Typically a member of the lucky sperm club whos better than you in every way. They're also known to be native to northern states and universities. The opposite of trailer-trash, hicks, red-necks, and the average joe. (Also see preppy, prep, yuppie, and George W. Bush.)

As i was going through many of these definitions, it made me realize how many people are actually looking at the more movie driven looking preps than those of the real preps. i should know, i am one.
preppy people do wear Polo shirts, LL Bean and other so=uch stores as that, but we also wear uniforms. The uniforms usually consist of Polo shirts, button up collored shirts, and some kind of plaid skirt. If allowed, we wear any color we find suitable to our skin tones (usually one must wear white though). If anything in the world, we DETEST the popped collar look--that and the sweater tied around the neck look is for the movies! We do however look rather neat and quite put togather, but again that is usually the uniform pulling that look off for us. Although we do wear accesories, we in no way always wear or are quite fond of pearl headbands, necklaces, and what else one may come up with. The monogrammed items are also moive-esque. And I would like to know what a person is thinking when they say that preppy people do not match, because as i have stated--we wear uniforms. Hats are not always worn, it still gives one hat-hair and our schools don't allow it either.
We do attend prep schools (private schools, Governors schools, etc.), yet they do not have to be 100 of years old. Most of us will attend very well known colleges, yet that doesn't mean they will be located somewhere in England.
And as another point of contention, what is this business about vacationing in places such as Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and such? We go just about everywhere anyone else does, such as Bethany Beach. Nor do our families have to have been going there for over years and years--another movie-prep cliche.

Everyone's seen Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, and other such classics from the 80s, yes? That is not preppy.

Preppy is NOT obnoxious bright color combinations of fuschia pink with flourescent green, although pink and green can be a "preppy" combination if worn by women under 21. Pink and Green is Worth Avenue in Florida. Florida is not really preppy. Massachussets is preppy. Only infants and tourists wear pink in green in Nantucket.
Preppy is NOT spending the last dollar on an ill-fitting Lilly Pulitzer outfit that one buys simply because it's (a) Lilly Pulitzer and (b) pink & green.
Preppy is not over exposing yourself to UVA rays when you lay-out for 6 hours every weekend so that you go from white Anglo to African American. Preppies do get tan, but its from sailing or playing golf, and they wear sunscreen and get out of the sun if they can't keep some resemblance of WASP-ness.
Preppy is a term to describe a clean, conservative choice of dress with most apparel able to withstand years of wear and tear from sports such as sailing, golfing, riding horses and skiing. It is not cheap synthetic fibers in bright colors just because the designer occasionally produces preppy outfits.
Preppy is classic navy blue sweaters, sailor red pants, a hunter green car and crisp white oxfords. Preppy is not a strappy, body hugging fluorescent green with bugs embroidered on it dress with hot pink trim. That's just tacky.

The preppy girls from Miss Porters, who were home for vacation but still dressed with ribbons in their hair, white monogrammed oxfords, jeans and tretorns laughed at the public school townies from Darien when the the townie in the strapless pink and green Lilly Pulitzer top tripped in her fuschia Jack Rogers sandals. It was, afterall, thanksgiving and 40 degrees outside.

Most people say that most preps live in the North.Places like New England and such but there are preps in the South.Like North and South Carolina.Preps from the South wear the same clothing like any other prep.Preps from the South love monogrammed things,palm trees,polka dots,bright colors, and John Deere quilted totes.They drive Mercedes,Convertibles,BMW's,station wagons and any other nice expensive car.They live in gated neighborhoods,old communities,oceanfront homes and any other nice home.They are as preppy as any other prep!
