Where do preppy women shop these days?

Some people actually are called Muffy, but fewer today. It's more of a retro 50's-60's name. I like Banana Republic and Brooks Brothers.

No . . . poser.

+1. Her look is ridiculously overworked. The antithesis of NE prep.

+2 total poser

Real NE preps are effortless and would never have a fashion Instagram !

NE preps don't strike me as overstyled or insta-ing about fashion. Southern preps, maybe.

Reese is a real life southern prepster.





Allison Williams is a real life northern preppy

That’s like some retro blog that could be from 2007?

Muffy?!? Really? Now that is a trashy, new money southern prep name.

I went to high school - New England prep school in the 80s - with a girl named Muffy.

Yes, but in no way does that make them authentically NE prep. I hate to make this about class, but they’re LMC Rhode Islanders pretending to be a lot wealthier than they are. I wouldn’t be half so judgmental if they were just like, this is who we are, this is what we like. But they borrow all their props and don’t pay to stay at the locations where they shoot. It’s just so thirsty.

You can't be serious. This couple is not LMC. Their taste and aesthetic is clearly UMC+. I scrolled through their insta, and they were invited to Brooks Brothers 200th anniversary celebration. Regardless of their origins, their prep credentials are solid.

No. Their huckster credentials, however, are impeccable.

Yep. They're LMC Rhode Islanders. He never attended college at all, not even Community College. If he was a real UMC+ prep, he would DEFINITELY have attended four year college.

+1. Major strivers. You can tell by how over the top everything is.

This is a guy who probably has never set foot on a boarding school campus or even the campus of Providence's private day schools (Wheeler, Lincoln), let alone an Ivy League Campus. Maybe one time he got lost in Providence and accidentally went onto the Brown Campus.

You guys are nuts. I WENT to a Providence private day school (Wheeler, Lincoln) and I think they are totally fine. You don't have to be a total ascetic to be a New England prep. And going to URI def does not rule you out of being part of that class.

Right- but now it's not a NE prep name anymore.

Draper James has some great dresses and high quality tops

Yeah, she's fallen from grace, but if you look at her style, hair (that simple shoulder/mid-length straight blondish cut) and background, Felicity Huffman is actually a pretty good example of northeast preppy.

Huffman was born in Bedford, New York, into a wealthy Christian family, the daughter of Grace Valle (née Ewing; 1921–2009) and Moore Peters Huffman (1910–1987), a banker and partner at Morgan Stanley. She's descended from the Peters Cartridge Company and King Mills Powder Company fortunes. Huffman attended The Putney School, a private boarding high school in Putney, Vermont.

Muffy is not a new-money southern prep name. It's an old, vintage nickname.

"Muffy" is a nickname. "muffy" is actually usually Mary, Margaret, etc.

Bitsy, Mimi, Bunny, Topsy, etc. are also nicknames. My family insisted on calling me "Mimi" when I was growing up and I hated it.

A friends DD just graduated from Putney. Isn't it very artsy/crunchy rather than preppy?
