84 Preppy Menswear Styles

From Preppy Hipster Lookbooks to Simplistic School-Boy Runways

— June 5, 2013 — Fashion
Private school attire and collegiate clothing have been making waves through mens fashion for a while now, and these preppy menswear styles are some great examples of how that schoolboy-type look continues to gain popularity in modern day society.

The preppy look encompasses a variety of different clothing options that often includes collared shirts, tucked in ensembles, tightly fitted pants and elegantly designed blazers. The concept of dressing preppy is also often associated with a style that is nicely put together and visually sophisticated and elegant. Men who choose to go for this type of fashion style often appreciate the intricate and carefully thought-out manner in which these outfits are put together.

From bold blazer editorials to preppy pretty boy runways, these sleek menswear styles are allowing men to maintain that youthful and tailored look.
