What is Prep?

A noun- A person who goes to a prep school.

A girl that wears knee high socks, sweaters, plaid skirts and buckled shoes. Not to be confused with someone that wears short shorts, brand name t-shirts(or tank-tops), and wears gallons of make-up. This would actually be called a slut, hooker, whore, or popular girl. If someone goes to your school(and your school isn't a prep school) then they are NOT preps.

When some one is referred to as a prep, they usually reside on the East Coast; around the tri-state area. New England, regions of New York and New Jersey.

They wear Brooks Brothers, occasionally RL & Lacoste, Emporio Armani, etc. DO NOT GET THEM CONFUSED WITH GUIDOS. They attend preparatory schools or go to exclusive public schools such as Stuyvesant High School. They usually come from a long line old money; they can be thought of as patricians. They reside on the Upper West Side or Upper East Side around Madison, 5th Avenue, Lexington, etc.

Girl: A&F/AE preps give the original preps a bad name.

What does "Prep" mean?

Many people tie preps with the word slut and other insults but the true prep fashion is inspired by school uniforms, conservative sport wear, and other similar foundations. The basic prep will wear a polo and khaki pants which is not slutty. You could think of this fashion as the kind of clothes accepted in a country club, which requires conservative clothing.

The fashion that is considered prep fluctuates in pre-teens and younger teens who often obsess over name brands such as hollister and abercombie. The stores have prep inspired clothing BUT the clothing items that have the store's name across are NOT preppy. They are under a different class that has not been created yet.

As many teens get older the style begins to become more personalized and less traditional. Often girls will wear an preppy item with an edgier item, which creates a balanced outfit that is becoming very popular. This modernized and edgier prep can be called chic. Preppy Guys on the other hand wear polos, button ups, khakis, and pastels. They can mix a preppy shirt with jeans to make it less country-club like. Prep guys care about their appearance and make their outfits neat and some may be more preppy by wearing scarves and pea coats.

Preppy is conservative not slutty so ripped jeans and tight shirts are NOT preppy. Preps are not obsessed with pink and many are intelligent. =

Polos, Khakis, Pastel colors, Sweaters, Bermuda shorts.
NOT hollister shirts, or slutty items. Instead it is Conservative.

Sweater/Polo + Khaki = "Preppy"
Tight low cut shirts + Short Skirts = "Trashy" NOT "Preppy"

Prep - meaning

A prep is not someone who shops at Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle. We shop at JCrew, Polo, Lilly Pulitzer, Neimans, CK bradley, eliza b., Vineyard Vines, Rainbow, and North Face. We carry bags from Herve Chapelier, longchamp, and chanel:Classic and Pretty. Pearls are neccesary and jewlery from tiffany is needed. If you cannot afford those brands you are not a prep. Usually we go to elite private schools and end up in ivy league colleges. A common misconception is that all preps are blond, definitly not true. Most of us preps vacation in Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and the Hamptons. Really preppy towns include: Greenwich CT, and Rye NY. Prep for life.

That girl is wearing a shirt from Hollister and she tells everyone that she is a prep, definitly not.

Prep - definition

A prep, contrary to the beleif of some "Adult Preps", is a self centered, usually blonde or light brunette, male or female who thinks that they are perfect in every way, and that the world revolves around them. Most preps speak with phrases such as 'Like' all the time. Females usually so OMG as a shortened way of sayng Oh My God, usually because a) they are too lazy because everything in life has been handed to them or b) their too tired from screwing the football team or the cheerleaders last night. Preps usually wear overpriced clothes and listen to the most in music. Common types of preppo clothing are Abercrombie&Fitch, AE, or anything else name brand.

Male preps are usually called Jocks, and hang out in medium to large sized groups of 3 to 5. A typical Jock's goal in life is to be captain of the football team or quarterback. Most Jocks like pushing smaller people around, or people that they think are weak or small. They like to insult anybody who talks to them unless he/she is another prep/jock.

Female preps hang out in tight Cliques, and some are so dumb that they think that they're african-american or black, and use typical black slang in casual conversation. They can be seen texting or talking for long periods of time on their cell phones, most of which they personalize with stick-on gems and markers. Females are more prone to use 'like' constantly.


Britney: Omg Hayyyyy Lindsay did you see that nerd over there? He was like, totally checking me out. Chuh, idiot.

Lindsay: I know. Like, what a freaking geek

*Both laugh their stupid, high pitched laughs*

Prep

Someone that comes here to talk about how they don't wear Abercrombie, don't wear Hollister, live on the east coast, go to good colleges, and don't live in big houses (though they are rich?), and basically talk good about themselves because they are self-centered and insecure and stuck up little brats that have no life except to come online and type a million page definition on 'their kind'.

Person 1: Wow, look at this definition that this prep wrote about herself!
Person 2: Wow, she is such an annoying little bitch with no life, huh?

Prep

A mistake is that a prep is someone who shops at American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister and is involved in school sports and activites. A prep actuallyattends a prepatory school usually on the east coast comes from an old rich family and dresses in labels like Ralph Lauren, Juice, Dior, Lacoste etc. A prep wears sweater vests, plays tennis, is a country club member and is destined for a top Ivy League school. Preps are nice. They are smart and not dumb. They aren't sluts or ditzes and they DON'T care about emos or goths or geeks and they DONT talk bunk about them!

Prep #1- Hey what's up? Would you like to play tennis with me?
Prep #2- Yes, of course! I love your Dior sunglasses... J'adore Dior!
Non Prep- You guys are fags1
Prep #1- Leave us alone, please.

Prep

"Prep" is short for "preparatory." But unless you are doing "kitchen prep" before making a meal or getting ready for a test, the word usually refers to people who look like they could belong to the elite world of American preparatory schools.

The old-time New England prep schools--Andover, Phillips Exeter, Hotchkiss, etc.-- modeled themselves on English "public" schools like Eton (where Prince William graduated and Prince Harry still studies). The idea was to prepare the children of wealthy, WASP (white Anglo-Saxon Protestant) families for top colleges and life in the upper crust of society.

At this point, you don't have to be a WASP or travel to New England to go to prep school, and you certainly don't need to go to "prep" school to be labeled a "prep." Nowadays, it's more about how you look: understated but classic, wearing khakis maybe, and always lots of cotton. "Preppy" fashion is famously low-key because it is inspired by a class of people who don't care to flaunt their wealth. (Except for the not-so-subtle message of wearing clothes that suggest constant skiing, tennis and sailing--and the occasional loud plaid or hot pink.)

When the term "preppy" developed in the 1960s, it was with a mix of awe and annoyance. What was not to like about the clean-cut looks and the tastes of the "old money" prep-school crowd? But they were so insular, so spoiled...

Preppy pride soared in the conservative '80s, when Lisa Birnbach published "The Official Preppy Handbook," which extolled the joys of living among the best and brightest while dressed in navy blue and kelly green. Birnbach was kind of kidding, but a backlash followed with books like "101 Uses for a Dead Preppie" and the "I Hate Preppies Handbook."

Preps and their trappings have made a lot of enemies along the way. "The Catcher in the Rye"'s Holden Caulfield railed against the "fakes" at his New England prep school and ran away to the less stifling confines of New York City. Hip-hop's embrace of Tommy Hilfiger and other preppy brands has always been part poking fun at the status quo, part appreciation of the quality.

Meanwhile, there always seems to be a preppy fashion moment around the corner...

"Preppy clothing involves alot of cotton and kahki."
