there are international preps as well. These preps live in well off countries, like Europe and Asia. In asia, preps usually attend a top private school and have lots of money on their hands. They get their prep clothes at super expensive malls. Since most preps go to the US for vacations and breaks anyway, they might get them in the US as well. Preps attend international school and thus speak english flunently.
Korean school students stared at two korean international school attending preps who wore Lacoste polos and Polo bottoms.

why is preppy only associated with Massachusetts? hello...they live everyhwere not just in a secluded state. and yes they put their colar up and wear expensive clothes that are all lilly and shit like that but again...live elsewhere than "new england" and go to vacation to various places aka duck beach, bethany beach, etc or whereever the hell they want where they own a house or can rent one that is spacious enough. usually have loads of money thats why they can afford the disgusting Lilly stuff and other "old lady" brands. aka those bags? common my grandma might where that not a teenager. and yes, country clubs are a must, its what characterizes what pool you go to or where you go play golf with you dad and his company. your brothers would play golf or lacrosse and you would play fieldhockey, lacrosse, tennis, or watever the hell you want but mostly lacrosse.and yes they do try to act cool by trying to be ghetto when obviosuly they can not..i mean...you were raised with amazzingly amount of money.

Those 100% bred preppy bunches feed into the CK Bradley industries after college, or as they like to call it "Daddy's Funland of Booze, Boobs, and Beauty."

In a nut shell...
Preppy kids are usually sell-outs for pastel colors and anything that looks like it could define them as a high socioeconomic class, yet the style has been so mainstreamed that it can now be worn by virtually anyone. Think of emo. Now think of an Emos worst enemy. And vice versa.

There is only one definition for a Continental European preppy and it is written by somebody who wears Tommy Hilfiger because he thinks Armani, Gucci and Versace are too expensive. He is therefore no European preppy.
The male European preppy will generally start wearing a suit at a younger age than the American one. Armani is probably the best but there are many others too. The brand however must not be visible to the eye in any form of mark or label, which are to be torn or cut off the suit. A tie is generally not worn outside work. More casual wear is mostly bought from your hometown clothes shop run by some childhood friend of yours. You wear local brands rather than international ones. There are also a few decent department stores in the City. For ladies there are much more places to buy clothes from, and accordingly they spend much more time and money shopping than men do. The European preppy of either gender will not be caught dead in a mall. Or wearing Tommy Hilfiger.
The houses in your hometown cost enough to keep the poor out. Your parents have the house in your hometown and the fancy apartment in the expensive part of the City. You go to the university in the City or maybe abroad, a year or two in the States or at Oxbridge will look nice in the CV.
The Continental preppy is fluent in English. To not speak English means you've had a poor education or are a French or German hick. That is not to say that all Frenchmen and Germans are hillbillies. Just 90% of the farmers.
Different countries have different sports like rugby. Tennis and sailing are pretty universal for all European preppies, and in the winter you go skiing to a place that costs enough to keep the poor out. You don't play golf, your dad plays golf. Guys follow some major sports leagues, but hardly ever go to an actual match.
You have good grades in high school to get to the university, where grades don't matter anymore. You just need to graduate, which mostly is a hard job in itself. So if your parents don't pay you trough school and you have to simultaneously study and work to make a living you must be exceptionally talented and hard working to make it. If you have to work you'll also miss a lot of the parties where preppies have a good time and make life-lasting bonds with other preppies.
The European preppy is in deed even more likely to come from Old Money than the American. European preppy families pay high income taxes, but only to a certain limit. Most of the income is not "income", but profit for an offshore company. The middle class pays income tax. Sailing costs enough to keep the poor out. We are the descendants of those who didn't ever have to leave for America.

Italian preppy guy: Damn, that preppy Princess Madeleine of Sweden is super hot.
Norwegian preppy guy: Well, I got to give that one to the Swedes, we don't envy them like our parents did anymore. Oh man, I just saw that guy from Connecticut in a Versace suit with the textile rip-off-tag still in the sleeve!
German preppy girl: Damn Yankees gonna ruin Kitzbuhel. Look, there's that good looking French dude who doesn't speak any English.
French preppy girl: He might be good looking, but he's got no class. He'll miss out on the real after-ski with those few French redneck friends of his. I refuse to talk with him, he just keeps bragging on and on about his parents' vineyard.
Italian preppy guy: Let's go find a good new off-piste hill!
Everybody: Yeah!

There's two kinds of preppy:
1.The rich kids who always play golf and are always smart,stuck-up brats that think they're better then the "less fortunate" people.
2.The kids at school who wear "popular clothes"(or so they think) and think that their the best in the school.
Girls:Usually blonde,loves pink and Hello Kitty,wears really small and tight clothes,says OMG and like alot,and listen to sucky pop music that they usually sing along to,always standing in groups talking about "hOtT bOyZ!!!111",laugh at the unpopular kids,giggle for no reason,always hanging out at the mall
Boys:Usually also blonde(almost all the guys in my class had brown or black hair then died it blonde to look "cool"),likes black and red,say they're "sK8eR pUnKz!!!11",and listen to punk,or what they think is punk,because they think it makes them popular.
