burn it...don't give it to charity though otherwise you definately won't be considered a prep."
