Contrary to popular belief preps are NOT the stereotypical Abercrombie & Fitch wearing skanks the media projects.
Preps are traditionally upper class suburban and/or metropolitan whites born with money. The term is usually used towards WASPs. More typically, relating to Northern upper class families, they tend to be be from older families, and will be connected to one another. The term "prep" comes from the word "preparatory" seeing as how these kids usually go to elite and private "prep" schools (Windsor, Milton, etc).
Fashion wise, being preppy does not indicate you are a person of high fashion and teen trends. Prep-wear is traditional, classy, conservative wear that are baseline semi formal. Typical prep designers would be Lacoste, Polo Ralph Lauren, Vera Bradley and J. Crew.
Typical preppy wear would be a buttoned up oxford shirt, khaki shorts, and loafers. A girl would throw in the small pearl earrings and modest headband.h
Preps indulge in activities such as golfing, playing tennis, crew, lacrosse, sailing and going to summer houses.
Summer houses are usually on expensive pieces of land, and are really only used for vacations. Housing spots would include places like The Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Newport.

When the teens of the world think of preps they think of:
snotty, bitchy, cocky, stuck-up, athletic, american eagle, abercrombie and fitch, aero, gap, pretty boys and girls who think they are on TOP of the world because they dress better than the rest of the school and happen to have more friends and more confidence..listen to music on MTV and radio of the time.
in reality..some are like this, but some are not, you cant judge every single person who hangs out with the preps to be exactly like this, this is called styereotyping and if your complaining about the preps and how they stereotype you..wel look at what YOU are doing
some preps arent like this, some preps cant afford to even shop at abercrombie, and not all of them are rich, some are really nice and are open to all kinds of people, and not all of them listen to music on mtv and the radio
if your going to call somebody a snobby bitchy cocky prep, get to know them first, because your just making yourself look low.
