Below are several must-haves for any preppy wardrobe:
1. Opaque tights: In recent years, tights have become an extremely popular part of many wardrobes since they are easy to pair and make the legs look great with minimal effort. This is why they are an essential part of any preppy wardrobe. Not only do they look great with a little black dress, they work well under a button-up dress shirt or colorful skirt.
2. Blazers: When paired with a scarf, headband, or other feminine accessory, the blazer appears chic and professional. It’s a great substitute for a proper business suit when worn with a pair of dark pants or a pencil skirt. And, when paired with colorful shirts, pants, or suits, they can help someone appear comfortable and fun.
3. Pearl jewelry: Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets made from pearls add a sense of timelessness and elegance to any preppy wardrobe. They match with nearly anything and are often inherited as heirlooms, thus giving them unique sentimental value. Further, lookalike pearl jewelry is available at a huge range of stores for stylists on a budget.
