base on this picture...its impossible to pull off this kinda style in malaysia

so whats the best way to pull off this preppy style in malaysia...

^ Those jackets & cardigans has to go, replace shirts with polo T with american college style usually that has numbers, college badges or a single alphabet at the left chest. That should probably do the half trick. The other half depends on your overall image & hairstyle. Subtle plaid/checker design might help too.... I guess

Maybe like this

you may choose to not wear those jackets but you can stick with the cardigans/sweaters.. anyway there are jackets like that which are less heavy, its about whether you dare to be different or not..

for me, this is more like boating style, and as RL calls the "yacht-club look", similar to nautica's look..



clothes by michael bastian:

any idea where to get clothes like that?

gap cloth considered preppy?

yeah i agree but thats just my limit, hehe.

I don't think we should wear cardigans here. Maybe post more summer prep pics.

the preppy look uses patterns, in conjunction with bold colors.. the accessories with this style could be clothes themselves, such as a sweater. wrapped casually around the shoulders. the most important rules of preppy style - class, elegance, and neatness..

whats wrong with cardigans?

^^^^ Thats the classic example of preppy look.. Especially the collar shirt and the "scarf" thingy on the shoulder. I would not wear that though.. It screams NICE GUY. And girls would not want to hook up with you. LOL

I'd much prefer the geek chic style or retro.

Collar popping is preppy?

i found an answer for your question..

What colour chinos should I get?
What colour polo should I match it with?
Beside Polo Ts, are there anything else Prep Men wear?

now i know this style call prep.. lol,
matching colour will be a trouble for me.

resurrecting this topic to revive traditional preppy dressing.
