Forget pleats and polos the way you remember them. This season, we’re enrolling in a new kind of academy.
Once upon a not-so-long-ago TikTok scroll, we stumbled into a style universe where Ivy League-inspired fashion wasn’t about stuffy dress codes or buttoned-up brunches anymore—it was getting a rebellious remix. Think East Coast elite but with a wink, where structured and polished silhouettes meet just the right amount of “I don’t care, but I do it in Prada.” Picture Blair Waldorf skipping Constance for a Vogue internship, or Rory Gilmore trading Yale blues for dusty rose Miu Miu. This is the new prep—less by-the-book, more by-the-vibe.
Welcome to Prep School Dropouts edition, where Miu Miu’s latest collections becomes the unofficial uniform of a crew too chic to care.
1. The Campus Queen Look: Technical Silk Meets Sporty Stripes
She strolls into homeroom (okay, the cafe) wearing the Technical Silk Zipper Blouson Jacket — proving outerwear can be sporty, glossy, and runway-approved all at once.
Paired with the Striped Jersey Top, she’s got that effortless cool that screams “I might be late, but I’m the reason this place has style.”
2. Crisp, Cozy, and Unforgettable: Mastering the Poplin Shirt & Wool Top Duo for Effortless Chic
Who says structure can’t be fun? The Poplin Shirt is crisp enough to color-code your entire mood board, while the Wool Top sneaks in cozy vibes. Wear them together for a look that’s part timeless prep, part runaway model. Whether you’re brunching or brainstorming your next big idea, this outfit has you covered in true luxury fashion trendsetter style.
3. Plaid with a Punch: How to Rock a Pleated Check Skirt with a Twist of Retro Rebellion
Ready to shake up your skirt game? The Pleated Check Skirt is classic prep DNA, but pair it with a cropped wool top or laid-back polo, and you’re rewriting the style syllabus. This is preppy rebellious look at its finest—ideal for anyone who loves a dash of 90s nostalgia mixed with bold, modern flair. Warning: may cause spontaneous confidence bursts.
4. Dreamy to Defiant: Styling Faded Suede Mules & Ruches Nappa Ballerinas for a Playful Edge
Slide into the Faded Suede Mules and instantly transform any outfit—think runway editorial meets sidewalk swagger. Want to dial up the fun? Swap in the Ruches Nappa Leather Ballerinas for a feminine yet fierce upgrade. These ballerina flats are practically begging for a spin on the dance floor… or a daring dash on campus (real or metaphorical).
5. The Perfect Sidekick: Why the Aventure Suede Bag Is Your New Go-Anywhere, Do-Anything Fashion Partner
Every rebel needs a trusty partner in crime—enter the Aventure Suede Bag. Soft, slouchy, and totally luxe, it’s big enough to stash your secrets (lip gloss, phone, maybe a rulebook to crumple and toss later). Whether you’re scheming your next outfit or just grabbing a to-go latte, this designer bag completes every preppy rebellious outfit with flair. Also, if you’re an introvert with a rebel mind, someone who spends hours in the library skimming through the brown pages, this is for you.
6. Bonus Look: The Polo Shirt Reinvented for Effortless “I-Didn’t-Try-Too-Hard” Cool
Remember gym-class polos? Forget them. The Cotton Jersey Polo Shirt in dusty rose is here to steal the show—no sweat required. Tuck it into a pleated skirt, let it drape under the silk blouson, or simply rock it on its own. This is the rebel’s version of a wardrobe staple, ideal for those “off-duty model” moments.
