You won’t find any puffy herringbone vests, monogrammed scarves and/or statement necklaces here. Instead, I’m thinking preppy as in classic, uniform-inspired looks, but with a twist – add way too many pearls, some fur/leopard, contrasting plaids and a surprising pop of color. Things like that!
Here are 21 outfits that can show you what I mean. Mostly pulled from Atlantic-Pacific, one of my favorite style blogs, but with touches of others.
Do you hate me for being sick of the puffy vest and monogram? I’m sorry. I get a little gutsy when I can hide behind the blog and don’t have to tell you to your face. 🙂
Have you seen any cute preppy fall looks that should be added to this list?

I love this! I have always described my style as “preppy” but recently many people have told me they disagree. I think this is because the mainstream idea of preppy has become very basic and is associated with a lot of the matchy gear that sorority girls wear or top selling items from J.Crew Factory.
Totally! I had to hold myself back from a post on what NOT to wear… But I see you are on the same page! 🙂 Thank you for the feedback!
