A word used by "wannabees", if you will, to describe the New England-Old Money crowd. Typically used by wanabee middle school girls who attempt to dress in a way like the aforementioned, and really want to go to a private boarding school but cannot afford it. This style is also popular with the nouveau riche. Because of these kinds of people attempting to live this lifestyle, it has given the clothing generally worn by this crowd a bad name, and the people who originally wore it alas, can do so no longer.
Girl in brain: I want to be preppy and go to a "preppy" school but I cant afford it so I guess I will just have to dress like I do.

Smart, very pretty girls or rugged, well-built guys who wear couture (Anne Klein, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Stella McCathney), drive cool cars, Porshe and Ferrari, go to boarding school (anywhere, east coast or west - like in Atherton, CA or Dover, MA) and get everything that they want. the guys play sports like soccer, lacrosse etc. and they travel a lot and like exotic stuff. (Some of them do alot to help the poor.)
Some are snobs and some are not.
Paris Hilton is a snobbish (trashy) Preppy, Kate Hudson is not.

all of the people on here who are saying that preppy is a lifestyle are obviously preppy people who are tired of being made fun of. Preppy means that you wear expensive name brands and like really girly stuff like make-up boots tote bags coffee cheerleading and being a stuck up bitch for no appearant reason. And yes preppy people are rich (welll-off means the same fucking thing)
if you shop at abercrombie and you are a guy your preppy

Rich Bitchs, look fine, but are racist, they will all die one day because I told them so. If any one Roosevlt Middle School reads this they will know I'm talking about.
They know who they are.

It is indeed a lifestyle, it has taken me all over! This is my point of view, It might be difference than the American because I live in Europe, the Netherlands Amsterdam.
People will know you by their first inpressions, so clothing is very important! You should wear cloths what are dark coloured (red, green, dark blue) but have a very good. Cloths should compare with the time of year. Do not wear a lot of white things when you are very blonde. Do not wear a lot of Polos in the winter but a lovely pullover. Marks like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger are very populair here. Most teenagers do not know Abercrombie and Fitch so almost nobody wears them here. The teenagers wear Riverwoods and Diesel jeans, they are very preppy! European marks like Armani, Gucci, Versace are really too expansive and not for a preppy guys and girls.
Playing sports here is not included in school, we have P.E but when you play a real sport you play it in a independed club. Field hockey is one of the most populair sport in my part of Europe.
I have been twice in America, the difference is you can drive a car at the age of 16. Here it is 18, but we are allowed to go out and drink alchohol at 16! Never drink to much because it is not cool for your own health and most people don't like it.
Be social, always get with as much as posible people well. Learn acting so you get what you want! Think about the time when you are with you own friends, when do don't just pretent that you like the nerds or losers.
I hope from some reactions, try to translate this:
Bedankt allemaal en ik vind deze site echt onwijs gaaf!

1. People (99% white) who are rich and show off wearing clothes that cost $50 but only cost like $5 to make.
2. A groupd of people that are better then everyone else, when they're the only ones in a room.
3. They have names like John, Mark, Lisa, Elly, Jacob, etc. Some perppy chicks be looking good though...
1. "I totally got this shirt for $50!," random perp.
2. Perps do perppy things with other perps, so of course they're losers.
3. Damn... that Lisa girl's got some big titties!

The High School version of Yuppie; Someone who's good with both sports and academics, who wears far too much Ambercrombie and Fitch and who drinks a lot of Starbucks coffee. They are often arrogant douches like their older brothers and sisters, the yuppie.
Half the people I knew in my High School.
Preppie: I'm in calc three.
Me: wow, what are you majoring in?
Preppie: What do you care? Go fuck yourself. You major in that, ok?
Me: *blocks him and reports him as spam*
