[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of the NYC kids who attend Dalton, Collegiate, Trinity, H.Mann, Spence etc are absolute ANTI-preps.  Don’t own a thing that is preppy, would never be caught dead at Murray’s and think Shep and Ian are tools.  “Preppy” is not just old money or old NE money it’s old money plus a lifestyle.

The folks that live in NYC, shop at the Beretta Gallery and have horses in two or three states, are another story.  [/quote]

Of course. Not everyone who went to those schools is preppy, but in order to really be preppy, you have to have gone to a school like that.[/quote]

You didn’t say this?  [/quote]

I did. There are schools like that in Baltimore, but there are many fewer of them than in the NYC & New England areas.[/quote]

The schools you are talking about might have some preps but they are not the cool kids or the predominant kids.  Again, Robert Chambers and the 80s left the building a long time ago. [/quote]

The NYC are the only preps poster contradicts him/herself pretty readily.  [/quote]

Care to address either the dictionary definition or the Wikipedia entry I posted above? [/quote]

Seriously?  Actual preps have moves well past your citations.  To wit:

Again, that’s all about clothes.

The dictionary agrees with me that it’s as much about schooling/pedigree as anything else. I don’t really care about your random websites.[/quote]

It’s about lifestyle more than anything.

Upper class lifestyle has EVERYTHING to do with schooling & pedigree. That’s my entire point.[/quote]
