preppy

A way of describing a person or outfit. "Preps," or the people who are "preppy," can generally be seen in light pastel colors given expensive sounding names such as "sea breeze" and "nantucket red." It is also another way of describing the gay population of New England.

Person1:"Look at that guy wearing the pink shorts and yellow polo shirt"

Person 2:"Ha, I bet he and his boyfriend are really preppy"

Prep in Pink Shorts: "Take that back! These shorts that I bought with my fathers money probably cost more than you will ever make!"

Preppy

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 Hilfiger
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. Preppy is not just a style, it's a life style.

"Who is that girl and why does she dress so nice for school"
"That's Alli, she's preppy so she almost always HAS to dress nice"
