hey fellow monkeys. so I just got to a school where apparently everybody dresses very preppy. I am an international student and don't much about the preppy dress code. can someone tell me some common preppy brands? especially where do you get those drivers?

Vineyard Vine or Polo shirts. Get some khaki pants or shorts as well. Rock some Sperry shoes but I jus go with sandles
brown boy in sandles how cliche
Lmfao
thanks, and we both have a dump in our username.
kill yourself.
try Uniqlo and Jcrew, all their stuff is pretty good and fashionable. slim and form fitting is what you want
It is key to wear 4 polo shirts at one time, all different colors. But you MUST have all the collars "popped" at all times
bruh, don't be a pack-following loser. unless you're in high school, then it's more understandable
You're an international student. Dressing like a preppy American would make you look like a tool.
Your name should be "Tronald Dump"
The way I see it, "preppy" has become split between two factions: - An older, more exclusive (more old money) faction originating and still largely living in New England, many of whom still have Ivy League ties. These are the types that live in Nantucket/Cape Cod, buy from companies like J. Press, L.L. Bean, Quoddy, etc. They ostensibly get "timeless clothes" that are also for the most part functional - A newer, less exclusive (more new money), and flashier type that has become pervasive along the East Coast and in the South. They still have expensive tastes, but they tend to be kitchier and are bigger suckers for labels (this is where Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, etc. folks come in)
I think you should really figure out your own style first and not worry about how people label it. I myself incorporate strands of both, and if anything I'd say I go for "timeless"/trad looks but with some modern character. At this point in my life I shy away from labels as much as possible and hate extremely showy brands like Vineyard Vines
Sounds more WASPy, no? Much the same, but the word 'preppy' just sounds like it weighs towards the more ostentatious description. Like....Volvo vs. Mercedes. Subaru vs. Lexus. Southampton vs. East Hampton.
WASPiness and preppiness traditionally overlap a lot. Take it from Wikipedia if you don't think I'm describing how it's evolved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preppy
thanks for the input. it's definitely true not to follow blindly. I just want to know more about this dressing style so that if someday I want to get a decent driver or something, I know where to go.
So you started at UVA basically? lol
OP is it a private school in the Northeast?
Khaki shorts or navy shorts, polo tshirts, short sleeve shirts. couple of sweaters and some loafers.
smh at anyone who dresses preppy

just dont over do it as an international so you don't seem like you're being something you're not. for instance choose more neutral colors for your chino shorts and polos instead of pastel salmon or mint. also get preppy clothing with minimal branding i.e not massive vineyard vines logo
with this method u fit in without looking like the fratty douchebag many of us have grown to hate
you can never go wrong by wearing some polo shirts and american eagles.
