FASHION DISSECTION
This month we break down the key attributes of ‘preppy chic’ for all you fashionistas out there...
It is time to head back to university, which means the almighty clear-out of your stationery is looming, as is the impending need to update your wardrobe. We here at TGN know it isn’t always easy to hunt down clothes that can serve as both sophisticated and cool, so we have hand- picked some of the freshest bits and pieces to construct this particular look.
The beauty of dressing ‘preppy’ is that it gives you the freedom to combine elements of chic and smart with care- free and comfortable. Choose classical but elegant garments with neutral or pastel colours such as marine blue, cream, nude, black, grey or pine green. Bank on a skirt above the knees combined with a top or a shirt with a Peter Pan collar and if you are cold, add a cardigan. Regarding the
accessories, you can play with hairband-bows and moccasin shoes.
For example, floral frocks can be combined with over- sized boyfriend blazers and slouchy brogues can be made complete with cute socks. The preppy muses: Alexa Chung, Leighton Meester and Chloé Sevigny.
