Old-school prep is back with a fresh twist for Spring 2024, introducing the new prep as one of the loved trends to wear.
Designers across the globe have offered a more sophisticated approach to this trend, exploring new versions of classic preppy layers. Cardigans, button-downs, polo shirts, and pullovers received a refresh at Bally, Miu Miu, Loewe, MSGM, and Dries Van Noten, thanks to the addition of flouncy, frothy tulle, and layered mini skirts.
But the key item that emerged as the real hallmark of preppy style was the polo shirt, spotted everywhere in different styles.
Miu Miu, for instance, has been introducing a new take on preppy staples, where polo shirts serve as a recurring element in their looks.
Meanwhile, at Dries van Noten, the polos were as preppy as they come, with wide horizontal stripes and an Ivy League colour palette, giving to this everyday cotton jersey a street-style edge.
The new prep style, brings a fresh blend of masculine and feminine elements, offering a delightfully daring remix. For a chic touch, consider pairing a loose polo with relaxed denim, preppy boat shoes or ballet flats, and topping it off with a classic trench coat. This ensemble makes for the ultimate weekend uniform, effortlessly combining comfort and sophistication.
