Prep-Inspired Outfits for Fall

Make the style honor roll this fall with preppy outfits that feel effortlessly put together. From striped cardis and polished plaid, to pretty pleats and logo graphics, we’ve got everything you need to put some prep in your step.

Part of the Team

Collegiate-chic style is here to stay. We are loving sporty-meets-preppy looks for going to class to going out and about. Rock a cropped college graphic tee with destructed Mom Jeans and high-top sneakers, paired with a braided belt and tons of team spirit, of course.

XOXO Gossip Girl

Go full-on prep school with a striped sweater vest paired with a plaid mini skirt for a look that is worthy of being caught by the OG Gossip Girl herself. Add the perfect finishing touches for lunch on the Met steps like a bucket hat or a puffy satin headband.

Head of the Class

School is back in session and we got you covered with ‘fits that take you from homeroom to hangouts. A comfy fleece hoodie, blue-light-blocking glasses, and your go-to denim are all you need.  

Pro tip: layers are the way to go for all your after-class activities. Throw on an athletic logo tee and add a super-soft flannel and classic denim jacket. Finish it off with a baseball cap and varsity crew socks for a look that is ready for pre-game tailgates and cheering from the bleachers.

Low-Key Sporty

Embrace the varsity vibes (no skill required) by swapping a letterman for a cool denim jacket with an AE logo across the back. Add sporty stripes and bright sneakers for a laid-back look that will totally win you homecoming king. If not, the vote was sooo rigged.
