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.

someone who lives the preppy anime tradie lifestyle, is usually very aesthetic, enjoys watching anime and aspires to drop out of school and become a tradie. this style is extremely odd and there are barely any people who fall under this category of lifestyle. however those people are known to be successful in life.

people who wear vineyard vines, polo, lilly pulitzer, monograms, bow ties, hunter rainboots, j crew, ll bean, and sperrys. we go to private school that costs more then your whole family makes in a year. only live in maryland, new york (long island), Massachusetts, maine, and Connecticut. play lacrosse and field hockey. spend their weekend at the families farm riding horses or at the families lake house. we do not wear ambercrombie at all or pop our colors. boys wear sport coats with pastel color shirts a pair of croakies, and boat shoes. girls wear lilly dresses or j crew shorts with an oxford shirt on rainy days we wear a north face and a tall pair of hunters. we can be found driving our parents range rover, land rover, mercedes, lexus, or g wagon. do not call us stupid or uneducated because need i remind you we go to the best schools in the world and will eventually become doctors, lawyers, and business owners. we commit to play lacrosse at a top d1 school very early on. people are quick to judge but we are not that mean.

A student who plays sports. A student who cheats off of their friends to have a 4.0 Students who get Student of the Month every year. Students where the teachers think their perfect because they, play sports, get good grades, and are in student council. In my school the preppy kids wear sweatpants and Birkenstocks. They also don't belive that they are preppy, so I made this for them.
Dear preppy kids, I made this for you so you might figure out who you are.
I am not preppy, but everyone in Gossip girl is.
