Preppy

What is up with all these really long definitions dissing preps???? This is wrong! All these people who define preps as stupid, annoying, A&F and A&E wearing snobs are totally WRONG!!!! Preps are smart and nice and if you didn't know that, you've proably never meta real prep before or you're just jealous of us! FYI real preps do not wear AF, AE and Hollister. We tend to go for more classic, conservative stores and we do not wear Miss.Sixty jeans!! Holy shit! All you people that think have obviously never seen or met a REAL Prep!!

Buffy:Hey, Muffy! What's going on with you today?
Muffy: Nothing much. I'm just studying for the Math exam tomorrow.
Buffy: Good for you! I'm just about ready to go shopping at J.Crew.
Muffy: Ok, well, see you later!

Preppy

A prep is someone who doesn't need to tell people that they are a prep people just assume. Preps wear nice clothes usualy consisting of polo, lily pulitzer, lacoste, j crew, ect. They are the people everyone wants to be. Always composed and looking fresh. Never wearing loads of make-up but still looking good. We all have a collection of purses including at least 5 of any of these: a coach, dooney and burke, or a vera bradley. Our collars are always flipped and never have a crease.

Girls: a daily outfit; polo shirt with collar popped and a plaid mini and eliza b flip flops, not to mention tiffany jewlrey

Guys: a daily outfit; polo shirt with collar popped and plaid shorts with birkenstoks

Preps Never:
1. wear trashy clothes
2. show too much clevage
3. except an engagment ring that doesn't come in a turquoise box
4. go anywhere without a ribbon handy

Classic Prep: always summering in the hamptons or the vinyard. Plays golf, lacrosse, field hockey, or soccer.

The New Prep: summering wherever they want but always end up having a good time. Shop at all the cutest stores but only but what is concidered preppy. Play field hockey, lacrosse or soccer ; but the occasional golfer.

There that preppy girl goes with her collar flipped up and her adorable lacrosse boyfriend

Preppy

Preppy, comes from the word Prep, which is short for a College Preporatory School. Most of the deffs for this word are pretty off. I myself coming from a very affluient area and going to a prep school sure as hell knows what preppy is. People who wear only lacoste, polo, vineyard vines shirts, ect. are people who are trying way to hard to be "preppy". A true prep is one that dosent really care that much, because they dont need to show that they have money in that way. There is a big difference between old money and new money. New money preps are the ones who really make an effort to be preppy and show off money, which is pretty lame. Old money preps, dont have to try as hard and probubly have enough class not to be assholes about how they dress. New money preps where clothing such as the newest and best colored shirts in all colors styles ect. They were ribbon belts and there rainbows. Older money preps dont really need to make a stand that they are preppy, because they know they are and dont have to prove any sort of point. They wear more laid back clothing, more of older colored shirts they have had for a while, there worn out sevens and ralph lauren chinos possible with holes. An older money prep isnt as gay and as snooty looking as a new money. New money preps are people who have had there summer houses in the hamptons, nantucket, hyannis port, block island for the last decade. Older money preps have had there houses out there through generations and actually appereciate the place and keep it on the dl that they even go out there. Preppy people that truley love skiing have houses outwest rather than VT. Out west is where the skiing is at.. such as Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Sun Valley. Preps in general are usually good in athletes because boarding schools have pretty competitive teams. The best sports for them are lax,field hockey,tennis,skiing, and golf. Your not a true prep unless your actually good at the sports and not just say you are to sound cool. Many people try to pretend they are preppy by over doing the whole look....not cool.... Stores that think they are preppy are american eagle and abercrombie which has pretty shitty clothing. Preppy people usually have class and good manners, hopefully if you are preppy you can carry on an intellectual conversation about anything. To be a preppy person, have class, and not brag about money. is a good thing. there is a fine line between wanna be preps and true preps.

wannabe preppy girl: collored shirt with cable nit cashmere sweater over. Pearl. CK bradley belt. nantucket reds, that are not really from Murrys.The new gold jack rogers. Northface jacket.
= trying way to hard
chill prep= old rugby shirt, jeans (pref worn) no belt, pearl earrings ..ok. hoodie with college or prep school name on it.--mt hardware fleece.
-dosent really care
-----and for guys.... u decide

Preppy

The preps that I know are smart, well-traveled, well-spoken, well-dressed and indeed, out of the box. I guess this culture defines the artsy preps or creative preps who, may have both the material things that the true prep has and more or has nothing at all.

Artsy preps think like a prep: they aspire more. Astsy preps act like a prep: their intelligence shows. Preps dress like a prep: standard and simple yet original and fresh.

Yes, being preppy is really a number of things. Above all, the true prep is creative. Why not, because if you're well off enough, mentally or materially, then you must be adept at designing your own world or little corner of the earth.

How can you define prepppy as you have when just one adjective, like artsy, can just falsify all that you defined as preppy.

Preppy

A gorgeous, rich girl who plays golf and tennis and who skis in the winter. They belong to country clubs just for playing golf and belong to other clubs just for playing tennis because the tennis lessons at the country club are not foccused on tennis. She has attended a private school since the age of 3 and has goals in life such as being a Lawyer, Doctor or CEO of a medium to large company. She wears ribbons in her hair from Burberry, Coach, Louis Vuitton etc... and is extremely nice. She is beautifull but might not be popular. She is always clean and always brushes her teeth. In the summer, they have a BMW convertible and in the winter they have a Poarshe or Mercedes-Benz. When people look at them they smile unless they are looking at their new-never-before-seen car because she has always had "old money" and is used to being rich and having the best cars ever. She has her own luxurious bedroom and is again, extremly nice to everybody. She gets great grades and has Britney Spear's body. She is super cute and super nice. She has a ton of REAL friends. She doesn't care about popularity unless, she can't do anything about it. She has a preppy car (BMW, etc...) as well as a preppy "coat and tie) boyfriend.

A prep is hard to be, but anybody can be it with a little of hard work

Preppy

People aften say these things about preps:
They are snobs
They think too much of themselves
All they care about is their looks and shopping
They love pink, A&f and making fun of goth/punks
They are the popular,dumn sluts.

All of these things are not true.
Here are some that are:
They are often very good at school
They are not sluts and do not dress slutty at all; in fact,most of them dress conservative (the ones that don't aren't true preps)
They do not love A&F, they wear clothes by:
Lily Pulitzer, Ralph Lauren, Tommy and so on.
THey often play sports like tennis, golf and field hockey.
They do NOT have to live in the north-east or go to a private/ boarding preppy school
I am a REAL prep (one of few in in my school) and I attend a public school.

But I do play tennis and wear some designer clothes.
I dress like a full-on prep and people at my school do not like that.
It's weird that I'm not even that popular and people still spread nasty rumors about me just because of my personality and style:PREPPY.

Not often are preps as rich as people say they are, but most of them are well-off, as some would say.
My father is a successful shipbuilder and my family is what you would call 'well off', but us preps don't flaunt it.
We're not very public or rowdy and loud.

The preppy thing generally started in the late 70's and it had never went out of style.

Preps are also good people; good grades, good families, they do good things for their communities.
Preppy=Good!
Preppy Style Essentials:
Polos (bright colors, please, and collars always popped.)
Oxford Shirts
Birkenstock Clogs
KHAKIS!!!!!!!!
Stripes and ribbons
Pearls
Tennis skirts
Topsiders
Bright Pink and Kelly Green are a must!

Jules and Alex were headed to Williamsburg to shop after they were done volunteering at Historic Yorktown.
Jules was wearing her favorite green oxford shirt, collar popped and Alex was wearing an almost identical outfit. Jules also had a stripes ribbon belt and a ribbon watch on to accessorize her look.
