Thrifted this coat today. How is my poorfag prep

>>11836497
Absolutely noyt
>>11838573
For you, good cop dude possibly wear a shirt with a smaller collar and button it up all the way. The jacket is too big for a loose fitting shirt. Maybe a darker blue too, follow the earthy tone of the jacket

Other than that rock some other shoes, you look like palewave attended a "bring your son to work" day

Brown jacket, brown shoes, brown belt, brown wallet, brown leather for a watch band

People might scold me for "matchy matchy" but whatever its just my opinion

>>11838611
>smaller collar
no no NO NO NO

>>11838573

Nice UNIQLO shoes.

>>11838570

that is way too salvation army looking

>>11838573
Shirt is great, pants are ok though I'd suggest a proper tailored cuff, and the jacket looks nice. I think it'd look better with blucher mocs though and a different belt (check out J Press or Leather Man Ltd)

Yes those are good brands. Don't forget shit like lacoste and the occasional vineyard vines piece. I'll get hate for saying it but not everything they have is terrible

>>11841996

desu don't buy one from an actual cricket store or somewhere that primarily does cricket sweaters. They usually have an obnoxiously large fit if you're skinny.

Instead, look for cricket sweaters from Brooks Brothers and ebay search cricket/tennis sweaters.

>>11841954

>>11846267

501 are pretty nice. Little slim on the thighs, so if you lift weights it might be a little constricting. Better than the 541's, fuckhuge calfhole that you have to pinroll, is baggy all around. Have to slim down for that one.

I think he might be suggesting that jcrew is prep for the masses: Ok quality. Ok trends. They're just kinda blah. You can get better made,USA made, garments for less. I think crew can be acceptable, just have to curate a bit more than with others.

I go to community college atm, but plan to transfer to a university in a year or two, can I dress slightly prep?

yes of course! Always dress for the job or life style you want. I transferred from a community college to a top 20 uni. anything is possible keep your chin up! You are not less for going to CC.

Decent alternative to Barbour bedale? It's just too damn boxy for me. I can't even handle it. Size down and the sleeves are far too short. I would get the Japanese version but that's impossible to buy where I am.

>>11854826
>>11853542
Not true, The Ashby is not made in the UK and the quality isn't there. You can tell if you feel both the bedale and the ashby. The latter is noticeably thinner.

If you're loaded, send it back to barbour and ask for longer sleeves, they'll do it for like 100 bucks

Go to America and buy a pair

if you can't afford that, you shouldn't be dressing prep as it is an exclusively American style

It's about being American, actually. If you're going to dress like an American you should be prepared to buy American shoes and not a crappy European substitute. I mean, it doesn't have to be Alden, just buy some fucking LL Bean loafers and get it over with, my grandpa has been wearing them since 1956.

It's very odd that Europoors want to look like us when they have perfectly good styles in their own countries. Sad!

Why is prep so associated with lifestyle and background when so many of the other styles that we discuss on this board are separate from this association? I hate this idea that you have to be an authentic trust fund babby in order to wear a style of clothing. That seems so wrong to me and completely antithetical to what I think style should be. Lots of people might wear certain brands religiously in order to be "authentic". Your idea of prep doesn't sound like style to me, it sounds like a costume or a uniform.

Now I'm a britbong but I like many elements of the prep style (relaxed chinos/loafers/blazers/tweed/sweatshirts etc). I don't think my background affects whether it looks good on me or not. Nor would brand affect that either. There are a million loafers that aren't Bass. To say that you must be "authentic" is poison to personal style imo.

>>11857983
It's not a costume, it's just clothes that many of us Americans wear every single day. To take a page from tumblr's book, threads like these are cultural appropriation, plain and simple.

>cultural appropriation
But that's how fashion changes over time. Do you really think that suits are an American invention and not descended from 18th century military uniform? That many elements of prep are not descended from British country clothing?

Come on.

What this poster >>11857956 is saying is completely wrong. It's not style to tell someone that they need to wear a certain brand or live a certain lifestyle. Telling someone what clothes they need to wear and by which brand is absolutely a uniform. Whether you like it or not, what was once the clothes worn by east coast university students is now a style, to be interpreted and worn by people around the world.

Do you think Take Ivy should not have been published because it was by a Japanese man?

>>11858036
>Do you think Take Ivy should not have been published because it was by a Japanese man?
Come on now, that's literally not an argument, considering it's about the wealthy American students at those colleges who dressed that way their entire lives.

>to be interpreted and worn by people around the world.
Sure. I'd still argue that say, Alden, is the best choice for said interpretation considering its high quality and New England heritage. (I don't wear Aldens though, my cordovans are from a defunct shoe company that closed 40 years ago). Euros are free to interpret things however they want but that doesn't necessarily make it prep.

>>11858036
>that suits are an American invention
The sack suit is. And just because it's descended from a military uniform doesn't make it a military uniform.

Hence, you're free to dress however you want, but that doesn't make it prep.

>cultural appropriation

you realise the new england preppy style is derived directly from english countrywear right?

why do you think they all play tennis and golf and rugby and go sailing

hell, some of the staple preppy items are actually british: the burberry coat for example

Not very preppy though

Also who makes the best driving Mocs? I have a pair from BB and I love them but they're suede and a lighter tan color, so not very practical for this time of year

>>11862204
Navy may be the most powerful color in prep

Went Oystering and had to stop at the LL Bean outlet for fun. Ended up getting bean Mocs for $25 and the white shoes for $7.50

i strive for this type of prep; traditional, very New England based (Connecticut-fag here).

>>11842026
incorrect

>>11841954
I wouldn't recommend having too much RL these days, I noticed that a lot of hip-hop artists and lower middle-class people are flaunting it very inappropriately

>>11867510
most actual preppies have a hard on for everything english. more likely he's from elsewhere in the states and likes the style/wants to look wealthy

>>11867583
This,
Some of the most popular places are British. We have Grocery Stores, Boutiques, bakeries, and restaurants that us preppies love.

What sneakers are prepcore?

>>11867583
