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.
girls/guys these days CARE WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK
especially those preppy girly girls who takes FOREVER to get ready in the morning just cause they need their hair to be perfect and the way they look
sadly, NO ONE CARES about what you think of yourself
honestly, it's ok to be a little obsessive over yourself, but just don't overdo it
another reason they're preps is that they pick on people who DRESS DIFFERENTLY FROM THEMSELVES
i mean, wtf what made you think you had a fucking chance at making fun of someone else
it's not like you're any better than they are and at least they're not sluts who's like "ew is that dirt in my nails?"
no boy would honestly date preppy girls even if they do they'll eventually BREAK UP WITH THEM because they'll realize how mean they are how sensitive they are
even if boys date those preppies well they're only the ones who're A JERK to even think about taking an interest into those girls
Preps - Is that dirt?
Yes, it is, got a problem?
Preps - Well it's gross.. get it away from me, I don't want that piece of shit on my new skirt!

The word prep comes from the word preparatory, meaning a preparatory school. True preps are totally not mainstream and they have an original style. They wouldn't dare shop at Abercrombie, Hollister, Aeropostale, etc..
Rather, they shop at stores like J Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vines, Lilly Pullitzer, and Small Boutiques. They take pride in their academics and usually end up in an ivy-leauge college. Most preps are very athletic, well-groomed, and carry themselves well. Despite what others say on this website, Preps usually have one or a few extreme talents that they work on hard, and are usually very creative. They do come from money. However, It is usually old money that has been past down by generations of preps. Preps don't usually flaunt their money. They are very conservative. The basic definition of preps is- classy people who have an original style and carry themselves well.
I really have no clue where people get the idea that preps are mainstream.
Non-Prep- "How would you describe yourself?"
Prep- "I'm preppy"
Non-Prep- "So you shop at abercrombie and aeropostale?"
Prep- "Are you serious? Of course not! Real preps would never shop there"

Preps are people in american society (mainly girls) who wear and act the way the media wants them too. Most hard-core preps are seen listening to mainstream music played on the radio 20 times a day and wearing expensive brands like lilly, polo ralph lauren, vera bradley, lacoste, 7 jeans, Juicy couture, Nike shox, birkenstocks,UGGs,pink cashmere sweaters over polo shirts, Jcrew, and so many more that I can't name. Preps are the total opposite to punks, individuals who listen to indie music and shop at thrift stores.
rich private school girls are preps

Preps are from rich families, academically gifted, and destined to make a lot of money just like their parents. It is ridiculous to say that they are 'ditzes' and 'sluts'. You would not make it into a prep school if you were either of these things. And preps do not wear American Eagle. They shop at Neiman Marcus.
Also, it's not like preps want to be anything else. Whenever somebody comes to a prep school dressed ghetto/goth/hooker, they are either immediately ostracized and made fun of, or more commonly they prep it up too. ;)
Also, it is ridiculous for people who pierce holes through their lips and noses just to fit in, to call US posers.
Come to La Jolla Country Day, where we don't care that a bunch of goths wearing dog collars and chains, in remedial 4th grade math, make fun of us!
Prep and proud.

A Young student in high school or college who:
1. Performs well academically
2. Plays sports such as Crew, Tennis, Golf, or Lacrosse
3. Comes from an established "Old money" background
4. Is favoured by their school, church, and other local establishments
5. Is good looking
6. Went to/ goes to preparatory school
Of course, a prep need not have ALL these qualities but many do. A common misconception about preps is that they consist only of the Patrician New England "Old stock" establishment. While this is generally true to a large extent this is not to exclude the types of preps who come from the Southern and Southwestern regions of the US (who more closely resemble the "popular" definition of preps but we'll get into that in a minute). Students who fit the definition of "preppy" can be found in any part of the world, including the upper circles of Europe, and Latin America.
Preps have historically been White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, however, this criteria has somewhat changed in recent decades of racial/ethnic integration.
Preps represent all sides of the political spectrum, the more liberal ones being found in Connecticut or Massachusetts, or the more conservative ones being found in Georgia or Texas.
Preps vary in their attitude towards others and range from being completely condescening to being all inclusive. The majority of preps are fairly indifferent to those outside of their own type, usually not out of snobbery, but out of their tendency to be more private as individuals.
Perhaps the biggest debate involving preps today is the definition of "prephood". The New England preps often state the the more common definition of prep defined by people who wear Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc. is a false construction, whereas the "true prep" actually wears brands like J Crew, LL Bean, Eddie Bauer, and Ralph Lauren. Whlie a true prep is more inclined to match the latter definition, there is not a rigid line between types and many preps actually wear a mixture of the two styles, wearing the established brands for school or church and the newer brands in casual settings. Of course, it is important to note that true prephood is NEVER defined by clothes alone.
Finally, preps are often seen as conformists, but in reality, this perception comes from their emphasis on constructing highly esteemed careers and willingness to accept the concept of the "establishment" as an inevitability. Thus many preps aspire to go into business, medicine or politics later in life.
I pretty much match the definition of a prep and am pretty proud of it. =)
