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.
