Chances are you know right off the bat if you are a prep-ster. No? You either like the country club, tennis group, Martha's Vineyard type looks or you don't. Although sometimes I think preppy is a style that most people closet for fear of labels. But ladies, there are no labels here - if you like this look, go for it!
A definite advantage of the preppy style is that while the look may shift a bit from season to season, for the most part it is a classic look that never goes out of style. With the popularity of the "men's wear" inspired looks these days... preppy fits right in, even if you don't have a lacrosse sticks cluttering up the back of your Land Rover.
