The popularity of the preppy style continues. It focuses on the evolution of the style, either by transforming it in a trendy way or by freely combining it with other items. It suggests both traditional preppy colors and slightly darker versions of them. Instead of the usual red, rich colors like navy, mustard, green, purple, and blue are used to achieve a sophisticated look. The key is finding fresh color combinations and styling them in a graphical manner.

This season’s preppy look is characterized by adding a touch of variation and freedom to the traditional style. For instance, swapping out a necktie for a tie ribbon or pairing shorts with a blazer avoids the typical polished preppy look. Or, changing up the inner layer or shirt with fresh items adds a fun twist. It can be described as a student look with a relaxed, effortless vibe, as if it was casually but well put together.

The basic items of the preppy look are maintained, but styled to appear different through changes in proportions, volume, and length. Outerwear expands beyond tailored jackets to include jumpers or cropped coats with preppy colors like red and navy. Knit vests, a staple of the preppy style, are great for layering, with color palettes updated to avoid looking too traditional. 

Unfamiliar color schemes and unconventional proportions and shapes make the preppy look more trendy. Colors like mustard, sky blue, green, and purple, which differ from the traditional preppy palette, can create a fresh feel through color-blocking effects. Even basic items like polo shirts and knitwear can be updated by extending or shortening the lengths, or by slightly adjusting the size to create new looks.
