j. crew

An actually preppy store, rather than an inaccurate emulation of the preppy lifestyle (i.e. A&F, AE, HCo). Has really cute clothes: preppy essentials such as bright polos, madras shorts, flip flops, oxfords, chinos and sportscoats for men and sundresses, headbands, and ribbon belts for women. The clothes aren't inexpensive, yet are of very good quality.

A&F shopper: this torn denim mini is like soooo PREP!
J.Crew customer (to friend): Honestly, the misconception these nouveau-riche kids have of our lifestyle is ridiculous. Let's go get some shopping done, though: the cable-knit cardigan I saw in J. Crew last week will go well with my pearl necklace and bright headband.

J. Crew

A high-quality clothing store meant for classy, mature adults. I don't know why people are saying that J. Crew is a preppy, bitch store. It isn't. They have really nice flip flops, knee-high socks, and cashmere gloves though.

I look classy in these Italian leather loafers, eh?

J. Crew U 

A nickname for Miami University of Ohio, a school that has a reputation for being comprised of mostly "rich preppy white kids" who look like they are from a J. Crew clothing catalogue.

"I decided to go to Ohio State because I don't think I'd fit in at J. Crew U"

Miami University Oxford, OH

Old stereotypes die hard. Just ask the undergrads here, and they will tell you that yes, "Miami is ‘J. Crew U.'": "The typical student is white, relatively wealthy, equipped with their parents' credit card, good-looking, and only seen in the hottest fashions." (We're serious about the fashions: "Students dress up for their 8 a.m. classes," one student claims.). But students are adamant that there are two "sides of the J. Crew U. stereotype. To be sure, if you look at Miami U. from the Goodyear Blimp, it is J. Crew U. If you looked at Miami U. under a microscope and saw students interacting in everyday situations, you would see another school entirely." One undergrad observes that "minorities seem to be in short supply." Another calls "this student body composition . . . self-perpetuating."
