O.k., so I'm reading an article the other day and there was a mention of modern preppy. I honestly didn't know there was such a thing. This got me thinking of what is truly classic prep and I've started to compile a list, just for fun. I was originally going for the top 10 but ended up with 20. There is surely more to add to the list. If the readers of this blog would be inclined to add their picks and why, I'm sure it would be a lot of fun to see.
This list is in no particular order.
 |
| 1. Beans Ducks and Mocs |
 |
| 2. The Cruisers-really the only appropriate form of transportation on Nantucket |
 |
| 3. Khakis |
 |
| 4. The Tote |
 |
| 5. Bass Weejuns, duct tape anyone? |
 |
| 6. J Press, the true giants of Preppy Attire |
 |
| 7. Duck Motifs |
 |
| 8. The wagons, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo-what else can haul your hydrangeas around? |
 |
| 9. Topsiders, the only appropriate deck shoe |
 |
| 10. Oxford Cloth Button Down Shirts |
 |
| 11. Loafers-no socks needed |
 |
| 12. Blue Blazer, enough said |
 |
| 13. Timex Watch-rolex are for yuppies! |
 |
| 14. Pearls |
 |
| 15. Lilly Pulitzer, but only when the weather permits! |
 |

 |
| 17. Head scarves |
