Tory Burch is known for her iconic preppy style. One way of showing her style to the world is by creating preppy clothes. She’s into the whole preppy thing so much that she even combined her retail outlets and cozy headquarters to look like you’re on a museum, with hand-picked antique pieces, travel souvenirs, retro oaks and Louis XVI-style side chairs. So go check her clothing ranges because she’s ultimately the queen of prep.

Vineyard Vines is preppy brand clothing by two brothers. Their style is more laid-back and relaxed, like something you’d wear to hangout on the countryside. The brand is best known for its brightly colored polo shirts and colorful ribbon belts, giving out a modern touch to classic preppy, with a very New England kind of vibe.

Dressing preppy doesn’t mean dressing dorky. If any brand can bring out a crowd, it’s totally Kate Spade. They changed the definition of preppy – they have outfits with playful colors, whimsical prints and preppy girlish silhouettes. We feel like this is the brand Blair Waldorf gets her outfits from. Also, they have cute accessories that go with the outfits. What more can you ask for?

Lilly Pulitzer have colorful and bright patterns, mostly sundresses, skirts and solid-colored polos, stripes and contrasting collars, tennis skorts and beach wear. The brand is meant to be worn to country clubs, yacht clubs and vacations at prestigious places but you can buy these on Target. Lilly is pretty much wearable for any preppy day you feel.

Every preppy girl owns a Gucci or two. They’re absolutely the classic preps. We fell in love with their 2014 pre-fall collection with bright and bold colors but still come with the preppy style. Their one of the pioneers of preppy so it would be best to get your hands on them. They never go out of style.

Lastly, the best preppy jeans are from J Brand. We’re not quite sure why these jeans are what they prefer but we’ve heard the cast from Gossip Girl wore J Brand 811 skinny jeans and paired them with loafers, collars and the like. Besides, Kate Middleton wore their jeans and her style is kind of preppy. These are actually $150 a pair but it’s totally worth it if the future queen of England wears them.
