ODF TIPS: PREPPY LOOK

 
Keep building your closet. As you get more comfortable with preppy style, keep adding other preppy items to your wardrobe.



     
  • Polo shirts
  • Oxford shirts (unlike polos, oxford shirts should always be long-sleeved)
  • Rugby shirts
  • Cable-knit vests and sweaters (traditional cricket sweaters)
  • A jacket or blazer (navy blue is a staple; try seersucker or madras plaid in summer, tweed or corduroy in winter)
  • Chino pants
  • Khaki pants (the prep equivalent to jeans)
  • Dark wash, unembellished jeans in a straight-leg cut
  • Bermuda shorts (khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, linen or preppy prints and patterns)
  • Skirts (khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, linen, preppy prints and patterns such as Lilly Pulitzer)
  • Tea-length dresses and summer dresses (in madras plaid, preppy colors, seersucker, or linen).
  • Tennis- and golf-inspired shirts, skirts, and dresses.
  • For girls: Ballet flats, top-siders (boat shoes), ribbon/canvas flip-flops, Rainbow sandals, and simple leather high heels and wedges in shoes. Avoid wearing socks with these shoes.
  • For boys: Wear classical loafers, leather moccasins, suede loafers, boat shoes (top-siders) or leather flip-flops. For formal wear, they wear leather dress shoes in black or brown.

SIMPLE STYLE, EFFECTIVE LOOK

Keep your look simple. Prep style is, at its core, made up of clean lines, high-quality textiles, close fits, and modest cuts. If an article of clothing looks particularly flashy, complicated or revealing, it probably shouldn't be called preppy.

KEEP IT SIMPLE WITH ODF

In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.

ODF GET FLORAL

Floral prints have thus adopted a more threatening, tougher undertone. The flower is no longer a delicate assortment of pastel-pink petals, but instead it is one that can withstand the harsher conditions of Autumn/Winter.
