When it comes to the question of how “upwardly mobile” you are, all that matters is your bank balance.

I would argue OP and the Whole Foods/Apple PP are still "preppy" but in an almost self-parodying and try-hard kind of way way.


How is WF preppy?


I’m the WF/Apple person. I’m the farthest thing from preppy you could imagine. Preppy = Vineyard Vines and going to Nantucket. It likely involves playing tennis and golf, two sports I hate.

My hobby is playing rock guitar and collecting vinyl records.

I’m not sure what you mean by “try-hard”? I’m not trying to be anything.

you guys sounds pretty basic


It’s almost embarrassing.


And you sound like basic bitches ... emphasis on the bitches.

I also love how you think that list of about a half-dozen items encompasses our whole lives, such that you can declare us “basic” from it. Hilarious.

Young Urban Professionals.

Of course there are still yuppies. The clothes and products may have changed since the 80s but the people at the heart of the concept are still the same.



Basically people just started naming off things that they are secretly jealous of and pretend to hate and hoped that it qualified for the post. Haha

I am not young. 42.
Not urban. Totally suburban.
I am a professional though.

- tailored clothing whether it’s day to day clothes or evening wear
- particular shoes and bags (men and women)
- High end trench coaches/scarves/gloves

Have you been to any in DC? They're like a country club for millennials.
