Si j'en crois les anglo-saxons, c'est leur style BCBG, en fait (c'est moi qui surligne) :
"
Get your clothes from a traditional, upper class store. Get timeless classic clothes that will always look stylish. DO get brands such as Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, Vineyard Vines, Lacoste,Tommy Hilfiger, J. Crew, Martha LeWren, Nantucket Brand,Ann Taylor, and Lilly Pullitzer. A common misconception is that clothes from Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch & A.E. are preppy, but a traditional prep would disagree. These brands are for wannabe preps and normal teens.
Buy the preppy style clothes. Just because you got some clothes from an upper class store doesn't mean they are preppy.
Buy clothes that are classic, and clean-cut. Don't be afraid to splurge on these a little, as preps tend to hold onto clothes for a long time. Remember to make sure your clothes are always clean, and always match. Good fabrics are very important.
Get rid of any polyester. Buy mostly 100%cotton, wool and cashmere. Wear preppy colors. Bright and happy, like green, pink, light blue... nautical red, white and navy blue and preppy patterns- plaid, stripes, gingham, polka dots, argyle, floral, paisley, nova checks, tartan.
Here are some suggestions for that type of clothing:
Polo shirts
Oxford shirts (unlike polos, oxford shirts should always be long sleeved - if it is warm outside simply roll up the sleeves)
Rugby shirt
Cable-knit vests and sweaters (traditional cricket sweaters).
Cardigan sweaters in preppy colors and patterns (but keep in mind that tying it around your neck might be a little overboard)
A fitted jacket or blazer (try seersucker, madras plaid, tweed or simple black, navy or brown)
Dark denims or chino pants
Khaki pants.The prep equivalent to jeans.
Bermuda shorts (khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, linen or preppy prints and patterns)
Skirts (khaki, madras plaid, seersucker, linen, preppy prints and patterns)
Tea dresses and summer dresses (in madras plaid, preppy colors, seersucker, or linen.) A-line dress, halters, and flowy dresses are acceptable.
Tennis and golf inspired shirts, skirts and dresses
Color coordination is key! If your unsure about how to put together out fits, google "preppy outfits or visit the Preppy Journal online (
http://preppyjournal.com) to see Preppy articles and styles. "
Sans doute plus de motifs et de couleurs que le BCBG de chez nous, mais cela est pleut-être plus vrai des catalogues que de ce que les gens portent en fait. De toute façon, le BCBG français est massivement d'origine anglaise, et le style preppy semble très Nouvelle Angleterre.
Kitsune a l'air bien chic, en tout cas, mais j'espère qu'il ne se limite pas à un public 15-25 ans. Ce sont peut-être les mannequins qui me donnent cette impression.
