i hate it when sweaters run that small, i think the idea of showing off your belt is kind of stupid. people will notice your belt one way or the other, no need to flash it.

The Vineyard Vines Whale Oxford.
Unironically the best OCBD I have found. The fabric is substantial and well constructed, it has a good collar roll, and rarely wrinkles beyond a slight rumpled look. I was pleasantly shocked.

not if you live in the east coast. Layering is the key to being prep during the colder seasons; wearing button-down or polo under a wool or cashmere pullover sweater (yes, you can wear a polo under a pullover so long as it matches.) and to top it off, a peacoat or a bomber to keep you warm. Other coats include L.L. Bean or Brook Brothers field coat

How many people on ivy league campuses actually dress prepay?
Early decision to Cornell, legacy admission as well

>>11990491
Very few. We've discussed this in other threads but scrutiny towards Ivy League schools' admission practices combined with liberalization means that most Ivies are really not any preppier than any other school with a low admission rate (as they are reluctant to let too many in). Actual rich boarding school kids largely go to places like Georgetown or various liberal arts colleges, from what I understand, though I'd bet any decent school has a small share of the prep school set.

Congrats on Cornell, by the way!

Yes but unless you're Prince Charles you should never wear more than one of a boutonniere, pin and handkerchief at any one time.

Depends on school. I went to Dartmouth, which is on the preppier end of the spectrum, but few kids actually dressed regularly like the guy in your picture. Most students wore a mix of bean boot/outdoorsy/hiker wear with some prep sensibility. Plus, dressing super preppy everyday is just not that practical.

>>11990509
I see what you're getting at (ivies trying to be more progressive -> increased focus on underrepresented applicants -> fewer slots for rich overrepresented applicants), but the ivies are still very much hubs of wealth. I've never been to Georgetown, but I have visited a couple of the similarly selective liberal arts schools in NE, and their students are no more prep than Dartmouth's (usually even less so).

You could be right.

preppies don't care about grass stains
adds character to your clothes. sitting on the grass in your family's estate on Nantucket is super preppy
besides grass stained pants means you can get money from your dad to get new pants. that stingy fuck wouldn't want his son to look like a hippy, and you'd jump on any opportunity to spend his money because you hate his selfish guts and he has more than you could ever spend anyway

Wrong, this is sad and low tier if real but mostly just the fantasy of jealous povs
The real case is either *) It's the help's job to get the grass stains out and anyway if they can't you can just buy new pants because your dad loves you and neither of you could possibly blow through the family money buying pants anyway, and he was the one who taught you how to dress, he wants you to be happy and look sharp, or *) your dad would get a bit pissed ate the waste but still doesn't want you to look like a hippie and only cares for the principle of the thing anyhow, it's bad to trick old Dad that way but you gotta have those new pants.

The first one is top prep old money style, the second is more like new/semi new money stockbroker's kid but went to the right schools style.

Should shirts always be tucked in?

also how long should they go? should they be a tighter fit than a t shirt?

Vineyard Vines and Southern Tide don't ship to the UK, is there a 3rd party outlet or any similar brands in the UK?

What does /prep/ think of Banana Republic chinos?

Also, is cuffing your pants /prep/?

>>12005366
dress shirts are longer and should be tucked in, sport shirts can be either.

>>12007622
>tapered
not typically, the rest is true though

>>12005738
Even as someone who likes their clothes, I have to admit VV makes you look like some nouveau riche frat, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're going to college, but it also isn't true prep.

>tfw people keep mixing up prep and ivy style.

Prep: Bright colours, madras, nantucket red pants, overall print polo shorts, colourful shorts in the summer, plaid shirts, popped collar polo shirts etc.

Ivy: Muted earth tones, fuzzy sweaters, blazers with elbow patches, Bass Weejun loafers(also Prep) generally the idea of Ivy league schools

If interested in Ivy style, take a look at the book Take Ivy, the pdf pages are all on the internet and has some true golden age ivy league style images. such as pic related.

Is there a rule of thumb for when to wear v-neck vs crew neck sweaters or is it personal preference?

crew neck is less formal and more classic ivy/prep
but it's mostly personal preference

>>12009148

Lots of options, great quality, and not outrageously priced.

>>12010918
Yeah. I've seen people wear OCBDs under them too. Try that

Prep to me comes off as the Starbucks scene of the "fashion" world.

About to get an office job, any tips on attire?

>>12011567
I personally would go with a sweater, ocbd, chinos, and brown leather shoes (type depends on how formal your dress code is).
Works with and without a tie.

>And when it came to shirt collars, Kennedy mocked his brother Robert in the press, telling LIFE, “He’s still wearing button-down shirts; they went out at least three years ago,” and told friend and confidant Paul Fay that his button-down collars were “too Ivy League.”

keep the hair, hope your ears grow back, shave daily and don't take photos with your mouth open, those shades are disgusting, get a novelty nautical/hunting tie, don't wear jumpers that are not 100% wool or crisp cotton, get some mustard/tan/slate/terracotta/maroon/green/blue/anything but black trousers in a similar fit and get a simple dress watch/iphone
