I saw on Sunday that Michael Doonesbury and I were wearing the same shirt.

1. Was just watching

Cooking videos on YouTube and happened upon the “preppy cook.” So annoying I cut him short. However, I actually like this look.

3. People would be angry if they ever suspected how much

I actually know about this subject.

2. Ten quid says people will soon be shitting themselves over the price points

of the brands in the editorial.

Remember the utterly silly freak out (and rampant virtue signalling) over some bloke here paying a bit over 200 USD for a pair of good quality jeans?

4. I'm surprised that a regular here likes preppy.

I thought that was reserved for rednecks, but it appears not? I am and always have been a boho person, which is what they called the old 'hippie' look. When the boho/hippie looks are in style, I buy them, and buy almost nothing when preppy is the style of the day.

7. I suffered through a traumatic childhood in CT. Some things

scar you for life.

10. My husband likes preppy too for himself, but he's smart enough to let me do my own thing.

He dresses preppy but always wears beaded bracelets & often wears beaded necklaces so it's a little schizo, but after 40 years, who cares.

5. 70s female version

The bow in the 70s was just a little thinner and shorter.

Yeah, I used to wear this type of thing all the time.

12. And some dim bulb thinks the Kardashians are hot.

6. Glad to see everybody catching up to me.

Preppy has never gone out of style, as far as I'm concerned. Although I'm damn sure not paying $205 for an oxford button-down shirt....

8. I have some shirts I would sell for half that!

9. Land's End has their button-down oxfords for around $60.

Works for me.

11. I always thought it made sense money wise. If you are rarely

in fashion, you don't have to buy new stuff. And if you stay thin you can look like JFK or Malcolm X.

13. Who doesn't want to dress like a psychopath?

I mean, Patrick Bateman was the ultimate preppy

[Tomconroy]

14. He was a wannabe

15. I dunno, he reminded me of every Young Republican Preppie I met in college

And this was the 1980s
