Description

While originally referring to preparatory school students, the modern internet version describes a specific Gen Alpha and Gen Z subculture obsessed with bright colors and specific skincare brands. It often involves a high-energy, positive persona and a preference for brands like Lululemon or Drunk Elephant. This usage is distinct from the classic 'old money' preppy look, leaning more towards a vibrant, social-media-driven lifestyle.

Example

> My little sister is in her preppy era and won't stop asking for that expensive face cream.

> That outfit is so preppy with the bright headband and the matching athletic set.
