What are some preppy/Ivy League brands that aren't mainstream

If you're looking for high quality, take a look at Incotex for chino's and J. M. Weston or Church's for loafers other shoes. For tops I think vintage is often a great option, it will contribute the most to the aesthetic

vineyard vines
mainstream as fuck but it definitely isn't hilfiger tier

Drumohr, Johnston of Elgin, O'Connell's Shetland, Gran Sasso, Zanone, John Smedley etc. for sweaters.

Incotex, PT01/PT05, Entre Amis, Sartoria Tramarossa etc. for jeans/chinos/trousers.

Loake, Herringshoes, Carmina, Santoni, Enzo Bonafé etc. for shoes.

>>10777143
What about Banana Republic?

Ralph Lauren and actually Lacoste have good stuff sometimes.
Brooks Brothers, Gant, LL Bean, J Press etc are all "prep staples" so to speak

>>10777155
If you want mallcore you might as well just buy Polo Ralph Lauren

Ivy League with the most history is arguably J Press. I walk by the New Haven store on my way to work every day

Brooks Brothers hands down.

RL is honestly pretty good.
I didn't think much about Hilfiger until I impulse bought a pair of their navy chinos because they were cheap. They fit pretty good.

>>10781581
Barbour is country fashion, you'd be hard pressed to work it in a prep setting.

I agree with you on their sport jackets, yeah, but the rest of their items would only work in, as above, country fashion. Save perhaps for their ties.

Minutely valid point about the Harris tweed sports jackets
but they weren't popular in Ivy League schools in the 60s nor is it part of ivy culture now
In American Tradition magazines, the writers talk about a distinct style called "rugged"
Harris Tweed and Barbour definitely fall into rugged

>>10781687
that's what I was saying barbour and harris tweed are, country prep is different and so much nicer than city prep

Brooks brother is your best mallcore/preppy look at a non-designer level. If you want really nice preppy boy shit, look at Brioni, Etro, Officine Generale.

is lyle&scott prep?

What is the main difference between preppycore and fratcore? Fratcore has stronger colors, yes? Or what?

>>10785258
Yes and silly patterns.

I hear frats are leaning more towards slobcore these days, though

Preppycore generally contains more layers than fratcore.
>>10785272
Preppycore can also have lots of patterns, they are just typically less vibrant colors.
However, just because the colors are vibrant it doesn't mean that is isn't preppycore.

Basically fratcore is a watered down more generic form of preppycore.

>>10785307
So is your pic supposed to be frat or preppy? I have a hard time telling

>>10785342
Well they are degenerates so it's automatically fratcore

This is just an emotional response.

Why don't you make meaningful suggestions for things that preps actually wear rather than just insulting people?

Pic related what you call a "degenerate" with a billionaire happily shaking hands with him.
What have you done with your life, that you earn the right to insult people like that?

So why don't you show yourself, or contribute to the thread instead of shitpost?

>>10781698
>city prep

Thats funny because most ivy league schools are in the country. Yale and Columbia are the only 2 in the city.

>>10785384
There is no difference between fratcore and prepcore. Only the people who wear them. Therefore, a degenerate wearing preppy clothes is fratcore.

>post ur pic hurr
Post your pic fratfag

>>10777082

Also KJP looks fine, but his fit isn't preppy (PRL shirt, sloppy tie, etc)

I'm a medical doctor btw

>>10785397
>>10785397
Still no contributions troll?

There is no difference between fratcore and prepcore.
So this is fratcore?
>>10781933


Only the people who wear them.
The fashion classification changes based upon the person who is wearing it? That's new.


>There is no difference between fratcore and prepcore.
>Therefore, a degenerate wearing preppy clothes is fratcore.
You say there is no difference, then you describe how they are different.

What has KJP done that makes him a degenerate?

>>10785406
Medical Doctors can be degenerate. Timestamp proof?

Just because you are a medical doctor you think that gives you the right to call everyone a degenerate? If more people in the nation were like him maybe the country would be better?

>>10785422

2. Yes basically. What have you done with your life, fratboy? Are you KJP himself?

"we're 14, we wear high-end athletic gear so that nobody suspects a thing, we hide in train stations and beat up hooligan firms in the pre-cellphone pre-internet era where a group of kids in Sergio Tacchini, Fila, Lyle&Scott, Pringle, Stone Island, United Colors of Benetton, and Lacoste jumpers/tracksuits/windcheaters and pristine SL72s can attain legend status for their Saturday morning acts of violence; then afterward get up to Manchester for a Paul Oakenfold acid house set at the Hacienda

if you want to look preppy while doing sport, wear a tweed sport coat with ocbd, chinos and loafers.
Or you could just wear appropriate gear for sport and dress preppy the rest of the time.

>>10795128
A polo shirt and chinos/shorts if you're just casually playing with your friends
If you're actually on a team or something you would obviously wear your team uniform

thanks senpai

How do I pull this off as a darker skinned dude without looking like a stereotypical shitskin? I'm Iranian but thankfully don't look super gross other than a large nose

>>10796172
You trim and shave properly. Since you're Iranian and not Asian/dindu I think you can pull it off, you just need to stay away from the sun a bit and make sure you're not hairy.

>>10777123
carmina doesn´t belong there, way more expensive

>>10796195
Of course, proper trimming to make sure I'm not a hairy gross fuck is essential, that's already something I emphasize in my daily regimen. Why would you recommend staying out of the sun? I only ask because I swim regularly, and work as a lifeguard in the summers so I get golden as fuck about half the year. Would very muted, lighter colors offset this, or should I really just try to keep things as pale as possible, skin-wise?

>>10796209
I just said so because preppy is a very east-coastish white dude look. And my guess would just be that Iranians ran faster than Europeans, right? I know middle easterners with the same skin tone as me (Scandinavian) but they turn brown as soon as they step in the sun.

>>10796172
