[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of this is spot on. I went to a ne boarding school In the mid 90s ( not wasp); Old j crew roll necks Barbour jackets and barn jackets Duck boots and llbean backpacks Dull colors No to low makeup Air dried hair, mostly straight Sun kissed look but never fake tanned Women A bit horsey. Looks like you could be on the crew team Men a little bit femme I the cut of the clothes White ball caps and unkept hair in the boys Taste in music like phish or old crew medicine show [/quote] This. All of this. I wouldn’t say actual WASPs are any kind of fashion icons. They do have dresses for parties but they’re not anything special. The women I know are trim but with athletic builds. They look like they could still play lacrosse or swim or jump on a horse. [/quote] No, I feel like this was also everyone at the catholic school I attended in the 90s. [/quote] Catholics definitely ape the WASP look. [/quote] Exactly who are they aping? Nobody has mentioned a real WASP yet in here, its been all Catholic and Jewish women. If this is such an iconic obvious look, why has it been so hard to identify one actual WASP who embodies it? One thing I know, skimpy bikinis, are not part of the "look." [/quote] Yes they have. See above on Brits. Think about where the "Anglo-Saxon" in WASP came from.[/quote] I know what it means. The examples given in here show that many people have no idea what they are talking about.
