British Girls Won't Quit These Preppy Outfit Staples
While combing through street style photos of celebs and fashion girls, we came to a realization: British girls are huge fans of classic preppy pieces and wear them over and over again. Items like trench coats, checked blazers, and menswear-inspired collared shirts are in constant rotation in their closets. But the interesting thing is the way they style them. Instead of feeling too conservative, the way they wear them feels fresh and cool. A plaid skirt might be paired with shiny sock boots while a button-down top is paired with jeans and fur-embellished slides. Go on to get some inspiration from their preppy outfit ideas.
Stay warm in London weather and pair a fur coat with a checked skirt and tall satin boots.
A checked pantsuit and graphic tee is a cool-girl way to stay chic in the winter.
Try out colorful corduroy pants with a chic blouse and oversize coat.
Staying simple is the key to a preppy outfit. Sienna Miller does this by tucking a sophisticated blouse into her vintage denim.
British supermodel Jourdan Dunn creates a cool preppy look by pairing an off-the-shoulder top with a plaid skirt.
Victoria Beckham has mastered preppy and chic style. Take a page from her book and pair an oversize check coat with statement trousers.
Opt for a cool statement blouse and simple trousers for a sophisticated look.
For a cool office look, try out an oversize trench on top of a simple dress.
Next, shop the comfortable dresses you need in your closet.
