[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do they mean when they say preppy?[/quote]

Excellent gooming and a style that mimics those that actually attend a prep school. Duh![/quote]

Nope, to kids today it means girly. [b]Think Delia’s catalogue: pink, flowers, etc etc. [/b][/quote]

Have you ever seen a Delia’s catalog in your life? Serious question.[/quote]

I had to Google this because I seriously didn't know what it was. in my generation preppy meant literally to emulate prep school fashion and what those kids did - chinos, collared shirts, cashmere and wool sweaters, lots of color in the summer, cute sundresses, tennis skirts, etc.  Kids still dress this way at DD's prep school but the brands have changed from JCrew, Banana Republic, Abercrombie, and United Colors Of Benneton to Lulu, LoveShack Fancy, Altered State, and have added more accessories like expensive handbags and Stanley. Same thing different names.  So yeah, it's still a copy of what rich prep girls are doing. It's still fashionable and to mock it means you don't fit in for whatever reason.[/quote]

…ok? That has nothing to do with the comment you’re responding to.[/quote]

True. It was the one above it. [/quote]
