Reader Question: Preppiest Jeans? Or is that an oxymoron?

A Reader Question:

I understand that jeans are never preppy. There are, however, occasions when jeans are handy. What jeans do preps wear should they ever wear jeans?

  1. It's not an oxymoron. Plain, classic Levis.

  3. Plenty of preps are still wearing dungarees.

  4. White 501´s or Wrangler´s 13MWZ for playing polo are great. Anything fancier like Casablanca or even PoloRL is crap, IMHO. Why wear them in any other time?

  5. I miss my old Levis because I won't purchase any jeans made in the last 20 years due to poor quality cotton and added spandex.
