This is written from a fourteen year old prep, thus it pertains to a younger prep crowd. Preppiness is more an attitude than a per say, "a clothing style". However, you cannot consider yourself a prep without having the proper attire. First of all, as for high school preps, you CANNOT get away with wearing Aero. It's the cheapest imitation of prep style there is, sorry. American Eagle is alright for a pair of jeans or a hoodie to lounge around your house in, but just go and buy at least Victoria's Secret Pink sweats. You have to wear Ralph Lauren Polo, there's no other way around it. Lacoste is a must also. You can totally get away with wearing Abercrombie & Fitch at this age- $50 for a polo is about as much as Vineyard Vines and Abercrombie is an older brand, not some new store. Hollister is okay, it's inbetween AE and A&F. However, dressing in only these brands prevents you from being a prep. Preps have style, we wear our Tiffany's & Co. charm bracelets & matching neckleces, monogramed of course. Pearls have become overated because fakes are so prevelant. There are specific color schemes we adore. Navy & white, black & white, pink & green, and navy & pink are always great choices. We don't dye our hair outrageous colors and our hair doesn't look overprosessed. Other brands you can wear are Izod, Juicy Couture, ABS, , Calvin Klein, Guess (sometimes...), DKNY, C&C, Sevens, Seven7's, Gap, Banana Republic, Nauctica, Express, bebe, Hilfiger, Burberry, and all upper-brand labels (Gucci, Chanel, Prada, YSL, etc.) Department stores like Macy's, Nordstrom's, & Saks are great for dressier clothes or basics. Preps use brand named make-up: Estee Lauder, Chanel, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, most anything from Sephora, etc. There are some accesories, besides jewelry, that are uniquely prep. I think that a Burberry or Michael Kors watch is always a nice touch. Handbags have a broad range: Vuitton (don't even try a fake, if you can't afford it it shows), Chanel, Dior, Brighton is sweet, Tod's... most any high-end label. A Polo or Lacoste tote is perfect to grab to take to your Club's pool for the day. Monogramed totes are cool for that sort of thing also. As far as sunglasses go, I'd stay with labels again. Versace, Dior, Chanel... just too classic. Shoes should be simple and stylish, refrain from too high of heels. Stick with a lower pump, kitten heel, Sperries, Kitson, ballet flats (London Soles), Lacote has some great sneakers... anything simple. We do get our nails down frequently, however they are our REAL nails, and not too long in neon colors. Prep music can vary, personally I enjoy the independent scene to break away from the town I live in. However, soft rock is another excellent choice. Preps should go to Country Clubs, I think this is more important than private schools. If you are a real prep, you either have old money or educated parents. They own a company or are business people, are bankers, doctors, lawyers, or stock brokers. We arn't stuck up- we just believe in a classy lifestyle. We mix cutting edge fashion with classic pieces. Education is key. If you are a real prep at fourteen, you'll know it by how you've been raised. If you go to new countries, have three or four nice vacations a year, cruise, and have summer houses, that's a good sign. Houses are in nice neighborhoods, new or old. Typically you're paying for a lot more than your house. Our attitude might be what is so unique. We're bubbly and out-going. We are sweet to most everyone and are leaders; expect to see us in student council or class office. If you hate someone who is nice to everyone, you're purely jealous. Prepdom is more than a social class, it's a way to live.
Prep One: Hey Kat, are we still going to Tyson's this weekend?
Prep Two: Can we go the following weekend? I forgot, the Club's tennis championship is on Friday...
Prep One: That's totally fine, I think Ruehl and Lacoste are having sales then anyway. Good luck!
Prep Two: Thanks Addison, toodles!

A prep is not always a stuckup bitchy snob. Generally, preps are rich, but I personally know many preps that aren't. Technically, a prep is somebody that goes to preparatory school, but in the real world, it is somebody who shops too much for their own good. Many people who are not preps use the words "like" and "totally" such as myself. Most preps like to flip their collars and wear bright ribbons in their hair. They love polos, and shop mostly at Abercrombie, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, American Eagle, Hollister, and Aeropostale.
Prep: Like, I went shopping and got this really hot skirt from hollister and it's like, really really short so I can't wear it to school.
Prep 2: OMG! I think I know which one you're talking about and like, teachers shouldn't be like, telling us what we can and can't wear.

Prep: a high ranking group of kids, if not the highest ranking of the public school food chain. They tend to always be in relationships, at parties or at practice for a sport. They all have cell phones, and text a lot. They are hated by many other groups, and hated by some in their group. Some of the hate is jealousy, others hate because they can, others because they wear expensive cloths. Though they are poked at by many, preps normally do not care about the groups that do not like them. They are oblivious most of the time. Many are smart, but many are dumb, very dumb. You have some preps that get Honor Roll all year, some don't get B's exept in their slow math class. It is a more diverse, confusing, wondering who can't you talk to because of your girlfriend got in a fight on AOL last night world. Plus, school work for the smart, shopping for the less, and others things make it a life I wouldn't give up for the world.
Joe: Hey, Ashley!
Hannah: Joe, don't talk to her. Cassie told me she said I was a whore!
Joe: Dear God. A day in a the life of a prep.

A prep is often considered an extremely rich ass hole who's purpose is to fluant there money. But in all actuality this isn't so.
First of all, preps are classy not flashy. A prep doesn't drive obnoxious cars like hummers and corvettes. Those are for the gatti and yuppies. That shows no class or style, but rather a cheap view of what is "cool". A prep drives cars that speak of his money, style, and practicality. For example, a nice and simple Toyota 4-Runner, new of course. Or a Mercedes, a volvo, or a nice sedan.
People who indulge in the cheap substitute for class, often want people to know "HEY I HAVE MONEY LOOK HERE" this scum and pathetic excuse for a wealthy person often grew up with little money or nothing. A trure prep understands that they are better, and smarter because they are the best. they don't act like it, they just are.
Secondly, preps are often highly educated but this doesn't nessecearly mean from the north or east. there are many great schools in the south and carolinas. A prep prepares for a life of sucess because they often deserve what they earn.
As I mentioned the terms, gatti and yuppie, One thought came to mind. NEW MONEY. these are people who win the lottery, all of a sudden get a pay raise, etc. This may make them rich. but in no way does it mean classy. Buying hollister, and Buckle products are a trashy alternative from Polo, Gap, Lacoste, Vineyard Vines, and J. Crew.
A preps parents raise them to be the top of the class, the most respectable of the bunch. Some people perceive this differently. Preps don't look down on or make fun of other social groups, they simply choose to forget about them. A true prep knows that these people don't mean anything. A preppy person honors themselves, their families, freinds. Everyone else is simply exsiting.

I have been reading these definitions, and very few have acctually stated the true meaning of a prep. Firstly, we DO NOT shop at Hollister, A&F, AE or whatever. We do not hate anyone (bar people who wear the aforementioned brands and call themselves prep, hence giving us a bad name as sluts). Some of my best friends are goths, skaters, street, emo and many more.
Preps go to Ivy League or preparatory school, hence prep. We wear Ralph Lauren, some Lacoste, old Fred Perry polos (I cover mine with a sweater to be sure though), Barbour, some Lilly, J. Crew, Brooks Brothers, polos, sweaters, chinos, khakis, quilted jackets, tweed blazers, aviator sunglasses, tote or messenger bags, NOTHING SHORT OR TIGHT and are rarely seen at a mall.
We have a copy of the Official Preppy Handbook or True Prep (same author) and have read it cover to cover and followed it's advice. We do not flaunt our money and are usually not stinking rich, more comfortable. We donate to charity, get good grades and aspire for top jobs and summer in affluent areas (Nantucket, Cape Cod, the Vineyard for American preps, affluent areas of Europe for European preps).

"When people realise that preps are classy and don't wear slutty clothes, the world will be a better place," sighed Bitsy. Her friend, Hannah, who was a goth, nodded in agreement.

A prep is somebody who thinks they are better than everyone else. They think they have to make fun of other people to make them selves feel good. to them all that matters in a relationship is looks. they think they have to be popular and have 2 million friends. And normally are afraid to play football.
Prep: Her clothes are so 2 weeks ago.
Prep: Eww i hate him i'm only going out with him because he's hot.
Prep: OMG! that ball is gonna hit me in the face, i'm not playing.
