Prep/ivy/trad/whatever

I remember seeing a photo in one of these threads of a guy wearing a Patagonia fleece vest and a button down Oxford. Cane someone help me out and repost?

Where'd you get the coat?

vans

emergency bump

where to cop high waisted trousers?

J. Press trousers are pretty damn high.

Bump

already have some light tan chinos, what colour should i buy next?

Navy, grey, darker grey, stone (light cream), white. Look for different texture and fabric as well.

Well my grandpa dresses this way and it pisses off lefties so that's all the reasons I need

Polo shirts and cargo shorts - the preppie standard since the late 80's.

I don't see what's being accomplished by pulling the "leftists get mad at preppy styles" memecard because my political views are mostly that way and I dress like this as well.

I can deal with the cargo shorts and polos/button downs (maybe even the shitty quiffs) but Sperrys are cancer to me.

>not being a preppy strasserist

>Yale, Harvard, et al,
>not lefty

top kek

You don't live around California liberals

I don't see what's all that weird about wearing an oxford, khakis, and a sweater. It's not like I'm going around in patchwork madras every day

>Sperrys are cancer
100% agreed.

It's not weird to wear what you described, but these threads tend to include a lot of more aggressive styles.

The actual rich kids who these styles come from aren't leftists. Don't fall for the virtue-signalling.

True, there is some weird stuff posted here. I still enjoy it from a historical standpoint but the most aggressive stuff I'd wear are ribbon/motif belts or the occasional madras shirt in summer. I hope there aren't a bunch of guys at community colleges running around in patchwork madras sport coats, critter pants, and sockless loafers.

>Acting under the name Student Totalitarians United for Prohibiting Ivy Duds, the coalition said it considers traditional American menswear a microaggression that alienates marginalized identities and reinforces white privilege.
>The group presented a list of demands to the deans of all eight Ivy League schools with a 48-hour deadline for their administrations to issue a ban on the following items: tweed sportcoats, khaki trousers, oxford-cloth buttondowns, penny loafers, argyle socks, Shetland sweaters, rep-striped ties, madras shorts and shirts, boat shoes, tweed caps, duffel coats, schoolboy scarves, duck boots, Ray-Bans, popovers, surcingle belts, critter pants, gold-buttoned blazers, and anything patchwork.

This should be made into a steal the look guide.

where can I get trousers like this

With the high waist and slim legs? J. Press

i live in a rural canadian town
i need something more mall tier, i dont like buying clothes online

Buy some stone coloured chinos and get them hemmed by a tailor or your mum

>links april fools article
better get used to it. you're not going to find anything like this in a rural canadian town.

More pics please. I like this style a lot, I would like to do a woman's version but with menswear pieces-- does that make sense?

where to get preppy loafers?

Well women's preppy style is extremely androgynous so you're in luck

alden, bass, ll bean, brooks brothers

Alden tbĥ

Allen Edmonds is the most readily available, high quality option, but Bass for lower price and Alden for higher.

w2c nice sweaters?

lol kjp

W2c good driving mocs?

You don't travel by sea? Do you even /ivy/

Clarks has pretty good ones. A lot of people near me wear Cole Haans but they don't fit me well.

Allen Edmonds would be my #1 though.

>Catholicism

>polo shirt with sport coat

So if you're in a clubhouse that requires a jacket, then you're gonna go out to play another 27 holes, are you gonna change shirts, or wear a practical outfit

why is that a bad thing?

>collar outside of jacket

you know you like it ;^)

>RL makes Olympic uniforms
>Shorts are too long

FUCKING NORMIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

avant-garde prep

HW is objectively the most effay president

DEATH for kafirs and apostates who don the darted jackets and peaked lapels

BEHEAD those who wear black garments excluding leatherwear and knit ties outside of formal occasions

INSHALLAH we shall keep our shirt collars unlined and our shoulders unpadded

Somebody once accused him of being a "Brooks Brothers republican." Bush got offended and held his jacket open to show the J. Press label.

The man is too frat to function.

Is that what isis is fighting for

literally all i want out of life is to be bush 41 circa like 1976 wearing 3/2 patch pocket blazers all day and doing dirty CIA shit all nite

Takbir!

>tfw bought a blazer at J. Press but it's 2-button

I've made a huge mistake.

Ivy State of Ithaca and Southport

who has the prep essentials chart?

what kind? if it's something more formal that's fine. desu i like 2-button better for like grey herringbone or anything in a non-tweed windowpane

would these look good with new balances

>desu at the beginning of a sentence

My pants hem are about right below the ankles but some people insist that they're too short. I've seen even higher cut in vintage photos. What do

Is this it?

Do whatever you feel like. IMO it's too easy for the hems to get dirty on pants that are long enough to break on some shoes.

Happen to know that brand of anorak there?

LL Bean

10/10 pic

Thanks mate

why do I feel and look so tryhard when I try to dress prep but everyone in these inspo pics looks so effortless? what am I missing?

A life of esteem and privilege? Constant posturing from your family to be confident and to carry the family name with pride? Money?

Confident. It'll feel natural eventually. It felt really awkward and tryhard when I first tucked in my shirt for a few weeks. Now it's a natural thing to do like wearing a t-shirt.

Just went on eBay and copped this one for AU$65. Good feels. Yellow-anorak-raincoat. Do I get double prep points?

>tfw lower admission standards for poor-performing minorities plus fairly tolerant admission for rampantly fraudulent Chinese and Indian applicants has forever tarnished the reputation of all Ivy League schools and most major businesses have already taken notice

Not to mention the kind of trash that passes as an Ivy League education even for relatively normal students.

goddamn that's sexy, good cop

Yeah but you couldn't reach the grapes anyway, you stupid fox.

I went to a top-20 school and live near Harvard and MIT where I interact with a lot of students. For all the talk about affirmative action and grade inflation, those kids are on another level with very few exceptions. Even with affirmative action the percentages of black and Hispanic students at those schools are significantly lower than their share of the general population, and you're delusional if you don't think the elite universities took mediocre students in exchange for donations back in the "glory days", which is the only way mediocre students, Chinese or otherwise, get in. The fact that the student body is like 40% Asian despite the admission committee's attempts to keep soft racial quotas should be evidence enough that they still value performance and hard work more than checking the diversity boxes.

As for "the kind of trash that passes for an Ivy League education," Harvard still had a first-year math sequence designed solely for the super-genius math prodigies who they recruit in greater numbers than any other university and put to work winning Putnam prizes year after year, considered the hardest class anywhere on earth. Their first year expository writing class is second to none and everyone I've talked to about it described it as life-changing, which is pretty nuts for a freshman English class taught by a bunch of different professors.

Anyway, the admissions standards and competition were objectively lower and family was a much bigger part of the equation back when all the pics in this thread were taken.

basically this

Some of the lesser Ivy schools are getting shittier but Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are doing just fine

what's the most preppy loafer style? tassels, no tassels?

Penny, horsebit if you know what's really good.

Tassels are lame.

>Anyway, the admissions standards and competition were objectively lower and family was a much bigger part of the equation back when all the pics in this thread were taken.

very true, but i dunno if the overall quality of education/students in the present day is really on the level you're describing

it's true that harvard has gotten a lot more selective over the last 30 years, but at the same time the basic fact that the internet exists has made it sort of laughable to say that it's the only place you can get that kind of education. classes like math 55 and up are distinguished as 'difficult' more by their pace than their content, and even then there are always a couple kids a year who skip them entirely, so in terms of sheer numbers it's not like there aren't plenty of kids at second and third tier schools who could handle the coursework

also i don't know who you talked to about expos 20, but although it was reasonably well-taught overall, when i was taking it everyone basically considered it a chore

it's a good school and everything but you've gotta keep in mind that literally every year since harvard was founded it was possible for a complete dipshit like myself to get in just by being from the greater new england area and being better than average at rowing

What are the best kind of socks for Tretorn Nylites (besides none, which is how I usually wear them)? Tried a couple different kinds and they all looks a bit off

w2c cricket/tennis sweaters besides RL or BB?

Well, I go to UCLA. Good school, not great. And there are tons of dumbshits here that got in from athletics. So that's just a thing at almost every uni.

Did you go to Harvard?

white

like athletic socks? or Wigwams?
