Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women of all time she is classy and perfect. Her ruffle shirt and bun combo wouldn't look out of place in 2012 because her look is classic. Her cropped trousers that draw in her waist are perfect for regaining a hourglass figure in any clothing.
Preppy 1988
Maybe they are a little more into padded shoulders but boyfriend blazers and peter pan collars seem very familiar to me. Color blocking and patterns are preppy staples. I personally think collar brooches are dying for a come back they are so cute and keep a masculine shirt feminine.
Preppy 1995
The movie clueless is one of the most fashionable films of all time in my personal opinion. It displayed preppy teens in a new light. Cher and Dion both work incredibly hard to retain an image and when they see new student Ty they decide to give her a makeover. Their polished style has repeated itself year after year because it is the classic prep. Short skirts, big collars and new high socks... remind you of anything? Some of the biggest trends of the year are actually 90s repeats.
Preppy 2003
This film is incredibly stylized. However bold prints, big collars and head bands with an array of bright colors dominates the screen. Renee plays a feminist author who vows not to fall in love blah blah blah. Back to the clothes a mash up of fifties housewife and power suits. Juxtaposition within fashion is always fabulous so whats not to love about a pastel pink structured blazer? The shoulders keep is strong and the colors keep it feminine.
Preppy 2008
Gossip Girl was a fashion frenzy and Blair never failed to bring the prep to the community. Her signature was color popping, structured bags and headbands. Not unlike Dion and Cher, Queen B used the shirt and mini skirt combo with new patterns and colors to remain fresh. The bright colors mimic "Down With Love", preppy repeats itself can you see it yet?
Preppy 2009
Glee and 90210 both had characters with Preppy wardrobes in 2009, Rachel Berry the unpopular dreamer and rich, beautiful, popular Naomi Clarke. While Rachel has a more geek than chic look Naomi channels her inner Jackie Kennedy with her pearls and pastels. Rachel goes for the standard tank, like Cher even with a similar print.
Preppy 2012
Spider man is a huge movie at the moment, Emma Stones character is the clever, over achiever yet astoundingly likable. However her style is typical prep with an edge. Sticking to black, grey and blue with hints of red. Understated preppy is a great autumn/winter style. Mixing a sensible style with a mini skirt keeps it fun and young while still maintaining a powerful image. Perfect for the return to college look.
My Advice? Preppy is always recurring. Never throw it out. Give two years and it'll be back in.
