“Mirrey” is a colloquial term used in Mexico to describe a young male of European or mostly European descent from a well-to-do Mexican family. Mirreyes of Jewish and Lebanese descent are common, as well. They are more commonly referred to as fresas.
During the first quarter of the 2010’
s, a mirrey was characterized by his well-groomed appearance, half buttoned up shirts, wooden roseries/Star of David necklaces, and Italian leather loafers.
However, as the second half of the decade approached, this ever evolving urban tribe began to dress down and take an interest in the environment. Although the more
conservative mirreyes continue to dress similar to what they did the early part of the 2010’s, the modern mirrey has taken a more bohemian approach to his appearance. Now, a mirrey can be identified by his
wavy, tousled
hair, Birkenstock sandals, and the Tibetan Mala around their
neck that they got on their last yoga retreat in Goa.
Mirreyes are extremely traditional and will eventually
ditch whatever trend they’
re following to marry well and have good looking and well dressed children who will appear in society magazines.
A
true mirrey is well spoken, educated and would actually
never use the terms “paps” or “mirrey” to refer to his friends. These terms are usually used by the
wannabe working classes who aspire to be, what they would call, a Mirrey.
