FW21 preppy styles you’ve never seen before
Colorful cardigans, asymmetrical pleated miniskirts and chunky loafers: preppy style renews itself in the Fall Winter 2021 2022 fashion
Among the Fall Winter 2021 2022 fashion trends, we rediscovered the love for preppy style which is, today more than ever, contemporary and full of energy. In case you were wondering how to wear its best city version, here are some tips.
There’s a clear reference to the Gossip Girl and Riverdale generation but taken to extremes in order to create a look ready to face everyday life. The College is no longer a distant memory and we find again that desire to dare by using English or American uniform key pieces. Let’s think about pleated miniskirts proposed in warm tartan motifs (also with fluo inserts), about sweaters with maxi buttons and chunky loafers with a thick sole.
Even the outerwear falls into the university mood: the designers focus on the men’s blazer with patches to wear with turtlenecks or wool vests, but also the voluminous bomber to rest on the shoulders on colder days.
Remember not to leave behind details such as the leather shoulder straps to wear across ( from the shoulder to the side), long socks that touch the knees and the French beret for that original touch.
Even men’s fashion brings back the preppy style: a varsity jackets and cardigans explosion in a total Breakfast Club’s style, plaid prints and patchworks appear on sweaters and jeans. The fashion concept is to wear college elements by de-contextualizing them: just try fancy pants and a pleated skirt as Burberry suggests.
