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.
