Prep School-inspired Items to Add to Your Wardrobe – Hour Detroit Magazine
Inspired by timeless Ivy League style, this season the classic prep school look is anything but, thanks to design houses like Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Dries Van Noten. This time-honored trend gets a high-fashion update for fall with cutting-edge cuts, bold colorways, and unexpected pattern play — think reimagined checks and stripes, streamlined letterman jackets, and exaggerated button-ups. Here, we’ve selected a few that make the grade.
