Being a skele is suffering
I'm samoan, preppy or nah?
Well I mean I'm low key pajeet so I can't pull it off well
I'm Haitian, preppy or nah?
>>10937331
>>10937049
The answer is no to both of you my friends
You'll never, ever be preppy if you're not white and didn't go to a fancy school. Seriously. You'll look like a massive poser "b-but guys people won't notice", yeah, yeah they will and you'll look insecure as fuck.
I'd honestly rather wear gaudy shit like Hermes belts and Burberry scarves than trying to fit in with the rich kids. Besides there are a billion styles you could try. Don't get stuck on thinking you can be prep because it'll just look stupid as fuck.
>>10937404
hi kjp fanboy

do you mean private prep school or private uni or both?

Not really, but if you think it's cool just take inspiration from it and make it your own. And don't let /pol/-tards get to you. ie >>10937404

Stop ruining these based threads with your comical shitposting.
Moving on. I really cant wait to start wearing shorts again, picked up a few pairs of 7" stanton shorts from my local J Crew for around $20 each. Creme, Navy, and a dark khaki. Always love finding offseason steals.
>>10938218
Do they often have huge sales in stores because online shorts are 70
>>10938228
Not sure if it was just my specific store or just my area, but they still had tons of leftover summer stuff that was marked down to 50-60 percent off. Wouldnt hurt to give it a try desu.

Go back to r/streetwear
are you supposed to button ocbd shirts all the way the way up or leave one unbuttoned
>>10938774
Leave one unbuttoned
Otherwise you look like a hipster or a mod, neither of which is a good thing
>>10937404

>>10939097
I'm not him and I don't even know who KJP is. I do know that you'll look fake as fuck if you dress like something you aren't. It's the same reason whites look like shit with snapbacks, baggy pants and bandanas
How to wear this??? Got it for 3 bucks but didn't notice the half button thing going on. Is it kill? Ralph Lauren afton BTW
>>10939419
color and pattern is meh but you can wear this pretty much like a shirt
popover shirts are cool imo desu senpai
>>10939419
This really isn't preppy at all buddy
>>10939419
Not a preppy fit but some light wash pinrolled jeans with white low-top sneakers would be dope
>>10939372
Stop derailing the thread you autist. Nobody cares.
>>10939372
Preppy is not a single type of fashion you autist. It's pretty much traditional clothing that gives an impression, but yet remains classy. It's not tryhard. It is tryhard to wear university ties when you haven't gone to that university, I agree, but the trad/preppy clothing style is certainly not. It's traditional clothing with a modern and classy twist.
>>10940217
Different anon here. Prep is cancer, it is the 80s reinvention of ivy style with neon colors. Why does everybody say preppy? I dont think you autists know what you are talking about.
>>10940259
The prep you're talking about is the mainstream watered down version (aka mainstream like Hilfiger, Polo, Lacoste). Literally takes 5 seconds.
Should I wear socks with boat shoes? if so what type of sock?
>>10938632
>WASP from New England
I'm from CT and that shit is none existent nowadays. All the rich folks wear fratcore, "vineyards vines", and w/e richards tells them looks good.
The women are the worst. One fade after another.
>>10941125
*fad
>>10941068
There's this type of socks that are especially made for that
I wear them all summer
Can't understand how people wear shoes without sucks.
>>10941125
Same bro from CT also. I fell for the VV fad for a bit too when it was still new but it then turned fratty.
I do not want to dissuade anyone from trying out various styles for the sake of experimentation and finding something that really fits you. However as many people have noted, prep is a lot more than how you dress. Sure that sounds decidedly retarded but prep, even when done well, is essentially fratcore if you are outside of New England/upper East coast area.
Even if you mix your colors perfectly, have the right shoes, the right belt, the right sunglasses and the right look, it will look cringey in southern California. Entirely because it is evident just via location that you are in fact not the 'young Kennedy' that you are trying so hard to be. It is probably better to derivate your own personal type of prep based on where you are rather than reading Take Ivy and imagining your days strolling across the Prospect Gardens and comparing trust funds and sailing knots with your contemporaries. Additionally; As unfortunate as it is to say, prep is essentially 'babbies first fashion' for most people meaning that it is not nearly half as original or unique as the pictures of idyllic 1970s Dartmouth have you believe. That isn't to imply that you shouldn't do something because it is popular and trade out your VVs for a Julius shirt and assless chaps with your dick hanging out, but have no expectation of originality or uniqueness and be wholly content to blend in on fraternity row on any college campus in the United States.

Can someone explain to me the difference in style/time to wear for buttondown vs. non-buttondown collared shirts?
I'm a pleb but all I wear are Ralph Lauren Button Downs.
Recently I bought a lot of Brooks Brother's shirts due to these threads and found that one of the shirts is non-button down.
I've never owned one of these before.
>>10944581
Post pics
>>10944720
Here's one of them.
The dark blue one.
What do I even do with a non-button down collar?
>>10944724
It's a dress shirt
>>10944731
Never a casual option?
>>10944493
That's lame and tacky as fuck.
>>10944544

>>10944484

I live in Milford tho
>>10944743

>>10936908

>>10944981

>>10945178

>>10945187
Ivory
>>10945044
They are called critter pants
>>10945130
white if you're blonde. go Funny Games mode
>>10944724
These are dress shirts. You can tell by the pointy collar and the material
>>10945187
>ghost-pale
I just call it clear
>>10945223
The button downs can be worn casually.
They're normal OCBDs.
I was asking about the non-button down.
>>10945211
I'd suggest white then, unless you think you'd be wearing it in a more conservative setting in which case I'd go with navy.

where can I purchase some decent fitting chinos?
What brands have chinos that aren't TOO slim fit but just the right size.
>>10945576
Jack Donnelly is good. I got a pair in slim fit when they did their kickstarter. They changed the fit recently though, so I can't say about fit, but quality and styling are on point. I like the adjustable waistband, deep pockets, coin pocket, and longish rise.
PRL chinos are good quality as well, same deep pockets, coin pocket, acceptable rise, except no adjustable waistband.
no muffy pls
>>10945576
I have this same problem. The only jeans I can wear are Levi 541, basically for people who squat big, and I can't find a damn chino.
I hear good things about Bonobos but I haven't tried them yet.

>>10945576
I have some incotex chinos but in hindsight I regret the purchase a little. It's a little bit to tight around the crotch and the ass.
>>10941149
You break them in so they fit like a glove, instead of being a pussy and wearing socks with shoes designed to get wet
>>10945576
PT01 or PT05 if your budget allows for it.
Otherwise Entre Amis makes decent chinos with a good fit (pic related) and a much cheaper price tag.

Nah, I just said that prep is terrible.
Btw people who really got money let the quality of the materials speak for itself instead of showing it with a bunch of logos.
>>10946999
Switcheroo that Manchurian warlord duffle for a regular duffle, slap on an oldie Brooks OCBD, throw out the wop memestrap shoes for some Alden shelly cordovaroo loafers and ditch that double breast buttfudge for a Nr.1 sportcoat and then we'd be talking.
>>10945243
No they cannot

They're dress shirts and you fucked up thinking otherwise

>>10953070
Not him, I'm a not-prep from California (private school educated then went to UCLA because USC and Cal are dumb) but it's not hard to meet Russians. My dormmate is from Moscow and my girlfriend is diaspora.
>>10953177
>it's not hard to meet Russians
Sure, they're everywhere nowadays. My objection was more along the lines of WHY someone would actually WANT to hang with Russkies.
I've only met one who wasn't an obnoxious ass, and I dated her for a year and a half. Even she hated mother Russia and other Russkies.
>>10953199
Sounds like someone can't handle the banter
>>10953199
My experience with Russians are that they are much cooler and down to earth than westerners. Same goes for other eastern block immigrants. Obviously some are poor white trash tier, but their children are often really cool. Slavs integrate quick while also being productive.
>>10953253

Non iron rolls are too controlled and aren't really the "real thing". LE Canvas used to be good but they stopped making rolling collars.
