Is there a less creative and more boring fashion genre than prep? Honestly it's so formulaic and predictable. Its like, here are the 5 items you are allowed to wear as a prep. Here are the 2 pairs of shoes you have to pick from

Actual oldguyfag here browsing /fa/ at 3am for god knows what reason. I got heavily into clothes during the mid-late '00s when we were in the midst of the vintage/Americana/heritage/whatever bullshit revival and Take Ivy was the bible and vintage Brooks Brothers and J Press were the shit. Made so much money thrifting around the Boston area and reselling on eBay.

I had an amazing Sero tattersall buttondown shit in a thin cotton poplin that had the most unbelievable collar roll. In fact I think I still have it but it's got one tiny little stain on it that wouldn't come out even with heavy oxiclean. Nostalgia'd hard from your pic.

I spent hours pouring over Japanese magazine scans and blogs like Heavy Tweed Jacket.

Usually I would say frat, but that doesn't sound like the fit you're going for

Anyway, to pull of that fit you described, wear sneakers instead of boat shoes or loafers. And by sneakers I mean leather sneakers, not athletic sneakers

[Anonymous No.12365480]

[Anonymous No.12365576]

Prep Essentials

Shoes:
Tassel loafers
penny loafers
horsebits
brogues
oxfords
derbys
Wellingtons
Duck boots
brogued boot or similar dressier style
drivers
boat shoes (avoid cliches)

Tops:
Oxfords
Madras
seersucker
flannels
clean poplin

Pants:
cords
jeans
chinos (khaki is a colour you plebeians)
go to hells

Suits/sports coats/ blazers:
Tweed jackets
Navy blazer
navy suit
grey suit

Sweaters:
Clean colours (greys navys greens creams)
break it up with some patterning or cabling
always wool

Ties:
bowties if necessary, open neck looks nice, but have fun when the time comes

Now remember class is more important than money. Saving money is more preppy than ostentatious displays of it. If you don't come from money and aren't well bread don'd bother. A straight back, polite smile, and a clean shave will take you far. Polo blue or similar scents work nicely. If you need advice on being preppy you aren't doing it right. Also snazzy colours are a secret trick by true wasps to weed out the nouveau riche. Now grab your duffle bags and set out with your insecurities about not actually being english, and only doing a year abroad at oxford.

Oh and you better own a retriever!
