Put Some Prep In Your Step and Step On Into SUMMER ...

Hamptons, Marthas Vineyard, Palm Beach or BUST ...

 

 

As a native New Yorker I am all about the preppy styling that has for so long defined the upper-crust of the Hamptons Classic Horse Show ... add in Summers on the Vineyard and YES ... the totally laid back but sophisticated prep of a stroll down Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. All it took was a mini vaca to Palm Beach in the midst of this never ending NY chill to remind me how hip and FUN preppy styling can be. Sunglasses required ! The mix of plaids, madras, florals, dots and stripes with neutrals and just a dash of bright colorful pop can do a wardrobe good and jump-start your Summer style.


Tennis Anyone ... 

One need not be a player to adopt the totally prepped out style of traditional tennis attire .. begin with a varsity sweater ... add some white shorts a collared shirt and leave the socks at home ... nothings says prep more than a sockless loafer look ..

Next are some style recommendations for pairing color and pattern with great jewelry and accessories for that not even trying but look fabulous flare .. a picture paints a thousand words so let's just get to the point ... chose items in your wardrobe to pair, match and style accordingly. You may find that you only need to add a few newbies to achieve your look ... or better yet ... you will see your existing wardrobe in a whole new way ... have a look ...


Nautical But Nice ... choose red, white and blue with a few striped elements and gold accents and you are ready to set sail for Summer 




Pinks are the new RED when it comes to preppy dressing ... have a look at these super cute parings ...


Uber Prep and FAB !






A few more sweet Summer prep pairings ... a little Micheal Kors and a bit of Tory Burch and whatever else suits your fancy .. make the look your own ...










It wouldn't be prep without the addition of bows, pearls colorful statement necklaces or an armful of chain link bracelets and great over sized watch ... monograms are a added touch when prep styling ... these looks are so wearable and so IN ...



Don't forget the Hunter wellies to increase your prep factor  ...




Now let's take the Preppy 101 theory discussed above and head to the streets for real street style prep pairings you will LOVE ...
