Answer 3

Ahem, well back in the day as it were there was a book called "The Official Preppy Handbook" by Lisa Birnbach. Your library may still stock it. Very 80's but very accurate. A prep is still a prep. Lacoste shirts (collars worn up), deck shoes, sailing lessons, pink & green color schemes, sun-streaked blonde hair and lots and lots of cashola!

Answer 4

1. preppy

A true preppy is someone who:
Wears, but is not limited to, Polo, Lilly, Brooks Brothers, Lacoste, LL Bean (ie duck boots), ribbon belts, prints (ie cords with embroidered whales, palm trees, etc), sweaters tied around the neck, collar always popped, looks neat and put together. Hair ribbons or ribbon headbands, pearls, and other classic jewelry pull the look together. Preppies are partial to monogrammed and engraved items (ie tote bags, oxford shirts, jewelry, money clips, etc). Colors are always brite (favorites include pink and lime green). Preppies may not always match EXACTLY but they are always coordinated. Hats are worn (ie polo player, Lacoste, Brooks Brothers), but they are unique- not designs you would see in the mainstream and the "mall".
Preppies often attend prep schools (ie Middlesex School, Governor Dummer Academy, and Belmont Hill) followed by New England private colleges.
They are confident and unafraid to express their own styles and be daring in their fashions. Preppies vacation on Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Delray Beach, and on the coast of Maine. These vacation locales are places their families have been going to for years, and have histories there.
It is a common misconception that preppies are snobs. Many people view them as unapproachable, and as a result mislabel them. Preppies are not as rich as people may think they are, but they are often well off. They buy into classics rather than trends, and don't change their lifestyles with fads.
Preppies tend to have bizarre connections with other preppies they meet, always finding mutual friends/ family and people that run in the same circle.

Preppies don't:
* Wear tight, skin exposing clothing (ie fitted Abercrombie sexual tshirts with tight flared jeans)
* Limit themselves to mall shopping and chain stores. They gravitate towards long-established classic stores and boutiques unique to quaint New England towns.
* Wear heavy makeup and endless hair products. The phrase "less is more" is a preppy creed.
* Glue purses to their arms, especially when going to school. Lip gloss and if need be, a wallet, are thrown into tote bags along with books.

Answer 5

A prer would be in my opinion a person who makes-fun of people that are different. There are many preps in my school and they make-fun of me because I'm a little over weight.

Hope this helped

Answer 6

The look:
High-end clothing or just more expensive clothing than your peers. Ripped jeans are big among them at the moment.

The attitude:
Happy.....annoyingly so. Rude and disrespectful to those lower in class than you.

Answer 7

Stereotypically it's someone from a well to do background, who is also clean cut, dresses neat, and has a high success rate in school and work.
