You don't "try" to dress prep, it comes with the territory. Quite simply, if you're not in the upper middle class or above strata, then you can't pull it off, lol.

>>11132581
How so?

Wondering what the athletic ivy look actually looks like? Check the brands that are doing it right now

>>11132592
Thanks. I'll check those out

>>11132589
I kind of agree. What I'm saying is all I see is frat vineyard vines type stuff, while I'm looking for a modern interpretation of the classic prep look

>>11132613
Trad magazines from Japan - particularly Free&Easy - follow contemporary ivy revivalists

>>11132589
fucking this.

and since you're here asking how to dress prep instead of having your dad/uncle/grandpa teach you we can all assume you're not part of the high society, just a pleb trying to cosplay rich kids.

just don't. it'll look really out of place in pretty much any setting

>>11132589

sad but true. I'd at least have some prep stuff but I really cant afford it rn

>>11132633
Dandy looks way worse at least Dartmouth tees, RC shorts, and beater sneakers are a passable look regardless of income

Define prep. You don't have to go to Brook Brothers to get super nice clothes. The problem is most people today would rather go to a sportwear store and buy some tees and basketball shorts than trying to look respectable. They think it's try-hard, old fashioned, dressy, etc. Tailors probably don't even exist in their minds

>>11133377
I agree, but I don't think the fact that most people see it as try hard should matter

>>11132633
My grandpa taught me the basics but I still come here to learn more since it's a bit weird to dress like a 1950s Ivy Leaguer at my school.

>>11132578
lol I had sex in the hammock next to that boathouse once

>>11133725
You don't have to wear a blazer you know. The rest is fully acceptable by normal standard.

is this prep? going to be my main summer inspo

>>11133377
Where are these pics from

Am I wrong in assuming prep is just menswear for university babies not wanting to look like dad yet?

Tbh at the core it's just button ups trousers caps and boots/leather shoes pretty standard shit

>>11134906
From the book Ametora, I think. It's on Amazon.

You're wrong. They're different. The menswear that you probably have in mind is the GQ type like super tight fitting, low rise, faggy looking crap on that magazines and reddit mfa. Prep/trad is more conservative.

pic related is menswear

i can't believe this is even a thread oh my days

>>11135274

>pic related is menswear

U trying to ruse me senpai?

I'm talking about regular clothes that Normie dads buy at the department store. Not prancing boy band faggot /fa/shionista wear.

Post a pic what you have in mind. The menswear pic look nothing like what are usually posted in these threads.

>>11132589
Sure, but I've dressed what people call prep since my private school days and still like these threads because there's always a new wrinkle to add. It doesn't hurt my feelings is someone on here makes a fool of themselves dressing like a granddad at their trailer park barbecue.

>>11135372
since the priv school days rah rah

>>11135288
Well what do you think looks good?

>>11135205

Tennis sweaters are pretty cool

"Preppy" kids love feeling like they are part of some special club. Something about being a private school faggot goes hand in hand with douchebaggery

Post some summer prep inspo please

is this considered prep?

>>11140813
It's just their confidence combined with your own biased perception because you're jelly and class-anxious.

>>11141525
I think so. Looks good

What are some good shorts that don't cost like 80 dollars (like RL and BB ones do)?

>>11142277
There aren't any that I know of. BB 3 for 2 is the best deal you're going to get on acceptable quality new shirts.

>>11142351
I'm asking about shorts, as in short pants.

>>11142428
Oh lol, I'd say J. Crew is usually the answer if you want a less expensive alternative to something you like from RL or BB. I have a couple of pairs that I like but have had to quit wearing since I started lifting and my quads got too big. Dunno if they have other fits. That said, I don't like their button-down shirts which is what I thought you were asking about.

>>11142277
Definitely J Crewchino shorts

Can anyone link me some prep jackets?

>>11142798
Barbour and Patagonia all the way.

alternatively this belt if not that one

both Orion Leather belts

>>11141525
Some might have issues with the jeans, but I think it looks fine.

>>11144117
Yeah, in fact it's probably the only thing prep that wasn't inspired from the Europeans

>>11144263
Lacoste is the only preppy brand tho

i got a pair of scottish linen shorts from j crew and they are absolutely my favorite thing to wear. j crew has added a couple more linen pants ive seen recently and they are really good. the worst part about j crew though is that if you buy enough from their your entire closet turns navy blue or some shade of blue. i hate finding a piece i am crazy about but realizing the last thing i need in my wardrobe is another piece of blue/grey/bluegreen clothing

>>11142798
what kind of jackets. like shit you wear to dinner? or casual stuff? or something you can be active in and not worry about tearing or getting a bit messed up?

>>11146155
Justa casual jacket

>>11142806
>>11142819
Thanks my mates

>>11132613
What about wearing the same old clothes, but with tattoos, modern haircuts, piercings (not 59 fucking piercings, just 1-2)?
Or are you really.going for the trad look?

>>11140073

that's a cricket sweater actually

>>11145867
nah, barbour is, too plus a lot of the inspiration comes countries like italy and England.
