Pardon me but I find the American preppy style to be rather...provincial

Whining is cheap and easy. Post your updated, imaginative, unconstrcting outfits on here for all to see.

I've never understood the desire to put others down to make yourself feel superior

Well, better that than being crazy judgmental.

What about the original sloane rangers, like Princess Diana before she got married? They shared a lot of the aesthetic of the original preppies--headbands, sweatervests over blouses, plaid skirts, etc.

But then what am I supposed to wear while I’m listening to Vampire Weekend

In OP’s defense, I think this is a reaction to the weird DCUM obsession in weekly threads like this one:

I know some people who are lets just say, very fastidious about their appearance. They pay particular attention to how they dress; the brands they choose to wear, the way they style their hair and an emphasis on portraying the aesthetics of upper class preppy people. They are always overdressed and want to wear expensive clothes. Meanwhile they do not have important jobs or make much money. Some may not even have attended a 4 year college.

Erm, your post is provincial

The 13 year old is posting on DCUM again...

It is really just laughable at this point. To think that there is some urbane, well-dressed Italian legitimately posting on DCUM about their concerns about Americans' "sartorial" choices - and the specific subset of 'preppies' is the sole example of embarrassing pant choice. Come on, try harder teenager, you can come up with something more interesting or original.

My money is that this is a teenage poster, and some cute preppy junior lacrosse player isn't into them, so, they come on here to blast pink pants. Um, that's not it honey.

Better than the ridiculous Little House on the Prairie fashion the upper-crust in Britain and Europe have going on.

That’s also here with the Target ladies. Target has been trying to make homesteading in a prairie dress happen for two years now.

Also rich American women:

Honey, those are just sundresses…

No, it’s true! Rich American women dressed as little girls is definitely a puffy sleeved thing. It’s awful.

Sounds like the same person.

Why do you think anyone cares what you think?

To me it sounds like an AI mimicking a human.

Oh that's nothing, OP. Take a look at that particular flavor of provincial-religious preppy French and you'll die of fashion boredom. My Godfather is their official spokesman, complete with tweeds and little neckties.
