If you’ve been keeping up with the fashion trends, you know that preppy styles are ruling fall. Maybe it’s the start of the school year which inspires everyone to break out the plaid, but you should know that preppy fashion extends much farther than the classic checkered pattern. In fact, this year we’re seeing so many fresh silhouettes, fabrics and colors that are completely reinventing preppy style tropes.

From collared dresses, to updated sweater vests and tweed staples, we found some of fall’s trendiest preppy pieces on Amazon. Don’t worry, we also included some of the cutest plaid skirts too. Keep reading to find Amazon’s best preppy fall fashion items!
