Answer 1

"Preps" are grouped as a clique, consisting girls that:

-are optimistic and bubbly

-are superficial

-are 'girly'

-love shopping

-talk like this: "ehmagawd! lyk, totally!"

You would see a "prep" walking down the hall wearing:

-Tight, revealing tops

-A lot of pink

-Miniskirts

-Tight, designer jeans

-Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle

-Make up

Answer 2

on Y!A, the people who say

they're preppy usually mean that

they just shop at hollister, aeropostale,

and abercrombie all the time.

preppy actually means sort of prep SCHOOL.

if you watch gossip girl, that's a good example.

clean-cut, prim and proper.

Answer 3

A prep is a stereotype of someone who is brought up and lives in a higher-class society around New England.

He or she usually spends their summers at nantucket or martha's vineyard and wears polos, pearls and jcrew : )

Answer 4

oxford shirts

cable knit sweaters

fitted blazers

cardigan sweaters

dark denim

skirts (usually to the knees not very short)

these are some things that come to mind for prep

hollister, abercrombie and ae are preppy stores but they are for more the girls in middle school but not as much high school they do carry some prep clothing but there cheaper

real prep stores are sacks, ralph lauren, j. crew, lacoste,  lily pulitzer, burberry and brooks brothers.

prep is nicely dressed and sophisticated usually not worn are jeans but khaki pants are skirts to the knee

Answer 5

glad someone wants to know the truth

what prep is NOT - abercrombie, hollister, [ those are cheap, ugly clothing that always look the same ] girls who say, omg, and like over & over. abercrombie and hollister is not what a real prep wears, those are cheap clothing, my cheapest cloths cost more then that!

everyone calls me the 'true' definition of a prep. this is what a REAL prep is, the definition that has gotten lost thanks to stupid sterotypes

what a prep is - a person from a rich family. dresses classy and nice. namebrands such as valentino, burberry, micheal kors, lives a finer life. clean, and proper. almost like the people from gossip girl

this is what they like to wear;

Polo shirts

Oxford shirts (unlike polos, oxford shirts should always be long sleeved - if it is warm outside simply roll up the sleeves)

Rugby shirt

Cable-knit vests and sweaters (traditional cricket sweaters).

Cardigan sweaters in preppy colors and patterns (but keep in mind that tying it around your neck might be a little overboard)

A fitted jacket or blazer (try seersucker, madras plaid, tweed or simple black, navy or brown)

Dark denims or chino pants

Khaki pants.The prepequivalent to jeans.

Bermuda shorts (khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, linen or preppy prints and patterns)

Skirts (khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, linen, preppy prints and patterns)

Tea dresses and summer dresses (in madras plaid, preppy colors, seersucker, or linen.) A-line dress, halters, and flowy dresses are acceptable.

Tennis and golf inspired shirts, skirts and dresses

everyone thinks preps are s****., and stuck up and think their all that. that is wrong! people shouldn't catergorize prep as that. i don't act stuck up or s****.. i don't look down on people cause of money or how they look. every prep is different.

Answer 6

well its where someone is all like "i am the best!" nd has on a lot of make up high heels and nail polish on and is really like its all about me. They shop at high price store and have designer every thing and they think the world is all around them and they gossip allll the time!

Answer 7

A prep is hard to explain! It's like... preppy ummm... like... ok I give up..

Answer 8

A common misconception is that a prep is someone who shops at American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister and participates in school sports and activities. A prep is actually one who attends a prepatory school, usually on the east coast, comes from an old rich family and dresses in labels like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste. A prep wears sweater vests, plays tennis, is a country club member and is destined for a top Ivy League school.
