Preps aren't what everyone seems to think on this site, they arent the popular whores at every hs who wear reaveling outfits and shop at AF, hollister and those stores, being preppy(the adjective form) isnt about where you buy you clothes and what you wear, its about how you act and your overall lifestyle they wear Basic Polos usually bright or classic colors, slacks(khakis, plaids, seersuckers), occaisionally jeans, in the summer cargo shorts and shorts similar to the pants they wear, ribbon belts, for shoes we wear birkenstocks, topsiders, penny loafers, and occaisionally classic type sneakers (ie old tennis shoe type sneakers) ou clothes are usually bought from J. Crew, Vinyard Vines, Lacoste, B.Bros, and if we must shop in any of the mall "trendy party prep" type stores we shop at AE which is the most classic and preppy of those (AF, HCO, Aero) A prep is always courteuos, kind and respectful, they are the kind of people that grandparents and parents look at and say" hes a fine young man" a preppy lifestle consists of living in a nice community and contrary to popular belief we dont always live in huge houses and you'll never find us living in homes labled as mcmansions, our homes always have archetectural value and are always tastefully and classicly decorated, in our garge you will typically find a car such and a volvo, vw, audi, bmw and occasionnaly another european made car, we participate un lifelong sports such as crew, golf, tennis, sailing, swimming, and sometimes lacrosse and most importantly WE GO TO PREP SCHOOLS, day or boarding What most people have to come to realize is that prep is a lifestyle enjoyed by a fortunate few of us it isnt a clothing style, it includes how we live, how we act and what we do

Word originated from northeastern preparatory school uniforms. In modern use, refers to teenagers intrested in upper class clothing and materialistic goods. "Prep" attire includes shirts, polos, ripped jeans, and such. Cheap "knockoff" prep brands include Aeropostale and American Eagle (polos, $20-$30). Medium prep brands include Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch (polos, $30-$50). True prep brands include Ralph Lauren and Lacoste (polos, $65-$80). High-end department stores, such as Nordstrom's and Bloomingdale's often carry real "preppy" clothing. "Prep" refers to the way one presents themselves. Many such preps will often "pop" their collar. Many believe this looks stupid, but the polo shirt was invented by Renee Lacoste, and the collar was designed to be popped to protect the neck from the sunlight while playing tennis. A common misconception is the stereotype that all "Preps" are dumb and ditzy. Although many are snotty and dumb, many are nice and intelligent. Female preps can often be associated with the word Jap (Jewish American Princess).
Non-prep: You spent $80 on a new shirt?! Prep: Yeah, its really nice! Non-prep: Ugh, you are such a prep!

A male or female who generally attends a private school or attended a private school as a child. Preps typically come from wealthy families, but are not flamboyant with their money. This term origininated in the Northeastern United States. Preps play tennis, golf, lacrosse and field hockey. Preps often attend country clubs and are well-mannered. Despite popular belief, true preps do NOT wear abercrombie, hollister, and american eagle, they wear Polo, lilly pulizter, lacoste and other such brands.
That prep over there in the lilly dress went to Hotchkiss for tennis and is on her way to Princeton. She grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut but she vacations in Nantucket.

A prep is NOT someone who shops at A&F and not just someone who wears collored shirts. Prep is a lie style. You can't just decide to be it one day. You are born into it.
