[quote=Anonymous]There are varieties. The preppy handbook does a good job laying it out—the book is mainly about WASPs (as opposed to what’s now associated with the preppy aesthetic). I come from horsey WASPs and their look/demeanor/style is very different from city WASPs, especially in NYC or even DC. I think what they have in common is a dislike of excess or “tackiness,” a DIY kind of toughness thing among the women (the women are generally not shrinking violets but expected to be strong), a natural look as far as hair and makeup, and a frugality despite their wealth that can border on cheapness.
