Are you one of the many people that have fallen victim to the preppy fashion trend? Is your preppy jacket making you look like one of the Cool Kids? This year is the year that everyone (and I mean everyone!) is trying to step outside their comfort zones and try new things. Here are some of the trends that we saw this year and I’ll tell you which ones are cooler than others.
Most importantly, I want to discuss the sweatshirts. Preppy fashion has always been about the accessories, and sweaters and cardigans are at the top of the accessory list for this year’s preppy style. Sweaters like the North Face Catwalk are really popular right now, but look out for sweatshirts that feature all different kinds of designs like stripes, paisley, or animal prints. Cardigans, including those from American Apparel are also incredibly popular as well. Look for sweatshirts, tees, and sweatshirts in these brands; they’re all very stylish and preppy!
One of the most important things that I want to discuss with you today is the shoes. This year there are a few key trends that I want to discuss. One of these trends is “sneakers + big shoes.” This trend is especially good if you are in the market for some designer inspired shoes but don’t necessarily want to wear the actual brand name brand footwear. The trend includes both sandals and shoes, and both of these trends will really make you stand out!
