W2c a preppy watch, accidentally bought a jpress strap and unsure of what type of watch would look preppy with it.
3rd for go away KJP fanboy
>>10886235
Keep it simple and on the <38 mm size
Mechanical is better, so you could try going for an Orient Tristar. Seiko 5s in the price range are not the right style.
You could get a Timex Weekender or a J Crew Timex/Bulova, those are both nice. Just don't get a digi and don't get a diver and it won't be that bad.

Lands' End is actually pretty good for the price range, it's way better than like Hilfiger or Nautica.
RL Purple Label isn't really mallcore, it's too expensive. Blue Label is the mallcore one desu
Penguin, besides their one heritage polo shirt, isn't very preppy. No complaints about their polo, it fits well, but I don't hear great things about the quality of their other stuff
>>10888168
it's just copypasted
i haven't really checked desu
Glad to say I started 3-4 prep threads on here. We need to start appreciating these beautiful things in here. I have 4 that I have been rotating since October and they are amazing.

>>10888440
You can style them preppy pretty easily. I wear mine over a blue/pink oxford with khakis and a pair of loafers all the time.
>>10888440
Honestly famo I feel like half of these threads scream newfag and the fits are often borderline frat and generally feel like poorfags trying to look like they come from old money. Smfh

W2c preppy bicycle?
is anyone familiar with Orvis? would they be considered prep? its more like hunting-core i guess, but i have a pair of red nantucket khakis from them with embroidered fish on them, would definitely say theyre preppy. quality is pretty decent too.

Nothing wrong with wearing polo shirts to play tennis or squash, which is a very preppy thing to do. And polo shirts don't get preppier than Lacoste or a white Fred Perry.

>>10895222
>>10895238
I have a pair of Tretorns and a pair of Sperry canvas shoes but neither really look like those, unfortunately.
I'd recommend Brooks Brothers, J Press, and O'Connell's. On the cheaper end there's Bean and Lands' End.

Yeah and it's been worn by mods for decades now. It's like saying you look prep because you're wearing a pink polo from Ralph Lauren.
>>10895448
Who gives a shit what mods wear? Don't button the placket and wear khakis and you won't be confused for a mod.

>>10897045
>Can canadians be prep/trad?
Anyone can be prep/trad. It projects a different image based on what color your skin is though. europeans look like they go to yale, indians usually look kinda tryhard, middle easterners can look prep or just try hard depending on skin color or mixed race. For asians it has a different implication and might end up looking like korean fashion.
Nationality doesn't have much bearing on if prep works for you. I'm not familiar with canadian schools, but this is mostly a university student and upper class "was in a fraternity" kind of look, or at least has that sort of implication and meshes with that kind of person. In america and england that type of person is pretty prevalent, so I'd expect it to be in canada too. Prep is a lifestyle.
In general you just need good taste even if you're set on a look.
How rich do you have to be to pull off the look wihtout looking like a tryhard?
>>10897727
Rich or not you can end up looking like a tryhard, there are people who pull it off while paying for their own way through university and people who cant pull it off and have family boats. its about taste and being comfortable with what you're wearing.
Typically, I will wear black trousers, turtleneck and a trench coat in the cold, a shirt, sweater and jeans, or a shirt with dark jeans, white trousers or black trousers in warmer temperatures. I wear a lot of Thom Browne, Brooks Brothers and J.Crew. Although, I find it incredibly hard to find a pair of clean, white and preferably canvas shoes, does anybody have any examples? Thanks.
>>10897743
>>10897727
Prep is a strange thing to talk about on 4chan because it doesn't fit the standard almost cosplay-esque threads we have here like lunarcore, goth ninja, or any of that drapey pale shit. I guess people pull that stuff off but in general unless they're musicians or artists or something it doesn't seem that congruent with their lifestyles. prep is kind of formal in that its pretty much accepted everywhere except the projects.
I'm not saying you should dress one way based on what you're doing with your life but its always interesting to talk about how they relate and what someone's choice of clothes says about them.In the past everyone dressed a certain way on college campuses but now you have pure math majors with tattoos, dyed hair and piercings.
I don't have a developed point that I'm making because I don't spend much time thinking about this but I definitely appreciate the more serious image projected by the prep look more than high tops and snapbacks.
What is the general consensus on tassle loafers? I have a pair of brown tassle loafers in leather I purchased from Cole Haan a while ago, they're weaved leather on the toe so they're rather comfortable in the summer.
>>10895602
Is this recent? The dress code I mean
>>10898248
that's from Take Ivy

source: I took that picture from my copy of the book
>>10897045
Seconding this, I live in Sweden and think I may look tryhard as fuck. The upper classes are massive americaboos though and copy prep religiously to the point where the average upper class swede dresses more preppy than the average upper class American. Although Swedish prep is a bit different, it's usually this
>medium long hair pulled back behind the ears
>jeans are more common
>is more inspired by skiing than American prep
>>10897727
>>10897743
I honestly think you need to be at least upper middle class and have went to/grown up in certain circles without looking tryhard. I went to the finest boarding school in the country as a kid and you were pretty much forced to oblige with the dress code.
>>10898410
My viewpoint is a bit skewed because I go to a university with a largish fraternity scene, but I don't go to an ivy league or an east coast school. I'm second generation american on one side of my family but we're well off and my life choices put me in a situation where prep fits.
There's kind of a checklist with university, background, upbringing, and personality that determines if someone could really pull off the look. Imagine if jfk wore af1's or if one of the bush's tried to pull off punk or something, it just wouldn't make any sense. I think personality and what you're doing with your life has more impact on what's appropriate or not than your parents income though.
Anyways boarding school is /fa/ as fuck, what school?
>>10898460
I went to Sigtuna boarding school in Sweden. It was pretty cool other than that the older students would use the younger ones as their bitches to do various chores for them.
>>10898410
Do you think public school is a dealbreaker?
>>10898681
depends on the person, university, and area.

true.
The prep style finds its origins in 20th century new england where basically the extremely rich white folk, usually WASPs, ran the whole show. They had an extremely lavish lifestyle with country clubs, sailing, golfing and basically anything that people consider "high class white person activities". This is why you have old iconic tailor shops in the new england area and places like the nantucket yacht club. Apparently everything was a plutocracy with a good dose of nepotism. Long story short life was great for that caste but everything was generally corrupt and all that.
The style was iconic of the ivy-league schools and became more mainstream, at least throughout college campuses, around the country during the 70's and 80's.
Basically the style's origin story is what you'd expect and in some ways the style represents a desire to keep that lifestyle alive, but its popular amongst a much larger crowd just for how great it all looked.
tl;dr: it looks fuckin sick dude yolo wear whatever the fuck you want, and if you want to own a yacht one day dress like it
I hate that I will never own these slippers

>>10900770
Wear
Whatever
You
Want
>>10898886
Ehh, sure. On my campus there are a lot of Asians who try and fail hard at looking preppy because they fall into 2 or 3 categories. First are the fratheroes who wear pink and backward caps and think they are prep, and second are guys with ear piercings and spiked hair who think a sweater makes them preppy. Then there are sweatpants, polo shirt, and sandals types.
Then again there are some I see that pull it off great. Prep works well on any ethnicity so long as you do it tastefully.
Only brand I know
That can do what they do
Can someone explain what the difference is between camp mocs and boat shoes?
They look the fucking same
>>10900861
Camp mocs are laced straight through the tongue via a single eyelet while Boat shoes have the classic derby flaps with two eyelets
Don't sweat it nobody's going to complain if you have socks with your boat shoes unless they have severe autism
>>10900130
>>10900137
looks like a common wool crewneck. You can find those anywhere.... and judging from the lack of fuzzy, it's probably not shaggydog and more like lambswool or cashmere.

>>10901606
Mostly the pants are too long and the color fighting for the spotlight.
>>10901678
I mean aside from the pants being a little too long I think it's a siqq fit
I actually like the color of the pants desu. It's hard to pull off bright red pants like that without looking like a frat boy faggot
>>10901752
The overcoat is also too long and in my opinion conflicts with the color of his pants and blazer.
It "works" just not as well as it could.
>>10902053
dude needs to button his collar. the overcoat is a little gaudy for prep as well but it works.
Don't get hung up on all the subtle little rules of prep unless you're actually out boating with a bunch of rich new englanders or hanging around people who really know their shit. You don't even need to wear an OCBD or have natural shouldered (unstructured) shoulders on your suits and blazers to be "prep" in most peoples eyes.
That being said, ralph lauren is considered to be a bastard brand and is generally for plebs. the horse isn't a status symbol, its an image of classlessness.

It looks like you got that picture from the /r/navyblazer sidebar. I recommend that subreddit for good inspo and info about prep culture
>>10902124
don't crowd it though, the subreddit is only what it is because of how few people subscribe to it. basically a secret club when compared to most fashion blogs or websites
>>10902131
I lurk there and it's pretty boring. I think it could use more posters.
>>10902182
If these threads become a regular thing I don't think it would be a problem to have it posted here. Some of the content there is pretty lame, and some a little cringey. I'd laugh pretty hard if anime reaction images started appearing.

Haha, I actually really like the two you posted here. They seem hard to pull off though. Maybe gaudy wasn't the right word. It's easy for someone to take a piece like that and let it overpower their outfit.

>>10900821
No, prep essentially embodies white (European) culture. Other ethnicities wearing it are simply borrowing the culture, and it always looks a little awkward. Like white people wearing streetwear.
>>10903012
You can always not dress with flashy colors if you don't like them. Tough concept I know.
Cheapest prepcore shoes? No boat shoes please, I already have too many.
>>10905171
Amazon has some korean fashion shoes that go for about 25-35 dollars.
"Suede Lace Up Platform Shoes" or "Suede oxfords"
They aren't actually oxfords but they look relatively preppy and are very cheap.
Maybe someone more into the prep scene can tell you if they really fit the bill.

1940s prep w/ Barbara Hutton
does this count as girl prep?
>>10905915
nice idea, awful execution:
- trying to roll up jacket cuffs but they're not surgeon's sleeves.
- watch sucks
- jeans look poorfag, or maybe they have some shit design on the pockets
- belt distracts
- shirt far too short (or appears so anyway)

Too modern, check navyblazer for more trad style.

I agree, most GTH pants stop at simple patterns and call it a day, having embroidered dogs and birds like that looks like frayed holes, which looks homeless.
>>10906034
Yeah I'm looking back at my folder for "different" stuff that isn't posted as much
Even if it's not traditional, I think it's still in the prep range

That grey on grey isn't helping either
>>10906051
It could still be considered prep, but at the very least its colorway is relatively modern and cold.
Most of the prep style has a moderately warm tone to it and active undertones. It should fit with the basic lifestyle implied by the prep scene.
>>10906061
maybe. I think there are similarities but keep in mind that the american cut and english cut suits are two different things. Then see the forest for the trees.
Dressing in your own prep-inspired style isn't a crime.
