In my honest opinion, it makes that guy look older, almost bordering on grandpacore, although not so much as the hipsters that literally raid their grandparent's wardrobe.

Then again, I really think people should wear whatever the fuck they feel suits their personality, as long as it's well fitting and has decent coverage (especially for the uglier people).

I'll be crucified for this, but I personally miss some of the 90's fashion that was going on, although a lot of it was hideous as well.

Really define prep.

Because there's this kind of prep, more along the lines with "ivy prep" and then there's the prep which is actually just #menswear (the bad connotation version) and then there's contemporary prep, which is more like what you posted.

Ivy prep, when executed appropriately, is cool - not my favourite, but definitely looks nice on some people. But a lot of people try to go too "heritage" or classic and end up looking like upper-middle class grandfathers with patent leather loafers and ill-fitting shirts, which the grandfathers can usually be fine in (because why should they even care) but the look doesn't translate with tryhards - that's more along the lines of contemporary prep. The menswear type stuff is usually better along the lines of aesthetically pleasing, but usually gets caught up in hype and trend, with exaggerated to the point of peacocking type of details. This is usually pretty bad.

Ivy prep, which is just the term I'm using for it (modern ivy league schools don't really look like that though, that should be kept in mind too) comes from being sensible and a bit more humble, but still having well-fitting clothing.

trying to relate amerindians with asians is the same as relating europeans with blacks. its so far removed that it doesn't even matter anymore, thay are hardly alike culturally and barely genetically. it's just them trying to connect some sense of nationalism with the up-and-coming part of the world. the theory they came from europe is generally also seen as just as possible, at least the eastern portion came from europe and the western from siberia.

The Solutrean hypothesis isn't taken seriously m8. The artifacts don't support it, nor does the genetics. Anyway, Amerindians share many features with Asians i.e.: sinodonty, hair structure, eyes, etc... I don't see how it can be a stretch to say they were able to grow fu manchus..
