When I think of Preppy I think of all the things I adore – Lilly Pulitzer, Navy and White Stripes, Pink and Green, tennis, Sperry's, Puppies, Ray Bans, Jackie O, Vineyard Vines, cocktails, Frat Boys (because my husband is one) and all things monogrammed.
I am a Prepster at heart but this doesn’t mean you have to have the name Buffy, a house in Nantucket, attend a Southern University and wear Sperry’s every day to add a a little of the Preppy lifestyle to your daily life.
Fashion for Him
I adore a Preppy dressed guy. You can never go wrong in loafers, a button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and Ray Bans. The bow tie has also made a comeback and I’m a huge fan. I say if you can pull it off, go for it. I love the colored shorts and anything seersucker. My favorite places to shop for Josh are Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, JCrew, Brooks Brothers and Southern Proper.
Fashion for Her
Preppy styles for girls mean Blazers, Navy and White stripes, Flats, Pink and Green, scarves, pearls, Kate Spade, Tory Burch and of course anything Lilly Pulitzer.
For the Kids
For Jonah and Meredith I love JCrew, Vineyard Vines, Zara Kids
For the Home
Dark Walls, Lilly Pulitzer furniture, New England Style Architecture and anything Monogrammed.
Accessories
If the full ensemble is too much you can also add just a touch of prep to your daily style with sunglasses, shoes, necklaces, paper products, even your wedding.
Now I leave you with a few images of celebrities that exemplify the term “Prepfection”
Happy Friday!!
