US Open Classic Fit Jersey Rugby Shirt

"It's officially US Open season. Stand out from all the tennis white throughout Flushing Meadows with a rugby shirt by the modern master of prep Ralph Lauren. This navy jersey is part of the brand's 2024 US Open Tennis Championships collection." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Jordaan Loafer

"A good loafer can go a long way when it comes to wardrobe staples, and a Gucci loafer always fits the bill. Mix it up by adding a bit of color for end of summer fun." —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant

Greta Blazer

"A double-breasted navy blazer adds the perfect preppy touch to dress up pretty much any outfit—it can add masculine structure to a flirty and femme dress or turn a basic jeans and tee into a going out 'fit, to say nothing of the statement potential of a complete suit combo." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

The Brooklyn Button Down

"I love this Katie and Kime cotton button-up. The monogrammed addition adds a personal touch, while the stripes make it a classic preppy closet necessity. Wear it long and relaxed, or tucked and traditional, either way it is a chic staple." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director

Cotton Chino Ball Cap

"Nothing says preppy like Ralph Lauren! I've recently found myself throwing on a navy Polo Ralph Lauren baseball cap whenever I leave my apartment for errands or walking the dog, and it elevates my casual outfits. Even Taylor Swift has one..." —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor

Shaggy Dog Sweater

"There's nothing better than sweater weather. And J. Press's Shaggy Dog is the ultimate in preppy knitwear. Don't believe me? Look to fans like JFK or Cary Grant. I'm partial to the trim fit, which feels a bit more modern than the classic, but you can't go wrong either way." —Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Director

Pleated Checked Wool Midi Wrap Skirt

"In an effort to incorporate the art of preppy dressing into my daily wardrobe, I turn to none other than Cher Horowitz from Clueless for inspo. As we know from the film, Cher loves a good checkered print and so do I! This midi skirt from Burberry has been on my wishlist for a few weeks now and I'll take this as a sign from the universe that I'm meant to wear it this coming Fall and Winter! Don't be fooled by the conventional silhouette of this skirt; the frayed detailing, back pleating and adjustable strap at the waist alludes a rather distinctive, cool-girl feel that I'm sure Cher would 100% approve of and wear today!" —Mayra Morales, Fashion Assistant

Beige W Violin Shirt

"A good button down is a must in any wardrobe. I love the detailing on this Vivienne Westwood one. From the long collar, double buttons, and stripes, I find it to be an edgy and unique take on a preppy classic." —Kiara Mastropasqua, Fashion Assistant

The Double Buckle Mary Jane in Black

"Another key to any preppy wardrobe is a classic Mary Jane shoe. I love Rothy's new Double Buckle version of their square-toe Mary Janes, and I can't wait to wear them all fall." —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor

The Everyday Shirt

"No wardrobe is complete without a white button down shirt, right? I have a striped version of this shirt that I wear all the time, and now I want it in white. A top that truly lives up to its name." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Bon Bon Collapsable Leather Loafers

"I just can't resist a good loafer. I love this pair because it's laidback and not-your-usual-stuffy style with a gathered trim. It also has a soft heelcap that fully collapses, which converts the shoe into a slipper. This is not a want, it's a need for fall." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Striped Rugby

"I am long past my varsity sports days, but a bit of sporty prep I am always on board with. I love Guest in Residence's colorful takes on the rugby shirt each season, and the fact that it's cashmere? Well, it's irresistible. I'd style this with a classic denim mini and Mary Janes, but add a baseball cap for a bit of added fun. Perfect for back to school!"—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

Sloane Pant

"You can't do prep without a good pair of chinos, and these, worn slung low and a polo shirt are an easy bet. I could think of a million ways to style them already. A must!"—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
