It's that time of year again. Back to school season is officially upon us. At least according to all the TV ads pushing school supplies lately. Even if you've long since graduated, you can still get caught up in the academia mania by working some preppy style into your wardrobe.
The preppy vibe is in this school year as evidenced by the Fall 2023 collections. One of the biggest trending items? Varsity jackets. Seems like every designer has some sort of letterman coverup currently. Luckily, dropping large sums of money isn't required to replicate the look.
Other must-haves include plaid miniskirts, cable-knit sweaters and polos in both shirt and dress forms. Layering is an essential component to any practical preppy look. So don't be afraid to splurge on more summer-ready picks. They'll still be wearable come fall with a little thoughtful planning.
