While most fashion-bloggers dedicated themselves to documenting daringly glamorous fashions or ultra-trendy hipster styles, FE Castleberry founded a blog entirely dedicated to the classic all-American preppy look. The polished blog features logs about music, books, sports and more, all while highlighting the preppy dress-code and lifestyle.
The blog unabashedlyprep.com proves that although the New-England style is associated with the Ivy-leagues and a conservative elitist culture, prepsters can also have fun with fashion. Not only do the individuals featured in the "dress-code" make unexpected combinations of fabrics and colors with flair, they also unabashedly don fun and quirky preppy accessories like bow-ties, repp-ties, suspenders and penny-loafers.
The fashion forward interpretations of the traditional preppy style are a unexpectedly refreshing surprise. After all, it is well known that tradition is the anti-thesis of fashion.
