In the most positive connotation it means confidence, etiquette, and elegance…</p>

<p>Wealth has nothing to do with elegance. Not everyone has the dress sense. Wearing trendy clothes doesn’t have to be expensive. It can be but it doesn’t have to. Clean appearnace tells more about the personal habbit of the person than the wealth. Appreciating quality doesn’t necessary means shallowness…</p>

<p>See #111 is not elegant or classy. ‘JoeTheShow’ might be rich and is trying to show that one can make money many ways. </p>

<p>But wealth doesn’t bring the elegance and class associated with being ‘preppy’ in the positive sense.</p>

To me, most of the clothing seems very casual. I think of preppy as functional, yet quality sportwear. Elegant clothing, to me, evokes evening wear, or clothing that would be worn to unusual venues (picture violins and champagne). </p>

<p>On the other hand most of the clothing is an art. There are simple but elegant clothing. Elgant not necessarily point to evening dresses.</p>

<p>Elegant clothing is a style, a personality. It comes from knowing oneself. What clothing complement your personality. </p>

<p>‘preppies’ have confidence and if they want then they can wear ‘traditional clothing’ as classic and ‘hip hop clothing’ as a new age funky style.
They want to stand apart and not mingle. </p>

<p>Consider that as my view of being “preppy” and the new definition of the 21st century. You’ve to be a product of “preparatory” schools to begin with to qualify…

Whats next? Do they want to hobnob with snobs?</p>
