Preppy menswear is never not in style, but this season it was presented with a creative makeover.
Traditional collegiate garms such as rugby shirts, Oxford cloth button-downs, and rowing blazers, are getting a whole new look. The secret is in the styling: go for oversized OCBDs, with extra baggy check shorts, finished with a loose-fit varsity cardigan. Baggy chinos by the likes of Tommy Hilfiger and Dockers make great partners for the multi-coloured blazers at Izac and Polo Ralph Lauren. Otherwise, a striped rugby shirt by Sandro or Diesel can be styled with tailored check shorts and hi-tops for a modern twist of genres. Mix your plaids with your stripes and stick to soft pastel tones to blend everything together. Too cool for school.
