Preppy is a life style, but it's also a way of dressing. The word Preppy can be defined in more than one way. To me preppy is anything nice and clean-cut. A lot of times when you hear the word "Preppy" words like high-end and expensive come to mind. Well, that is not completely the case. Yea, a lot of people livin' that preppy life style shop in stores such as J Crew, Lilly Pulitzer, Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vine, Tory Burch, and the list goes on. They're other stores and online shops that sells very similar items for a wallet friendly price such as Forever 21, Old Navy, Amazon, and Etsy shops just to name a few. There are a few essentials that are key in preppy dressing.
