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?

It's not an oxymoron. Plain, classic Levis.
ReplyDeleteLevi's "button-fly" 501's.
ReplyDeleteLevi's quality is now poor as production has been outsourced to China, Vietnam and Egypt. The exceptions are the limited editions which are made in Japan. Japanese brands such as Full Count and ONI offer much better quality albeit at a higher price but you get what pay for.
DeletePlenty of preps are still wearing dungarees.
ReplyDeleteWhite 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletePshaw!!! ... I invented the jeans with pearls and espadrilles look.
ReplyDeleteFlannel lined for winter snow shoveling.
