Ae, abercrombie, hollister=not preppy?

come on, they are so totally not. preppy is ralph lauren, lacoste, banana republic and j. crew. preppy is a lifestyle of popped collars, nantucket beach houses and classic clothing. abercrombie, hollister and ae couldn't be preppy if they were slapped with it. true preps would never shop there. if abercrombie was preppy, you wouldn't see kids whose parents only make 70,000 a yr wearing it.


who agrees with me?


im fifteen, btw.

Like you yourself mentioned being preppy is a lifestyle. Fashion and style don’t need a name or a high price tag, unless you know nothing of it. Looking for a brand name and setting that as a standard is telling someone who does understand fashion that you are someone who is going safe. Style does not have to cost a lot. "preppy is a lifestyle of popped collars, nantucket beach houses and classic clothing. " You are making a great point about style being a lifestyle and the preppy look is a lifestyle, but then you say you have to wear these companies to be preppy. You are basically arguing with yourself. I love the companies that you mentioned, (Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, Banana Republic) but you don’t need to buy from those or Abercrombie and Hollister, because if what your saying is true, means that any unfashionable person can be stylish. Money does not buy fashion. And if money buys the clothing the person who is wearing the clothing has to "work the clothing." Buying and putting on the clothes is not enough. I see people sometimes trying to look a certain way by dressing up in the style that corresponds with that and they look stupid because that person and the clothing don’t fit the same puzzle. Anybody can just buy a brand to look preppy, it does not matter what brand, they still have to "make it work" for them self.


PS: By the way I'm not preppy and I never even shopped from any of those companies; you don't need a logo to look fashionable.
Reply:hows this this the middle class preppy lol i hate shopping at those store 20 bucks for a flipping tshirt good Griff plus there sizing is all whacked
Reply:Complaining about 70,000? My parents make way less than that, as do I. I'm able to afford Lacoste, ralph lauren... etc. I also wear A%26amp;F/Ruehl/Hollister, so what's that make me? How about people stop trying to box everyone in to fit a preconceived stereotype of what people are by what they were and learn to get to know people. Btw, you're 15, stop worrying about what clothes people are wearing and expand your brain.
Reply:yeah, but it the social class that makes it preppy, more than the cost because the masses wear it and will agree with each other. i hate saying it and please forgive but im sorta of rich, i try to wear clothing not a lot of people wear though.... i don't want to dress like a rich a** or like snobby football stars.
Reply:Yea I completely agree with you. Hollister and Abercrombie are my favorite stores and it makes me mad when people call me a prep for that.
Reply:I'm 15 also and all the preps I know where abercrombie and hollster and I refuse to be a prep so all I wear is Baby Phat, House of Deron, etc.
