prep

It is a common misconception that "prep's" are girls who are sluts and obnoxious, and boys who are self centered assholes. You are mistaken. These are adjectives describing one's personality, and being considered a prep has nothing to do with personality, but lifestyle. Anyone could be described as above, but a prep is one who.. 1. attends a private, preparatory school. These schools most commonly prepare their students for an Ivy League college and have a very good reputation. 2. Although a prep could live anywhere, they are most commonly found on the East Coast, in states such as Maine and Maryland. 3. Prep's are active in sports. They usually play lacrosse, squash, rugby, or field hockey, or are members of a crew team. 4. Prep's usually come from a well bred, old money family. They live in houses and stay in vacation houses that have been passed down through their family. Common vacation spots are Martha's Vineyard, Bethany Beach, and Cape Cod. 5. Dress: Polos, boat shoes (top siders), loafers, grosgrain ribbon sandals, usually expensive jeans, khakis, sun dresses, monogrammed jewelry, and pearls. Usually dress conservatively. Brands include: Lilly Pulitzer, Ralph Lauren, J. Crew, Brooks Brothers, etc. Girls and boys do not usually wear designer items, except for jeans, although their clothes may cost just as much. Preps love hand-me-downs, thrift shop excursions, and bright colors. 6. Preps are known for having a very active social life, and as long as they keep it private and it doesn't affect their school life, mommy and daddy don't usually care. They are known for going to events such as horse races and field parties. Remember that preppy is a lifestyle, not a way to describe one's personality.
