LOL, I am having so mauch fun on that site! Here is a descrption of the preppy look.
1980s The Preppy Look on Like Totally 80's
Clothes worn in the 80’s Preppie period included blazers, button down shirts, polo shirts, a sweater casually drapes around the shoulders, dress pants, skirts for women and dress shoes (penny loafers). Traditionally, they were nice clothes. Preppies didn’t follow the trends of ripped clothing, punk rockers, neon and exercise gurus. They looked to the future and wanted to be taken seriously, and the first step was looking good.
I personally aimed for as close to the Madonna look as my mom would let me get away with.
