just because you are not rich and perfect like all the people that live in mansions in new york,
massachusettes, conneticut, and all the new england states..does not mean you are not a prep. not all preps can afford lily pullitzer, polo, lacoste, and all those high name brands. that doesnt mean they are poor it just means they cant afford that. abercrombie and fitch, hollister, american eagle, aeropostale, gap , old navy etc. are preppy stores...just not the reallly really preppy ones. preps are not snobby and think they are better than everyone else. just the other entries i read did sound like those are the kind of people they are. popping your collar in an a+f or hollister polo is preppy. your hair should be nicely styled and if you need make up to look pretty than that is fine.

girls or guys and rich or average people who like the prep style whether they wear a+f and hollister or lily pullitzer and polo.

A social label that says alot more about the person using it than the group it refers to. More crass, ill-informed tosh which "human" "mammalian" "adolescent" "air-breathing" "food-eaters" and "media-whores" use to segregate mankind ready for market research "targetting"
Hendrix asked what's a preppy, and Zappa replied its a way for people to be categorized stereotyped pigeonholed catalogued labelled filed trivialized dehumanized blinkered segregated descriminated conned deceived deluded duped and assimilated by banal corny tedious cloned alien misanthropists. Lame, said Hendrix. Agreed, said Zappa.

This is not exactly true and is very much a stereotype, but I will describe the preps I see in High School.
Guy Prep:
Body: Extremely thin, and tall. Tanned, with few or no visible skin imperfections. Veins and bones visible when arms move, but generally not that strong. Runs fast though.
Clothes: Usually wears well ironed Abercrombie shirts and dark Structure jeans with a brown belt, a brown wallet, brown boots, and boxers that are at least three inches out of their pants. Sometimes guys have a stud earring.
Hair: Gelled crew cut or spikes. Tips sometimes dyed or hair frosted.
Car: A pristinely clean, relatively fast, leather-endowed car (maybe an Accord Coupe).
Music: Rock(Godsmack), heavy metal(Metallica), death metal(Tool), and a little punk(Offspring).
Activities: Sneaking out, alcohol, sometimes racing, seeing movies, watching football games, playing football, buying clothes.
Girl Prep:
Body: Once again very lean, relatively tall for a girl, big-boobed, moderately sized hips, perfect skin.
Clothes: Usually wears tight, double-meaning Abercrombie shirts, hip-hugger jeans, double or triple pronged brown belts, platform sandals, earrings, tight-fitting small purse.
Hair: Long, shiny hair. Sometimes a bow or other decoration. Often, people think of preps as blondes, but there are probably more brunettes around me at least.
Car: Entry level coupe, Civic, RSX, Celica. Leather endowed and always clean, but not very fast or featured.
Music: Whatever the guys around them listen to.
Activities: Hanging around in big groups, meeting up at the mall, seeing movies, cheerleading, shopping with other female preps.
Unisex Prepiness:
Family: Stuck up, rich parents who are blissfully unaware of their children's activites.
Money: Lots of it.
Intelligence: Moderately to highly intelligent, but don't show it. Do OK in school, go to a good state/private university.

just cause i like punk rock but don't dress in complete black with kurt cobain t shirts i get called a prep. I dont wear my 'collar popped' and i never ever wear skirts. Im always in my ripped jeans and coverses, and i dont own any pink tops. I think the definition of preps is just beomming more complex each and each day. To be a prep all you have to do is stand around the shopping centre waiting for your bus in the arvo or giggle at soemthing that you would find funny. I think people need to stop calling each other preps, because to be honest how many of us have BMW's at 16? and wear a tonne of jewlery and get our nails done properly. Its so stupid
Dont have an example just that STOP CALLING PUNK ROCK PEOPLE PREPS, just cause we dont wear complete black and praise the devil

a prep is an arrigant person who thinks that they are the best in the world. a prep also had needs to make fun of others who aare different from them, exapmle, goth or outcasts. they may also enjoy calling punk people goth or others outcasts or losers. and they NEVER have a good come back. and when they say that they can kick ur bum they will usually say "not rigth now, or some other time"

Scum of the earth both culturally and intellectually-wise disguised with makeup and/or rich, trendy, overpriced clothes. Usually get good grades but don't exactly have all that much going on in their hollow heads. Also known as sheep, followers, lackeys, bandwagon members, etc. The TRUE AMERICAN - not a compliment either, ditzshits. Don't care about government, vote for guy with best hair, basically empty-headed with no clue as to what's going on around them, and will grow up to be fat, dowdy, frumpy middle-aged PTA housewives, gossipping in the beauty parlor about their once-handsome, airhead balding husband and the supposedly-scandolous lives of their neighbors. During youth, takes occasional trips to the girls' restroom in order to cry and weep about how their boyfriend dumped her just before they were about to sleep with her. People with as much emotional depth as Saddam Hussein and less intelligence, BUT... more vindictive.
*preps at a musuem* "Omigod, was Leonardo, like, Da Vinci related to Leonardo DiCaprio?"
"And, like, what's with Mona Lisa's dress? Like. Ew."

no body gives a shit who is "preppy" and who isn't. people are people and how we dress is how we dress. but one things for sure, the type of blonde ditzy girl who always wears make up and always carries make up is really really anoyying and that can be considered preppy.
look at that preppy lil bitch who is too good to talk to her old friends who don't wear the name brand cloths and don't go shopping every week with her.
