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."

Get the prepmug. Combining classy preppy style with an ignorant twist, Prep Sleaze is an aesthetic that blends two seemingly opposing worlds: the polished, traditional vibe of early 2000s East Coast prep culture and the grittier, self-aware attitude of postmodern rebellion. It’s both a nod to prep’s clean-cut heritage and a critique of its exclusivity and aspirational ideals, thriving on deliberate contradiction.
At its core, this style finds balance in the absurd—pairing a $1,200 Ralph Lauren Purple Label polo with $20 thrift-store jeans, scuffed Sperry Top-Siders with chinos that have been dragged through the mud, or wearing untucked and wrinkled oxford shirts with grass-stained white jeans. It’s a visual language that both celebrates and mocks privilege, where the pristine world of yacht clubs and Ivy League campuses meets the raw, unpolished aesthetic of dive bars and thrift racks.
Prep Sleaze isn’t just about fashion—it’s an attitude. It’s not trying to fit in; it’s poking fun at the very concept of fitting in. Imagine throwing on a Vineyard Vines polo in 2024, smoking a cigarette, and saying, “Fuck it. Why not?” It’s that tension—the irony and rebellion—that makes it cool.

Get the Prep Sleazemug. If we agree that there should be very few preps solely for the sake of the prep, then the bulk of our preps are “in-use” Living Preps. You are likely not using your bio-hazard gear and faraday-shielded electronics for anything but a SHTF scenario.
For instance. Rotating your pantry so that it is always prepped to carry you through a growing season, then the prep is dual purpose and a proper prep. Same applies to your wood lot. If you are using your wood lot rotations to warm you year over year (and sell excess to finance those single purpose preps). Living Preps are those that carry you through every year and are ready-state given a SHTF scenario.

Constantly growing and preserving your own food is a Living Prep because you use it along the way to a trigger event.
