[quote=Anonymous]I think preppyness has become sort of an aspirational thing moreso than a lifestyle , people adhere to it because of its presumed image and cache as opposed to a genuine connection . This has led to the proliferation of generations of poseurs who have co-opted the shit out of it just to use as a marker of a certain socio economic status that feeds into a barely disguised superiority complex .
                   I mean outside of New England and particularly the CT,MA,RI corridor , who can genuinely say they have a connection to it? Hell even in New England you'd be hard pressed to find a whole lot of people walking around in Vineyard vines, TuckerNuck, or Lilly Pulitzer . These brands have made their names by dressing people who are desperate to look and feel like people they never were . 
                It's amusing to say the least to see people push their snowflakes through overpriced preppy high schools and colleges , only to have them end up in cubicles like everybody else . Provided they can actually hold down jobs
