Thats an interesting way of putting it actually.

Its menswear that invokes Ivy league and high society wear of the 30s-50s usually. Sometimes it crosses with Dandyism which is just more loud and outlandish.

Went to $40,000 boarding school for 4 years and these are the most accurate. The fucking Ralph Lauren ads really complicate an easy aesthetic. In the summer sperrys, j.crew shorts and pastel Polo shirts and Ray Bans. In the fall and winter just basic wool sweaters with shirt and tie underneath and wool calf length jacket. It's really more about attitude than anything else.

This, really

Ralph Lauren puts out 'fashion' type stuff that (whilst interesting) would look ridiculous IRL

Basically for prep you need the attitude first and the clothes second. It should look natural and unpretentious, as if you fell out of bed late for class and a candy striped oxford and chinos were the first clothes you could find

Also, "pure" preppy fits often come across as stuffy and try hard i.e. blazer/tie/oxford/chinos/brogues. Don't be afraid to just throw on some Adidas or a band shirt to keep things looking natural. I always try to keep a balance of preppy and modern pieces in every fit - I might wear a navy cable and oxford but rather than chinos, wear some slim acid washed jeans or shit

I'd say black tie, but that depends on if the gold one is tacky or not. So take a picture with it on and come back. Also, might want to try a larger tie knot.

Tie aside, your sleeves look kind of short and I can't tell if your watch is loose or not. Overall acceptable.

General dressing protip, picked up by way of a passage in The Flamethrowers: make sure the way your dressing, what you're wearing has something to do with you.

That's it. *Something* to do with you. A reason for *you* to wear it.

Sounds like you're onto it, but I'd add - don't look at it as a compromise. What you want to do is develop *your own* style, by choosing garments and assembling outfits that have something to do with who you actually are. May wind up looking like that guy; I don't know because I don't know you. May not. Find out.

That's a regimental. They're called that because they would bear the colours of the regiment the wearer used to serve in, preferrably with a badge printed on the wider stripes.

Gant always has shit on sale, so make sure to check prices "low to high" before you spend a ton on Gant.

Club Monaco is also owned by Ralph Lauren, but is younger and more modern. J.Press, Brooks Brothers, and Gant are good as well. J.Crew and Uniqlo offer prep staples, but are a bit played out at this point.

Instead of Prison Guard you should probably get Volksmarine officer tunic
Might be better to downsize slightly?
However I think it has shoulder padding and darts on waist so not very yankee prep/ivy.
