The Official Preppy Challenge!

[Poomba]

Polo had the highest concentration of social climbers I've ever seen. Admittedly it's a pretty expensive hobby to get good at so you can at least signal disposable income that way...

It's a pretty expensive habit to be bad at as well...

Though to be honest, in my experience there is an inverse correlation between the networth of the player and their playing skill.

The boy in this picture with Lisa Birnbach is Chipp Kidd, her "True Prep" co-author.

Here's another picture of him.

I'm in! In fact this competition has convinced me to sign up. Smashing stuff.

For my entry I chose to emulate the Official Preppy Handbook's “College Boy” look. .
Pink OCBD & vest from Brooks Brothers, LL Bean's Norwegian sweater, wide-wale corduroys & Bean rubber mocs.
Hard to acquire in the UK, but a classic look.

Strong to quite strong.

We'll take you at your word that's an Econ book and you are wearing pale blue boxers.

I'm interested to see who will finish second.

I'm not sure I can get down with affectations reaching all the way to only having one arm on your glasses...or is that just poor photoshop?
