Middle class strivers + its “safe” for people who don’t have any creativity

This. I don’t want to follow or shop for trends. I want to look put together but don’t care about the latest styles. I’m not trying to look old money.


Then you don't "aspire" to the preppy aesthetic...you're kind of living it...

Some people like to look like "Old Money".

Most recent annual revenue for Ralph Lauren was over $6 Billion.

But I think preppy comes in and out. J Crew used to do it but they got weird. Vineyard Vines is kind of a Tommy Bahama remix of prep.

I would say it's more out than in right now....hence athleisure/Lululemon.

It's a nice, "grown up" look.

Agreed on the Kardashian aesthetic. No thanks.

What look do you like?

Because I think it looks nice. I certainly don't like the Kardashian aesthetic

Maybe they just think it looks nice.

Why is it considered a status symbol of sorts?
