The Preppy Style is Back Again With Autumnal Vibes!

There is something very nostalgic about wearing preppy clothes even if it has been decades since you’ve heard the bell ring. It’s surely like living the same experience again. If you ask us, it’s pretty heartwarming for everyone. Loafers, plaid jackets, and preppy outfits aren’t new to the world, they were even voguish back in the 50s in the form of varsities. However, 2022’s version of preppy is less perky and more about how you carry the outfit. 

What is The History of Preppy Style?

It all dates back to the 50s when the Ivy look was considered posh and stylish- meaning anyone who looked like the alumnus of America’s top Ivy League colleges attracted eyeballs. By then, argyle sweaters, buttoned-down shirts, and loafers became the ideal pieces to dress up, especially in the US. Some communities in Oxford were fond of prepping up their style statement.

Influence Of Preppy Style on Pop Culture

Many tv shows like Gossip Girl and movies like Risky Business have inspired everyone around the world to embrace the preppy style to upgrade their looks. Imagine dressing like Blair Waldorf and sitting on the stairs with your friends; wouldn’t you feel classy? Moreover, the prep game of the girls in ‘Clueless’ was so fashionable that all of us only wanted to wear the same clothes. 

2022’s Wave of Preppy Fashion

A luxurious fashion brand Thom Browne incorporated the preppy style in their recent collections as displayed in the Paris Fashion Week. Jaden Smith and Ella Emhoff took their style to the next level with fresh and appealing designs. Apart from that, our favourites Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, and Hailey Bieber, have added preppiness to their looks with either their hairstyle or clothes.
