Southern fratbro here. I typically stick to fit, but I sometimes wander over here. I feel like our boards are neighbors or something. But anyways, I digress. This style of prep or "frat" is going the way of the dinosaur. Outside of elite prepschools in Atlanta/Charleston/Raleigh this style is seen as too "tryhard." Formal wear like this is being dropped in favor of less pastel colors, more cooler tones (khaki, white, navy, as opposed to pink, cyan, and light green), with an emphasis on ties instead of bowties, and slacks instead of shorts. As for everyday wear pic-related is all but forbidden, most of us /frat/boys favor a more laid back style, emphasis on outdoorsy brands. To be truly "prep" or frat wear clothing brands of the following
>Patagonia
>chacos
> kavu
> mountain khaki
> collard greens
(This list is not comprehensive, they're are other brands)
While the previously "frat" brands like vineyard vines, southern proper, and southern tide are still acceptable, their use (outside of tshirts, hats, ect) should be confined to formal events only, and pastel colors, bowties, and the eponymous salmon shorts should be avoided.
It seems to me that /fa/ typically tries to dress in a Kanye West type vein, and this is fine for most of the US board users here, as they (i beleive) live on the west coast and urban centers. Only attempt this fashion if you attend a southern university or live in the south east. If you're looking for inspo in this particular vein of fashion look up @oldrow on twitter, just try to avoid the look of the guys wearing ripped up jorts and beer brand tank tops. Those are costumes for themed parties, and should not be mistaken for /frat/shion.
Good luck bros.

And prepschools != college, so you aren't a goddamn fratboy, at least in the traditional sense.

But you're not wrong. My limited experience with that scene recently confirms that people are getting a bit self-aware and pulling away from the extreme prep look that used to be more abused. I'm aware of no such rules, though.

Wym? Most of our freshmen pledges that dress as [pis-related] our from private prep-schools in the Raleigh triangle area. They arrive all wearing vineyard vines button downs and 6" Ralph Lauren salmon pink shorts. Now they all dress like i pretty much said in my post above. I attended a private catholic highs choir and that was how everyone in our very large prep clique dressed, myself included. It was like a damn uniform. Now in college the trends are heading into a different direction. Don't wear rap Lauren slacks, wear mountain khaki. Don't wear rainbows, wear chacos. Don't wear your VV fleece, wear your Patagonia snap-t. Stuff like that.
Prepschool does not equal college m8.

Hahaha, it's always fun to watch this demographic. Ivies always have "those kids" who shoe up from a prep school dressed in some obnoxious shit and find out that they got a little too eager clothes shopping before going to school.

Then reality hits them like a goddamn brick and they're wearing sweats trying to power-study Orgo and realizing that they weren't all that bright in the first place.

No, it's the literal opposite of /fa/.

However, you will most certainly get laid and get a lot of compliments from people on campus. I used to be into southern prep when I first got to uni (private school back ground my whole life, in a frat, etc) but I kind of grew out of it. You'll have fun while dressing like it though, OP. The choice is yours.

>Patagonia standup shorts are the essential shorts. 7" is the best inseam, 5" ONLY if your work out and have decent quads. Stay away from chubbies. Kavu, mountain khaki, and Columbia pfg half moon shorts are great to add some diversity. As a general rule, never own shorts with a tight crotch or and inseam lower than 8"
>Mountain khaki is pretty good starting point for khakis/slacks, but there's no definite brand for pants. Southern proper and other brands in this vein are just fine. I recommend mountain khakis due to the fact they're fucking indestructible (triple pleated, triple stitched seemed, double ply cotton duck fabric ect.
>As far as shirts go, the regular frat brands, such as vineyard vines and southern proper are fine as far as tshirts go, and highly recommended for formal occasions (button downs) but try and get some Columbia pfg shirts, Patagonia shirts, and collard greens to make up the bulk of your wardrobe. Bow ties are still in, but marginally so, neckties are making a comeback, go for solid striped and paisley, avoid the cute little microprint VV sail boats and shit.
> for outerwear, Patagonia is the go to brand. The snap-t is the most hallowed fleece, but the north face is still acceptable. If you're trying to not be as "basic" as everyone else buy some mountain hard wear or marmot gear. Personally I own a Patagonia snap-t, better sweater vest, and mountain hardware rain jacket.
> for footwear the Sperry topside (full leather, no crazy colors) is the essential basis. For tennishoes the new balance 990v3 is a classic, but owning some Nike free runs is fine as an alternative. As for sandals, rainbows or chacos. Rainbows are the classic typical flipflop, and while they're uncomfortable af when you try them on in the store, they are leather and break in quite easily. However chacos are more and more popular, and if your do a lot of outdoorsy shit, get them.
Best of luck to you bro.

Think of it this way: you'll be a big fish in a small pond. It's not hard to look like impeccably dressed when you're being compared with people who buy whatever some 40-something Belk buyer decided to throw on the rack.
