Fall 2024 Trend: Preppy 

Preppy style is making a solid return this season with timeless staples like polo shirts, dresses, cardigans, knit vests, pleated skirts, and loafers.

The key to nailing this look? You don’t need to wear all the pieces at once—unless that’s your style!

Feel free to mix in just one or two preppy items to create a balanced look. 

 For example, here are some modern takes on polo shirts and dresses. While preppy isn’t a core part of my personal style, I’d easily pair one of these shirts with jeans or style the dresses with boots and a cropped jacket—whether denim or wool. 

 How do you feel about the preppy trend? Would you add any of these pieces to your fall wardrobe?
