<p>Saw 2 popped collars in suburban Detroit yesterday–and neither guy was trying to be ironic about it. One was a young guy wearing a Michigan State ballcap (backwards). The other was a tall slender distinguished-looking guy, gray hair, about 65 years old. The prep look is losing its exclusivity if Michigan State guys and senior citizens are wearing it out here in the Rust Belt.</p>
<p>Lol I think far too many people have been studying their copies of “The Official Preppy Handbook”…</p>

<p>Actually, I agree. Their clothes tend to be quite revealing, and they often look like they’ve been run over by a truck 8 or 9 times. I think one of the most distinguishing features of “preppy” clothes is neatness and modesty.</p>
