New year, same look (well, kind of). Keep scrolling for inspo on how to wear the latest version of classic preppy style, from bold suiting updates to some serious pattern play.

Pattern Play
Have fun with prints and patterns by mixing of-the-moment colors and silhouettes. A bright windowpane-check blazer gives a whole new meaning to the term “buttoned-up,” while a midi skirt featuring an ever-preppy stripe looks super fresh with pristine, white ankle booties.

The New Classic
These are your standby faves, but with a few twists and turns. The tried-and-true button-down gets a makeover with a slouchier silhouette. And as for suits? Fitted is out, laid-back is in. Swap out your nipped-waist jackets for something a bit more relaxed (and equally as timeless).

For the Fam
For the gents, a tailored blazer/polo/chinos uniform is a foolproof and modern update on prep. For the kiddos, an easy printed dress and sneaker combo will keep your mini-me ready for days on the go – or for when you’re chasing after them.
