Today, this article will help you with how to implement preppy style within Lolita Fashion. A preppy style lolita outfit suit has a student uniform vibe, which is classic, elegant, and literary. Preppy style lolita is not a lolita substyle but a theme, which reminds you of academy students.

What is Preppy Style?

The term "Preppy" derives from "prep school" which means private, university-preparatory school. It refers to the style of students who have attended Ivy League schools. Preppy fashion is more sporty and casual than a real school uniform.

A classic preppy style outfit normally consists of a v-neck cricket sweater, an Oxford shirt, a pleated skirt or a plaid skirt, and a pair of boat shoes or Loafers.

Example 1. V-neck Cricket Sweater +Oxford Shirt+Pleated Skirt +Boat Shoes/Loafers

Here are some other examples of the preppy style:

Example 2. Blazer + Oxford Shirt + Pleated Skirt/Plaid A-line Skirt + Boat Shoes/Loafers

Example 3. Polo Shirt +Bermuda Shorts or Pleated Skirt + Boat Shoes/Loafers

Besides the items above, denim skirts, casual suit pants, corduroy pants, and straight Leg Jeans are also welcomed in other cases. 

Preppy Style Lolita Coordinate Ideas

Lolita Fashion can incorporate all kinds of elements including this kind of vintage, conservative, and classic leisure fashion.

Here are FIVE useful coordinate ideas for you to put together a good preppy style lolita outfit. The first one is to pick up the most "literary" skirt in your wardrobe and pair it with a button-up shirt or blouse.

The second is more formal than the first one. With a blazer or a v-neck cardigan, the whole outfit will be layered and warm. 

While pairing a top with a cape would give off a more elegant vibe and is ideal for winter.

The fourth idea is the easiest. Just pick up the dress that has a strong academy vibe. For example, the print's theme on this dress and the dark green color would remind you of a student from the magic academy in Harry Potter. 

Also, the JSK and Jacket set is also a good choice. The shirt, especially those with sailor collar design or with tie design, always brings the whole outfit a JK uniform vibe.

I hope that using those tips above will ensure you implement preppy style with your lolita wardrobe easily.
