Well, most of us are Americans. If we started dressing in the attire of cultures from our travels many people would consider it pretentious and try-hard, or cultural appropriation.

You sound like a real peach. Eww.

Better than the ridiculous Little House on the Prairie fashion the upper-crust in Britain and Europe have going on.

That’s also here with the Target ladies. Target has been trying to make homesteading in a prairie dress happen for two years now.

Also rich American women:

Honey, those are just sundresses…

Maybe not now, but this would not have been an unusual sight around the canals when I lived there in the late 90s; this look was much, much more popular there than it was back in the states. RL Polo shirts, Levi’s, Woolrich, and Allen Edmonds boat shoes were hugely popular, and Italian friends and family traveling to the US always left room in their suitcases so that they could by these “prep” brands back from the US.

So yes, not only can I imagine it, I can look at my photos from the streets of Milan and actually see it. Lol.

Preppy is American. It's not for everyone.

But why it is necessary to put it down? It doesn't hurt anyone to dress preppy.

+1. Plus, it is intentionally provincial.

Did you just time travel from the 80’s?

Thank you for virtual signaling your global aesthetic.

What the heck is the American preppy style? I thought that went out in the 90's.

Pardon me but nobody has been doing American preppy style for at least 10 years

You are correct.

I have never really understood American's obsession with and aspiring to look preppy aesthetic in their sartorial choices. I think the look is dated, constricting, unimaginative and very provincial. To me it gives me a sense that someone has not traveled very much beyond America or certain American enclaves and is not very sophisticated.
