Flask Giveaway Part 2
Can You Be Preppy Without Having Been To Ivy League Schools Today? Yes!
Today, the term “preppy” is far looser and is a term regularly used in high schools across North America and parts of Europe. It still describes a subculture, but that of a social circle of well brought up men and women who have adopted a manner of speech, vocabulary, dress, manners and etiquette that becomes an integral part of their lifestyle, which is reflective of the traditions adopted from those historic upper-class Northeastern families.
Of course, the prep culture or coastal culture is still very predominant in those regions, but it has spread into other areas and is often referred to as southern culture and now classic American culture, adopted by men and women in all of the fifty states, as well as abroad.
Prep Style Explained
One relatively tell tale sign of a prep is the sense of the style adopted by the average preppy. Almost like a school uniform, the culture has adopted a very nautical, clean cut image synonymous with brands like Brooks Brothers, J.Crew, LL Bean, Ralph Lauren and other various brands. Just as Christians go to Church, executives go to the boardroom and astronauts enjoy going to space; we as preps will forever enjoy the breeze on the boardwalk, the gin and tonic in the backyard and soaking up the sun in the summer.
At Gentleman’s Gazette, many readers define themselves as well-dressed whereas other readers will agree they fit into the subculture of being a true prep.
