Why do people here aspire to the preppy aesthetic?

[Anonymous]

Why is it considered a status symbol of sorts?

[Anonymous]

Maybe they just think it looks nice.

Because I think it looks nice. I certainly don't like the Kardashian aesthetic

[Anonymous]

It's a nice, "grown up" look.

Agreed on the Kardashian aesthetic. No thanks.

What look do you like?

WASPs.

Lack of creativity. No personality = WASP

Didn’t we just go over this?

I like my personality to be my personality. Not my clothes.

Some people like to look like "Old Money".

Most recent annual revenue for Ralph Lauren was over $6 Billion.

But I think preppy comes in and out. J Crew used to do it but they got weird. Vineyard Vines is kind of a Tommy Bahama remix of prep.

I would say it's more out than in right now....hence athleisure/Lululemon.

I like the preppy look because it's basic and I'm not fashionable. I can look nice and styles don't change.

Clean organized and safe

This. I don’t want to follow or shop for trends. I want to look put together but don’t care about the latest styles. I’m not trying to look old money.

Then you don't "aspire" to the preppy aesthetic...you're kind of living it...

Middle class strivers + its “safe” for people who don’t have any creativity
