I want a hoodie like this but picrelated is an older model and sold out/unavailable.

Any recommendations for something similar?

>>11653350

Excuse you dude?

>>11653350
Only wear if you are built, if you have anything less than 15 inch don't get this.

>>11653510
In the netherlands this is conciderd preppy. I also play fieldhockey, i am a "kakker"

>>11652864
Could someone pale with light hair wear the sweater on the right?

>>11655222

Copped a double breasted brooks navy blazer for 200 bucks recently

>>11655296
Not a huge fan of double breasted stuff but that's pretty cool

>>11655222

>>11656843

Is prep dead?

>>11656401
Zara, H&M, America Today

>>11656879
No, it evolves

>>11654837
no

>>11656742
>not having blue hair and red pants
what's wrong with you

>>11656879
We must keep it alive

Just copped this Alexander Wang cardigan at a thrift, can't wait to wear it this fall :^)

Team USA's opening and closing ceremony fits were /WASP/ af.

>>11660070
FUCK OFF EUROPOOR REEEEEEEE

>>11660304
it looks like shit

>>11660328
that's the point

>>11655222
those things are so fucking comfy. I have one of the 200 weight 'lightweight' ones, might pick up one of the regular 300 weight ones sometime

>>11659484
i dont think that's very prep but still looks nice
nice police

Preppy boots suggestions?

>>11653350
holy shit leave

Posting some proper insp, since nobody else is

>>11655222
good job /frat/ as fuck

>>11654819
Unlucky in the Olympics lad. We still deserved it tho ;_;

what does /prep/ think of my fit

>>11662350
tuck shirt collar under sweater collar

looks better than sticking out

can a peacoat be /prep/

>>11662350
everything too tight and shit shoes

protip: stop buying fast fashion

>>11662350
Awkward collar game, silly short pants, and seemingly wrong size shirt.

>>11662350
Extremely weak jaw

These pics are from a Japanese book dedicated to the style and wardrobes of students across Ivy League colleges, not sure what years these images span. I know Ivy style and Preppy are different but they are quite similar.

Ivy focuses more on neutral woody colours as opposed to the super bright colours preppy fits are associated with.

Here's a link to a website that holds a bunch of chapters from that book and a bunch of cosy pics with great inspo.

>he doesn't blue his hair to look top distinguished
Are you one of those fags who doesn't plan to live past 30 or some shit?

requesting the image of the Prephet

This may see like a bad question, but w2c good plaid shirts. I see a lot of nice shirts in inspo pictures, but can't seem to find any good ones when I look. Gonna need em for this fall

>>11652676
I live in Texas, fall isn't for another two months

>>11663361
A plan to an hero at 30 sounds like the way to go.

>>11659484
how do you wear your cardigan? I just copped a Zara Mens cardigan, just like yours at a nearby Value Village for 4$, and I don't know how to wear it without looking like a fag

>>11662376
anything maritime is preppy

>>11664078
i dunno pretty fucking impossible. this is my favorite example

>>11656366

>Has literally never been to New England when the leaves are changing...

W2c something similar in black without paying an arm and a leg?

>>11660088
Except none of those look white at all

can facial hair be /prep/?

>>11660809
w2c anchor buckle?

>>11652864

Why live?

>>11667458
because you have a responsibility to keep this style alive. who knows? maybe you'll attract the right kind of qt with it.

>>11660088
D..do you know what wasp means anon?

>>11665320
cos
uniqlo

>>11660088
Those outfits are cartoonish and outlandish. Shirts with the designer's emblem emblazoned on them are so garish with the posible exception of lesser known ones. Also, I think the large pony has out lived its novelty.

>>11668017
>>11665341
Yeah, I know what WASP means. I said the fits were WASPy, not the cats wearing them.

Here's from the opening ceremony.

>>11668027
That jacket actually is from cos but only comes in navy and grey. Checked uniqlo but they didn't really have anything similar.

>>11663335
Oh shit, it's Team Pocket.

Question:
Can someone who comes from a rich family but isn't rich himself pull off a proper prep style?

>no trust fund

>>11668813
Yea, why not

>>11666307

not the person you replied to but i dropped out of community college and now work in NYC and I always get asked if I went to a private school or what college did I go to lmao.

>mfw when I dont even dress that preppy, just well spoken.

>>11669684

>>11656879
Not while I still breathe. I have to rep the east coast somehow.

>>11669684

>>11670204
East Coast holding it down

fuck the geeds. can i get some ll bean boots/moccasin inspo?

also some prep/ivy-albums to listen to while walking to class

>>11669684
Who is KJP?

Also, is there a way to dress prep without looking like a cunt? I always feel out of place, even at an Ivy League. Streetwear is mainstream now so anything clean makes you look like a snob.

>>11671099
it helps to be confident in it, and don't define yourself via your clothes (don't lord your style over them).

feel free to look at frat guys. amongst the shit fits are the occasional street-friendly gem. I usually hang out with an artsier crowd, and I usually get compliments on what I wear from that group. also don't be afraid to do a fusion of styles (streetwear prep

in short, be a cool dude and not ugly. fit helps but is not required.

>>11671435
Can you post some inspo for non-pure-prep?

I like the idea, too, but prep is such a clean style with definite pieces it's hard to conceptualize something that is still -prep-.

>>11671452

>>11671458
This is actually pretty cool

>>11671684
It was a joke post
You were supposed to tell me to fuck off
This has badly misfired =(

can jeans be prep?

>>11671684
>>11671688
the autist saw a slightly vintage filter and some

what a fucking jag

>>11671099
>without looking like a cunt?
Relish in the looking like a cunt thing.

Clean cut girls at my uni seem to love me and I'm a beta with a shitty personality.

>>11668664
made me chuckle/10

>>11664117

>Be an alcoholic

>>11664117
don't make it the central focus of your outfit, but it needs personality without - again - being loud or looking like a 2010 hipster. paper-thin cardigans are for GDI's. take inspiration from wool jumpers of the 60s (>>11666810). shit needs to be comfy (comfy is a pretty common thing in the ivy/prep style).

>>11671099
I think streetwear makes people look like snobs.

>>11671458
can you really consider thom browne prep though

>>11672394

Any Europoors here willing to enlighten me about their version of prep style?

I'd be very interested to see a basic guide to BCBG (French) style and how it looks. What are the heritage brands for the French upper class?

So my favorite polos are PRL Custom Fit in Small. They fit me perfectly.

What should I order from LL Bean? Slightly fitted, Small?

>>11654819

>>11656244
I got one from pinewood

>>11671458
>>11671688
>>11671754
I mean it's not prep, but it's what the guy asked for. Less traditional prep inspired clothes. And Thom Browne is a respected designer. I wouldn't dress like this but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it for what it is

>>11663340
What kind of outer wear is the ginger guy wearing?

>>11673889
some kind of barbour coat i think

>>11673902
thanks. I have similar hair/ skin complexion. Do you think getting a red barbour coat would be a wise investment?

>>11672601
if you can take the wallet hit, order two different sizes. free returns n shit.

>>11665989
A mustache can be /prep/, everything else no.

Any boot recommendations?

>>11670846
w2c jacket?

>>11674100
Barbour

>>11674094
ll bean obviously is the quintessential preppy boot. I would argue chelseas are too metropolitan.

really the preppy footwear scale is like llbean boots -> boat shoes -> loafers

>>11676175
Cannot forget the coveted ll bean hunting moccasin (the bean boot shoes).

>>11652692
what's this

Anyone know preppy brands in France? Im living here and theres so much nordix/paris chic but nothing heritage based. Any help? All i can think about is lacoste.

>>11674094
Not sure if this helps but here

Opinions on rugby shirts over oxfords?

>>11653350
Why are you in a prep thread?

>>11654819
Field hockey is for the ladies, friend. Why didn't you play lacrosse?

>>11656366
Jesus fuck. Why are west coasters allowed on here?

>>11656244
Uni student here, Goodwill is your friend. Also helps if you have grandpa getting rid of old shirts. I've also found a couple Woolrich shirts in a thrift store when I was visiting family in MI.

>>11656879
No, just make sure to differentiate yourself from the southern frat look.

>>11660725
Bean boots, Red Wing heritage line (though be careful or you'll start going into workwear/rugged, which is fine, but may not be what you're going for), Chelsea boots, or any for of brogued dress boot too.

>>11662350
Tuck collar into sweater. Roll if you want to show off the forearms. Simply pushing them up like that just looks like you have an ill fitting shirt underneath.

>>11668813
Of course you can. I'm in that exact situation now.

>>11670999
I'm in Gamma Delta Iota, and I'm much preppier than any frat bro around the south. Frat guys normally aren't really all that "preppy" in the traditional sense.

>>11660792
Is that John Kerry on the left? Dang, I need to get a good navy blazer to wear with khaki chinos. He actually looks pretty dope.
>>11663355
Thanks, mate!

you're in the wrong thread, fuccboi

>>11655222
That's more frat than actual "preppy." I mean it is cute, in fact my gf has the exact same one...

>>11678841
well its mens so I guess she's a dyke

>>11679137

>>11679137

Nah, she just preferred the pattern.

This looks terrible. I don't care what decade this photo was taken in.

>>11671099
Model for a few prep brands, started his own weird bracelet/belt brand. His socials are neat for the brand, but you really can only take so much perfect white smiles and critter shorts before it gets bland.

>>11672446

Death to logos. Amen,brother.

Try to pick up some eyebrows while you're out, BOY

>>11682864
Your style needs work. You look like any other high-school/college kid right now.

Also where are your eyebrows? You might look kinda cool if you shaved your head.

>>11682864
That jacket isn't preppy at all.

>>11652864

On a related note, how the hell do you get the collars not look fuccboi-ish (like it does in pic) when wearing a sweater? I dig the shirt+sweater look, but the collar sticking out (as opposed to being straight) has some serious fuccboi vibe to me.

>>11682986
>Your style needs work. You look like any other high-school/college kid right now.

>>11683122
button down collar

hence OCBD (oxford collar button down) is the go to prep shirt

like this >>11660804

also get thicker sweaters with bigger collars

like this >>11670846 (that one is the LL bean norwegian sweater I think)

>>11683154

I feel kinda retarded for not thinking of that while there are 5 oxford collar button downs in my wardrobe. Just a bit tho.

Thanks brother.

>>11679728
I think you meant "getting as close to pulling off a bow tie as you can"

No matter how attractive someone is, bow ties always make you look like you're still "mommy's little man"

>>11683319
nonetheless, bowties are/were a staple of preppy style

>>11666008
Thanks. I can't tell if that was sincere but he is in fact my boyfriend.

>>11683395
Bowties are more of a southern prep/frat thing nowadays

>>11672446
Cool but wrong thread

>>11683144
Where do i cop a black patterned jersey like the one Tyrone is wearing?

What name should i search for?

>>11683470
Argyle sweater

>>11683485
Thanks senpai.

>>11683122
Buy a shirt made for that purpose.
The shirt im wearing there is very formal and strict. (Custom fit)

>>11682864
If you're black and want to be prep, wear loads of white.

>>11683154
While you're correct with the OCBD, just for future reference, it's Oxford Cloth Button Down, not Oxford collar.

>>11684428
oh whoops

>>11652676
prep only suits those with preppy faces as well

>>11684781
what's a preppy face like

>>11676272

>>11684428
who gives a fuck about an oxford collar?

ocbd is such a reddit-tier acronym

I cringe every time I hear it. Just say "oxford" or "oxford button down"

>>11684916
The acronym is older than you are, retard.

>>11685070
Prove it.

>>11682942
>>11683075

of course they can. They can pull off color combinations no white person could

>>11682942
>>11683075
here for example

>>11683403

>>11685168

Which Barbour should I buy? Got the became when I was in London last weekend and whilst the quality is fantastic the fit is so so boxy. If rather not size down since the sleeves go way too short..

>>11687955
Got the Bedale*

>>11687955
>>11687965
I'm thinking of getting a Barbour too. The bedale is classic but I've worn one so I'm surprised to hear the fit isn't that great. Pic related is cool though

>>11688033
What are you thinking of getting?

w2c nice cricket/tennis sweaters?

What's a nice backpack that could fit with preppy style?

cop or not

>>11688705
I was planning on only wearing it while the rest of my outfit is very quiet

just the sweater, something under it, khakis and brown top siders

>>11688708
that's as big of a logo as you should ever wear

>>11688693
VV is shitteir faux prep garbage marketed to insta bros who don't know better.

so you should probably buy it.

>>11688716
the American flag isnt a logo :^)

>>11688724
Why ask if you're gonna buy it anyway
I've followed the style since I was 17 and have been buying trad magazines since 2007...that doesn't fall in line with prep, it's fratcore dudebro attire

>>11688581

The pattern of the blazer?

Canvas sneakers can be preppy. It depends on what kind they are

Realise you're not a snob but a classy :^) gentleman. Also streetwear looks douchey af to me most of the time. I've been dressing more and more traditionally as I grow older and women always make a compliment, even the feminist ones.

Women love a clean cut, well dressed and mature looking man. Go for it son.

>>11671099
Preppy shouldn't be that clean though. It should be a little scruffy. Keep your hair and skin immaculate but don't be afraid to wear khakis and shoes that are a little worn in. Take inspiration from take ivy rather than advertisements from brands like Ralph Lauren.
