The authoritative fashion history of the roots, growth, and offshoots of the quintessentially American preppy style.  Preppy offers the first definitive and in-depth volume on preppy fashion, exploring its evolution from its pragmatic origins and presence on elite Eastern campuses in America to its profound influence internationally and metamorphosis on the runway. For the first time, the preppy story is told completely and beautifully with iconic and never-before-published archival and editorial photographs and personal snapshots from the original Ivy elites.

Exploring all facets of men’s and women’s preppy fashion, this vibrant volume is replete with photographs and vintage ads illustrating the iconic elements of prep: from Oxford shirts, khakis, and Shetland sweaters to Peter Pan collars, madras pants, and Lilly Pulitzer tropical blooms. Authors Jeffrey Banks and Doria de La Chapelle also examine the fashion designers who played a major role in shaping the preppy look, from retail pioneers J.Press and Brooks Brothers to Ralph Lauren, who single-handedly marketed not just a look but a lifestyle. Also featured: a band of young twenty-first century Ivy stylists and fashion labels worldwide, who have infused preppy with high-octane design on and off the runway. Preppy is a stunning tribute to an American phenomenon.

Very cute but uncomfortable without bandaids
Size: 9.5, Color: Brown
I wore these shoes to my friends wedding and I got a lot of compliments for how cute they were. They are extremely cute shoes that fit my feet perfectly. The downside is that they became painful for me to wear after only 30 minutes of me wearing to them. During the rehearsal- were I was mostly standing in them- the pads of my feet started to hurt and by the end of the rehearsal (45 minutes later) I could barely walk in them. The day of the wedding I wore them for pictures which took 30 minutes in total and they hurt so much that when I arrived to the venue I had to put bandaids on my feet to make my feet more comfortable and to avoid blisters. Another thing I would say about these shoes is that the strings didn’t stay up after I tied them around my calf. Every time I tied them around my calf, they would slide down to my ankle within minutes. So yeah I love these shoes and they were cute despite the strings sliding down but I would highly suggest wearing something soft to cover the pads of your feet for comfort.

Roomy and super cute!
Color: Red, Color: Red
Love this purse. Perfect clutch with enough room. Is it top quality? No m, but you’re not paying top quality. Wanted to address that as I’ve seen comments talking about the quality. It is sturdy and I feel like it’ll hold up. Love the handle on the side.

ELEGANT & SOPHISTICATED WITH THE PERFECT SIZE AND STYLE!
Color: Black
I love the unique design of this clutch! There's THREE ways of carrying this clutch! 1) I can add a strap to make it a crossbody purse, 2) It has a wristlet strap, 3) Plus, the best is the long strap on the side of the clutch that allows me to place my hand through it and securely hold it in such a fashionable way! I get tons of compliments on it. I bought two, one in red and one in black. The leather-like material is durable, and the fixtures stay gold and do not fade. I use it daily, so it gets worn out within a year. The rubber edges would unfurl or get cracked. The zipper can break if you stuff the clutch too much, and the edges do get frayed easily, but for the cost, it's worth it! You can dress it up or wear it casually.
