What does "preppy" mean to you?

Well, I guess some progress has been made here. Next time someone tells me they take pride in dressing “classically, conservatively, or sophisticatedly” I’m going to tell them their style was invented by socialists.

I think style is always being reinvented -after all, the people I knew in hs who wore crewneck preppy sweaters generally did it in an ironic way, like they’d spike their hair as well. I guess a preppy attitude is more what people generally complain about. Maybe I’ve yet to meet a real new england prep. Even still, I’ve never felt threatened by anyone whose main goal in life was to be unoriginal and boring. oh well, I’m visiting Bowdoin this weekend, so I’ll see then if I get bad vibes.
