4. Crisp Button-Down Shirts
Is there anything more iconic than a white button-down shirt? We think not, especially as it pertains to preppy style. Just picture. Crisp and clean, this tailored top adds instant polish to denim, high-rise trousers, and a full skirt (or a pleated mini!). Minimal styles with pointed collars are forever staple, while versions with puffed sleeves, exaggerated cuffs, and oversized silhouettes add a modern touch.
3. Plaid & Polka-Dot Patterns
A simple way to inject preppy style into your wardrobe is with traditional patterns such as tartan, gingham, glen plaid and polka dots. For tailored attire and cold-weather accessories alike, you can go subtle or bold with those motifs depending on how you wear them (head-to-toe versus a single piece, for example). When building your collection, start with a plaid coat, polka-dotted knitwear, or a flirty cocktail dress to maximize versatility.
