How to adopt the preppy look ?

    Accueil > FASHION > Trends

    It is often said that everything passes with time. And yet, every year, the preppy look is still just as fashionable as ever. For going to work or going to a party, it brings elegance to your outfits. If we are still so fond of it, it’s because it has been able to redefine itself and adapt itself to trends throughout the ages. The preppy look of the old bourgeois years is nothing like the one we know today. Discover the essence of a successful preppy look..

    Preppy look : possible clothing combinations

    BCBG (Bon Chic, Bon Genre) is an expression used to designate people with a classy style of dress, a charismatic personality and assertive behaviour. Originally, this style was linked to values shared by social groups with high incomes. In particular, it was largely found among the French bourgeoisie.

    The preppy outfit combines elegance and fun. It’s not a question of wearing overly busy outfits or a simple superimposition of clothes. On the contrary, it’s a style that finds its perfect echo in the popular saying: the most beautiful things are in the greatest simplicity. For example, you can combine a waistcoat with a top, or wear a blazer with a shirt. However, for a successful preppy look, outfits alone are not enough. You also have to think about colours, shoes, patterns and, above all, accessories.

    Classic shirts on canvas trousers

    The preppy style requires classic outfits. White jeans and dashing tunics are among its most basic pieces. Oxford shirts, polo shirts and sailor suits are also part of this style. Forget t-shirts altogether, they have no place of their own in a preppy outfit. In winter, light jumpers are the best way to have a preppy look. In the latter case, don’t forget to make the collar of your shirt stand out above the jumper. Failure to do so could be seen as an insult to other preppy fans. It would be the perfect look to go to the brunch.

    As for the bottom, you should prioritize canvas trousers. Simply because they are suitable for both festive events and professional gatherings. They give you a style that is both formal and casual.

    A successful preppy look also requires a careful choice of shoes, so opt for shoes that are classy and elegant. For example, you can wear boots with thin laces. This will make you look chic and casual. This can be complemented by socks from Scotland. These socks provide comfort and elegance and will help you to show off your shoes to their best advantage.

    Choice of colours

    Good chic good style has specific colour requirements. For a successful look, you should choose white, purple and navy blue. There are also dark brown, emerald green and burgundy. If you’re more of a fan of bright colours, red should definitely meet your expectations. Needless to say, harmony should be the order of the day when choosing colours.

    Patterns for more elegance and fluidity

    In a preppy look, you must also take into account the illustration patterns printed on the clothes. In this sense, tartan patterns are undoubtedly the most commonly used. You can find them in shops selling clothing of Scottish origin. And if they don’t appeal to you, you can always turn to Vichy or houndstooth designs. These are smooth checked cotton canvas fabrics. To make them, the weaving thread is first dyed. Only then is the actual weaving done. This ensures that the resulting pattern will never crumble.

    Indispensable accessories

    Accessories are not just there to complement a dress. They’re used to give more value to your style, especially when it comes to sporting a preppy look. Men in particular should be careful when choosing watches, sunglasses, ties and belts.

    Wearing a watch and sunglasses

    A watch will help to sublimate your outfit. However, you should opt for watches in discreet colours so as not to overload your outfit. So avoid anything extravagant. Sunglasses are very popular with preppy style fans. Here, too, you should opt for non-excentric models. You should also choose a lens shape that best suits your face. When it comes to colours, avoid colours that are too bright. Choose glasses with neutral tones: black, grey, etc.

    Wear a belt and tie for more elegance

    The ideal belt should preferably have an ornate buckle. The buckle should not be too big or too bulky. As far as colour is concerned, opt for sober colours to remain elegant. And don’t forget to add a tie for added sophistication and to look impeccable at all times.

    PREPPY : Behaviour is just as important

    As we said, preppy isn’t just about style of dress. It is also a lifestyle and it involves behavioural habits. A preppy person is always neat and tidy. In particular, a touch of perfume is essential. He is also a person who is very concerned about the hygiene of his hands, feet and face, nothing is left to chance.

    Most preppy people are wealthy. But they don’t like to talk about their wealth. They are very reserved about their financial situation, even if they always look particularly well-groomed. You won’t see them judging or criticising other people’s tastes and clothing styles either.

    A preppy look for whom and for what occasions ?

    Executives, office workers, in-store salespeople, etc., we can all opt for the preppy look. The only condition to get into it is to enjoy it. Don’t go for the preppy just because people are talking about it. It could make you uncomfortable. In addition, the preppy style can be worn both on a daily basis and on special occasions. Of course, only sports are not in keeping with the preppy style.
