I ask about it to avoid it. Not a plus for us. It's a helpful descriptor when trying to figure out fit.

Ah, PaleoConPrep. You've been quiet, and the parents out here have missed hearing from you. Any update about your plans?

at this dude. such a wannabe and obvious poser.


All the above brands are vomit inducing.

I know prep school kids love Lilly but that's vomit inducing too.

All style, no substance. (And the style sucks).

At least if you're gonna go prep, get the quality stuff - Barbour, Brooks Brothers, the higher end Ralph Lauren, Eddie Bauer, Lacoste..

Preppy isn't even rich anymore. All the rich kids my kids hang with dress hipster-grungy-casual. Preppy is a try-hard middle class style imo.

Lighten up, folks -- sometimes a polo shirt is just a polo shirt.

It is fine to wear to sporting pursuits. It is so stinky to wear walking around town.
