A friend and I do.
18, Brisbane, Hardcore, average item is $100-$500, so no thom browne but no general pants either.

>>6241142
Sounds nice man, how is prep received over there?
I always get quizzical looks or compliments where I live.

>>6241156
It's basically the same, a lot of people think i'm gay but people think that regardless of what I wear. Typically plebs will think you're gay, well dressed people are moer keen on you.

This shit is even worse than A&F/Hollister/Jack Wills

>>6241303
What are you talking about? 1/2 of Brisbane is dressed preppy, just go to the valley on any saturday night and see

I'm still looking for a substitute for Rugby Ralph Lauren.

>>6241380
you couldn't be more ignorant.

>>6241478
Stop talking into the mirror cuntboi

>>6241112
on spring/summer its usually full prep
>20
>melb
>music? lmao how the fucc is that relevant. fucking trap niqquh

>>6241142
What stores do you go to?

>>6241538
This goes to everyone

always good to see people from your city on this board. irrelevent i know but does anyone know off a good nightclub for /fa orientated people in Melbourne?

>>6241112
I went to an actual prep school wherein less than a sixth of the kids dressed anything close to prep. I incorporate a lot of prep ideas into my own style, but never go "fullprep" like your pic related.

love it, wish more guys'd dress like that

how do i in2ivy/prep as a female, tho?

>>6241538
Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Brooks Brothers, sometimes (very rarely) Lacoste. Only prep stores near me (even the mainstream ones like I listed) are roughly 2 hours away from my city.

>>6241112
I like prep. Might as well make this a prep dump thread while we're at it.

I've noticed a lot of non-prep stores are carrying preppier items this season. (actually, it's been a trend what with cardigans etc.)

>>6242465
Agreed, dumping prep. I also find that preppy is growing in non prep retailers.

Now whenever I think if prep I'm reminded of my friend who was a total nerd pleb and then went to The University if Virginia and suddenly it was salmon shorts, boat shoes, polos, and blue button ups.

That's why I stay away.

I really love the style, but can't bring myself to wear it. Too much color unless you're doing a muted version of it.

>>6242524
Sounds like fraternity instead of prep, though they share similarities they are very different.
>pic related, something I'd classify as fraternity

>>6242541
Yep that's my friend. But people nowadays can't distinguish between frat and prep. That's why I can't do it.

>>6242541
I agree

I don't care for boat shoes

I dress prep quite often actually

>>6242574
Just got back and only one additional picture. This must be rectified.

>>6242594
Dumping more prep

>>6243132
Can you buy pants that fit like this? Or does something like that have to be tailored?

Fav

>>6243236
1. Go to Goodwill
2. Get pants in (almost) your size for like $10
3. Get them tailored (I pay $12/pair) Bring in that picture to the tailor
4. ????
5. Profit

so prep/ivy style = Goslingcore?

It's hard to find slimmer fitting nice pants or just clothes in general at goodwill if you are a man

this shit is worse than swagfags

>>6243450
prep isn't dadcore. Dadcore is vastly misrepresented on this board.

I dunno who the fuck you people are looking at, but dads tend to have a few telltale dress styles not really seen by people who post here. One main factor is the awful, loose/baggy fit. Secondly, they tend to by cheap shit that is just thrown together. There is a lot of tucked in t-shirts, and horrible looking shoes. These shoes are generally from new balance. They also wear a lot of shoes like pic related. Then there is the jeans. They have that really ugly wash. Not sure what it is called, but you know what I mean. Dads tend to just not give a fuck.

All of the teenagers around here think you are dadcore if you don't dress like a hypebeast or goof ninja. In a few years they will inevitabley look back and be ashamed, or they will be the equivalent of that 30 year old guy who still wears cargo short down to his ankles and a chain while working his minimum wage job.

>>6243851

>>6243867
/fa/ wouldn't know dadcore if it hit them in the face

merrel's are dad core? i just like to hike...

>>6243880
this is so fucking entry level u fuccboi

>>6243909
Steve Carell should feel bad

>>6243919
they look like shit
absolutely fine if you're actually hiking, but not for day to day stuff

>>6243919
I mean, they are fine if you are hiking, but dadcore tends to wear ugly shoes like this all around the place for no reason. They also wear athletics clothes around.

>>6243851
Confirmed for having no taste.

>>6243909
That picture is actually an awesome representation of what is dadcore vs what /fa/ thinks is dadcore.

>>6243940
it's called acting

19 M Mississippi USA.
I've been around it from my family but I haven't been apreciating it until now. Where does /fa/ recommend getting bowties?

British preppy brands:

Lands end, fat face, white stuff, racing green, crew clothing, rampant sporting, barbour.

Jack Wills is not for chavs and 13 year olds

>>6242465
"Prep" is just something that stores feel they can sell. It is just an image like everything else, but real prep is about tradition and old money shit.
Also a trend because of Gatsby and fuckers wanting to look "classy"

>>6244172
please don't buy lands end

>>6244440
Brooks brothers coming out with the Great Gatsby clothing line was brilliant in my opinion.

>>6244546
no

>>6244551
Yes, considering Brooks Brothers is a staple of classic men's wear and mass marketed in every major mall/airport/shopping center there's really nothing for them to lose. As far as they're concerned they could put their logo on a toaster oven and it would sell smashingly in the 25-50 year old age demographic.

>>6244551
As a marketing move, yes. But the line looks dumb as fuck from a fashion stand point, its a line of costumes rather than wearable clothes.

>>6244759
Very much wearable composition wise, most of the suits are either linen or wool and not polyester or viscose like most "costumes" would be made out of. As far as "trendy" fashion, yes I can see where you're coming from.

How does one prep where it's 85+ 9 months out of the year?

>>6243940
he looked amazing throughout the rest of the movie.

>>6244891

>>6245639
Agreed, bumping.

>>6245639
post examples plox

30, Hawaii. I tend towards preppy because I do consulting work and it helps you to sell anytime and anywhere if you look serious and professional.

If I need to tone it down, I can always undo another button, roll the sleeves and talk pidgin. They know you stay local if you know how for talk pidgin. When I go for talk to people I got to gauge what they going think depending on how I talk. If you talk pidgin to the right people sometimes its like they know you from small kid time and they go out of their way to help you.

>>6246166
what the fuck is pidgin

All i know is if you are talking pidgin you are not dong prep

>>6246166
as soon as you mentioned pidgin i started reading everything you wrote in it and I'm not sure if you wrote it in pidgin or not

>>6246098
Linen shirts, pants, shorts.
Seersucker shorts, pants, suit jacket.
Merino wool pants or shorts for summer.

>>6246426

It's a local creole created by the different foreign sugar cane workers when they came to Hawaii. It isn't prep, the point is that it can be used when I'm dressing prep to dispel the image when it would count against me.

>>6246499

Just from the second line of the second paragraph, the example being that I use it when necessary and in this case to make a point.

>>6246426
in some countries, namely caribbean islands and hawaii you have to vary your language level based on who you are talking to, usually basolect, broken language for the natives and acrolect or standard english in an academic or business setting

>>6246779
Some pictures would be nice

>>6248712
Google
These things are prep staples, so there isn't a lot of wild variation on them.

Bumping with more pics

>>6244891
Pretty much what the poster talking about linen and seersucker said, also could just lack the layers and go for the classic outdoor sports prep type look.
>pic related

So refreshing to see a prep thread. Now-a-days its always goth ninja with their dunks and capes.

20, NYC, mostly 90s rock/pop, rower

>>6252580
Glad you feel the same way! Rower as in boat rowing? Seems like a great activity/sport. I've always wanted to get into it.

>>6252580
>
Wish I could get into rowing, but I'm no longer in college and the only other crew around is a bunch of old people and women mixed. Idk how competitive they get

>>6252580
There're going to be so many plebs at the regatta this June.

Btw, are these shoes gross?

They're okay. Depends on what you wear them with.

>>6255109
I was thinking navy/green/off-white chino shorts.

>>6255118
I'd go for it, I like them.

Nobody asked you to browse this thread. Your comment is unnecessary and irrelevant. If you want something better then post it.

How to avoid frat look? I'm a poorfag and building up a new wardrobe so I'm staring out with basics. Pink, white, blue polos (so far) and green, light blue chino shorts (so far) and I have like 4 pairs of boat shoes. Idk what to fuckin wear. I want to look nice but I just look like a frat bro

Hey, OP here. I'm completely with you, hit a growth spurt and now most of my clothes are too small so I'm starting over as well. I really suggest things like sweaters, field jackets, and vests. These are prep staples and can spice up your outfit enough so it's not preppy. I'm a fan of boat shoes personally, but also look up some loafers as they offer a great alternative and change up from your regular boat shoes. Mostly, prep is all about the attitude just as much as the fashion. Don't be the "dude" type, that's what separates the boys (fraternities) from the men (classic preps).

so after five pics this thread derailed to business casual / smart casual?

>>6259330
yeah, the tattoos ruin it

Fall prep

>>6259861
Yes because nobody here really knows what prep is supposed to be,

>>6260292

>>6260321
What do you think it is?

>>6260337
Not a fan of the yellow pants, but meh he has the boating look down.

>>6260353
The trick is to live in a town which isn't full of plebs.

>>6260366

The Henley regatta is GOAT for prep fashion.

>>6260363

>>6260378
Can you be convincingly prep if you aren't born into privilige?

I went to a redbrick university for oxbridge rejects and I feel like such a social climber...

Terribly sorry, go put in some grizzly wintergreen. While you're at it, hop on your four wheeler and drive it off a cliff. Country scum.

>>6242541
so frat is when someone tries to dress prep but either:

>does it badly
or
>is ugly

>>6261126
huge cuffs

>>6261132
God damn I can't wait until I get my Barbour.

>>6261115
Time to leave /fa/ for a few months

>>6261127
Pretty much.

>>6261143
That doesn't surprise me, most things tend to follow the rules of:

1. Be attractive
2. Don't be unattractive

As cliched as it sounds...

Somewhat; I'm 19 and in a frat at an ivy league school. My classmates were very excited when a J. Crew opened up near campus, but those who can afford it wear J. Press and sometimes Brooks Brothers. I usually only wear prep to frat-sponsored events and occasionally to class.

>>6262548
Care to mention which ivy?
Ivy frats have a much more classic prep style then southern schools from what I've noticed.

>>6246098
These shorts. Live in Florida. Hot as fuck. Need, need, need.
Also I really like the pants, belt and shirt in >>6242574 anyone know where I can get them?
I used to dress like >>6242594 but to be truthful I got a girlfriend and in between her, school and making music I have no time to shop or do laundry for that matter.

I'm 22 and as of late I'm listening to experimental, jazz, math, prog, and classical

>>6262586
I'm at Dartmouth (in New Hampshire) and my older sister just finished at Vanderbilt (in Tennessee), and there's definitely a difference in dress, mostly stemming from tradition (e.g. girls wear sundresses to football games at Vandy).

I feel that the southern prep at Vandy is becoming more "classic prep" thanks to the growing population of NYC prep school kids (but the fits still tend to be looser), while Dartmouth and Princeton remain "classic prep" due to the WASPy student body and large population coming from New England prep schools.

Picture Related: Juniors at a NE boarding school

i only have a few pieces like a tennis cardigan, critter pants, and brogues.

>>6262548
do most of the frat guys dress like that at ivy schools? all the frat guys here at my state university wear tank tops that say "keep calm and swag on", board shorts, and sperrys/flip flops.

>>6260394
the guy who started ivy style went to a california state university.

And for those interested in learning more about prep style, I recommend reading some articles on the blog College Trad.

>>6262667
>tennis cardigan
I do not know much about WASP or prep culture. Explain to me the origins of a tennis sweater. Who the fuck plays tennis in a sweater?

>>6260394
I don't know how it is in other countries, but in America it really doesn't matter how you dress. So many wealthy, self made people dress like shit.
It will only matter if you're trying to befriend an ivy league kid who cares about social status, so it's really up to you whether you care about that or not.

>>6262653
Fricken awesome man, respect for the green! I'm hoping to get into Emory which is a tad below Vandy (would've applied to Dartmouth and Cornell but didn't take freshman year seriously). At the Emory campus I've noticed lots of New England styled preps too even though its southern location.

>>6262692

>>6262723
I always called those cricket sweaters...
Is there a difference other than the fact that they're used for different sports?

>>6262679
Well I'm in a NARP frat (Non-Athletic Regular Person) so we typically wear bright OCBDs and chinos with boat shoes out to class or semi-formal events when the weather permits. Otherwise we care more about comfort and warmth.

However, the sport-specific frat members (about 60%) often wear Lacoste polos, khakis, and boat shoes. But there are obviously a bunch of lazy frat guys who just wear tanks and sweatpants.

Picture Related: Kid in my frat on a warmer spring day

>>6262738
nah, same deal. the sweaters were worn by skiers and golfers too. it's just sportswear before cheap synthetic materials

>>6262692
Tennis players used to wear long sleeved button down shirts and sweaters until Lacoste invented the polo shirt. Tweed sport coats were worn when hunting, and bright pants that are sometimes embroidered were worn while playing golf or spending time on your boat.
