Have you ever heard of the Preppy aesthetic or the commonly known “Old Money aesthetic” lately? It has been all over social media lately and I know how hard it can be to keep up. I’m here to tell you all about it and how you can stay on trend personalizing what’s known now as the Preppy style.
What is the Preppy Style?
Preppy style goes back decades, back in the early 1900s Preppy style was mainly worn by wealthy individuals who attended preparatory and Ivy League institutions. Preppy outfits became a status symbol, and a few years later in the 1980s, these were styled by many around the world, wealthy or not.
We became inspired by celebrities such as Princess Diana, one of the Queens of Preppy style, with her buttoned shirts, plaid blazers, suits, and khakis. Preppy outfits are meant to be very put-together, with plain and conservative patterns in neutral colors, both with slim and oversized fits, but without taking it too far.
The Preppy style fashion trend can be styled by anyone, and considering its minimalistic nature, it is very easy to put together the best Preppy outfits with basic pieces in your wardrobe. Here are my favorite ones!
My Favorite Preppy Outfits with Chicwish and JustFab
One of the staples of any Preppy style outfit is a neutral color set of a blazer and a skirt. The Chicwish Bee Badge Solid Color Blazer and Skirt Set In Black is such a good place to start. This outfit makes me feel like a boss, it fits perfectly and the skirt is the ideal length. The color black makes this outfit look super classy and the bee badge adds that special touch.
You can style this outfit with your favorite turtleneck sweater, or your favorite blouse. Keep in mind it’s better to keep the colors neutral, so a black, white, or beige piece would fit best. Though if you want to add a bit of color, that’s fine too! The key to personalization is creativity.
In my case, I paired the Chicwish Bee Badge Solid Color Blazer and Skirt Set In Black with a white blouse, and the best loafers I have found to date from JustFab. Any Preppy style closet needs a pair of loafers, all kinds of loafers were so on trend in 2022 and they are not going anywhere this year. The JustFab Cher Heeled Lug Sole Loafer are the perfect height and they can enhance any outfit.
I love Just Fab shoes, and these were such a good deal. The JustFab Cher Heeled Lug Sole Loafer retail for $64.99 and the quality is spot on. The Chicwish Bee Badge Solid Color Blazer and Skirt Set In Black on the other hand retails for $72.90 and it’s such a great price for the two pieces.
Now, if you are in the lookout for the perfect Preppy dresses, Chicwish has you covered as well. The Chicwish Retro Grace Contrast Color Knit Dress in Black screams royalty. If you want to look polished and elegant, this is the dress for you. The crystal floral buttons decor and the golden thread thrimming details look very neat on this dress.
The Chicwish Retro Grace Contrast Color Knit Dress in Black retails for $55.90, and is the ideal companion to the JustFab Cher Heeled Lug Sole Loafer as well. As you can see, we can create infinite outfit options with loafers.
To top it off, Preppy outfits are not complete without a designer bag, in my case I chose my beloved crossbody Prada bag. If you don’t own any designer bags, don’t you worry, there are thousands of dupes online to choose from many other fast fashion brands that will look just as great.
