PREPPYMAXXING
The collegiate wardrobe gets reimagined as something bigger, bolder, and a little irreverent. Striped sweaters, argyle vests, and rugby polos layer over corduroy and denim, while loafers and knee socks nod straight to varsity roots. But nothing here stays quiet: proportions swell, patterns clash on purpose, and colors get louder than any actual campus dress code. Ties and shirt collars sneak into shorts and cropped silhouettes, keeping the schoolboy references playful rather than stiff. Wales Bonner, W***y Chavarria, Prada, Philipp Plein, Acne Studios, Vetements, EGONLAB, MSGM, and Thom Browne all reinterpret the codes their own way, from tailored polish to exaggerated street energy. It’s prep school style, pushed past good behavior into something far more knowing.
