Thanks to Blair Waldorf and the ladies of the upper east side, plaids and everything preppy have gotten a big comeback. Let’s say ‘Hello’ to the trend of tailored clothing once again in the world of sugar, spice and everything in between (in Kristen Bell’s voice). Surely, the dressing is inspired from the Ivies and northeastern fashion but truth be told, you don’t have to be from Harvard or Stanford to rock this preppy trend. However, we’re not denying the fact that Ivies are the best places to get prestigious garments (and great education, ofcourse).
How can you playfully carry a preppy look?
Yes, we’re definitely thinking of the polos and blazers but this fashion statement can be styled in any way, be it your everyday accessories and more. You can even give it a Yankee twist and pop some prep that way. Ain’t got time for all the fuss? Get a well-knitted sweater and drape it around your shoulders like Gigi Hadid did in her sexy sporty look! In short, anything that’s crisp, polished and put together in a sophisticated way, qualifies for a preppy outfit. Yes you’ve got a lot of room to experiment here.
