These Are the Hottest New Coats for the Preppy Set
The preppy style is all about a classic neat appearance. Having a preppy style goes beyond the clothing but it is about an attitude that leans towards a preference of a natural aesthetic. Preppy style can often be compared with the je ne sais quoi of the french style. Simple, classical, neat yet beautiful, and alluring. Being preppy is all about the class of old money in contrast to the lavish style that comes with new money, and even if you have no money anyone can be preppy. It draws inspiration from knits, classic patterns like checks and stripes, and a preference to wear natural materials like leather and wool. The preppy style is all about quality rather than quantity. Where better to find quality than in Saks Fifth Avenue.
