Get the preppy mug.Preppy originated from the style of people who attend prep schools, now the use of the word has broadened, you don't need to go/went to a prep school to be preppy. Preps are usually wealthy and well off, they wear nice, expensive clothes because they can afford it, they vacation often, & they live the "privileged life". A few common brands preps wear are:
- Ralph Lauren
- J. Crew
- Vineyard Vines
- Lilly Pulitzer
- Lacoste
- Tommy Hilfigure
Preps clothing style is Clean cut, polished, & classic. Preps are NOT trendy, they do not follow trends, and they don't wear cheap brands. Preps care about their education, they receive or aim for above average grades. Preps are confident and not afraid to be above the trends. Just because someone is preppy doesn't mean their parents or others family members are too. Some preppy sports are;
- Tennis
- Lacrosse
- Field Hockey
- Horseback riding
Preppy is not just a style, it's a life style.

Get the Preppy mug.A preppy is a student in a college prep school, where young people are taught subject matter that is intended to prepare them for the best colleges. The term could technically apply to any student in such a school, but the classic preppy stereotype is usually implied.
A classic preppy has an attitude of superiority and a focus on group status. A typical preppy wants to stand out by fitting in with the in crowd. Therefore, they most often shop where other preppies do, for things that add to their social status. Typical preppies, such as jocks, cheerleaders, class presidents and prom queens, they will be in all the most popular cliques. They are supposed to be preparing for college, but they act like they are really just preparing to be socialites. Classic preppy types are usually stuck up.
Preppies are most often rather conservative in style compared to the rest of us, but they love the hottest trendy stuff within their conservative niche. Not everyone who goes to a prep school is a preppy. Preppies usually come from well-to-do families with respectable backgrounds and are accustomed to a life of privilege. Students who are not in the preppy crowd usually come from lower income families, often attending on a scholarship. Anyone who does not quite fit in with the preppy image or lifestyle will find it difficult to befriend one of them.
(This word is NOT to be confused with the word, prepper, which means something else.)

Although I attended a traditional prep school in New England, I was never a preppy. I lived on the poor end of the same street where many of my preppy classmates lived, but they, of course, lived at the upper end, where the big, fancy houses were. My mom and dad were divorced and I was only there on a scholarship, but the preppy girls all had dads who were highly paid professionals with careers as doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, and such.
I never wanted to be a preppy, because those girls acted so selfish, vain, pretentious and arrogant that they all just seemed too shallow and unoriginal to be of any interest to me as people. I guess and hope that the attitude of most preppies has improved since I attended that venerable institution of learning in the 60s and 70s.

Get the preppy mug.A group of girls wear most of them come from good families and know not to do things such as drink/smoke/do drugs/ have sex. most of them wear Abercrombie, Hollister, Vera Bradley, UGG Australia and can afford these things. Most of them are nice to others and do not judge. They can afford these things and just because you can not afford these things does not mean you have on every girl that looks good in comfortable clothes.

Get the Preppy mug.To me, a 'preppy' is someone who lives on tax-payer money provided to them by the productive members of society (business owners, laborers, farmers etc.), while all the time trying to pretend that they're somehow living a more upper-class or 'better' lifestyle than the rest. I would add that I suspect preppies are largely disconnected from having a relationship with or having any concept of God or morality (doesn't matter what religion).
I say that because they obviously have no concept of right and wrong, which is why they gladly do things that enrich themselves at the expense of others (lobbyists, lawyers, investment bankers on Wall Street, crooked vote-buying politicians, big-time CEO's sending American jobs overseas, journalists in the mainstream media doing the bidding of their corporate overlords by telling half-truths and spinning news stories, college professors that indoctrinate their students with liberal elitist attitudes, and the list goes on).
Why? All so they can perpetuate their entitled, elitist lifestyles that segregate themselves from the rest of society (boarding schools, Yale, Harvard etc. Rhodes Scholarships etc.) For God's sake, do you know what Cecil Rhodes was about? He was a globalist that believed in world government. Look it up. G.W. Bush, G.H.W. Bush, both preppies (and no, they were not real conservatives). Need I say more?

Me: I can't stand anyone who's a 'preppy'.
Socialist: You mean the people who 'get' how we need more social programs to help the poor?
Me: More programs? You mean after how well they've worked out (sarcasm).
