100 Perfectly Preppy Editorials

From Four-Eyed School Shots to Preppy Campus Lookbooks

— January 25, 2012 — Fashion
While grunge and punk-rock glam looks always have a place in the fashion industry, these preppy editorials explore the squeaky clean side of the fashion world. From varsity letterman jackets to nautical stripes and plaid mens suits, preppy fashions and their influence are seen on the runways of the world's fashion capitals season after season.

From clean-cut celebrities who make this style appear chicer than ever, to street style blogs that feature everyday hipsters rocking bowties and slim, candy-colored trousers, preppy fashions have solidified their place as a force in the fashion world.

Whether they're seen in the pages of Vogue or on the runways of design houses like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, these preppy editorials showcase the chic style at its best.
