The Floridian Prep | Luxury Living

Tara Koenke, Photo Editor & Jason Boldt

Spice up the end of your summer by going prep - Floridian Style. Follow these rules to make sure your prep stays in check:

  • The Three C's - Remember the 3 C's: Cool, crisp, colorful, Oh, and clean-cut, casual, cotton, country-club...The quintessential preppy is fresh-scrubbed and all-American, with a classic appeal that transcends fashion
  • Bright Colors - Bolder is better! What keeps these basics from looking boring is a fearless embrace of color the more vibrant and optimistic the better
  • Accessories - Preppy is pulled together, and details matter. Ribbon belts, luxe loafers, crisp cottons, and seersuckers, trim cardigans, and timeless jewelry all come togeher to complete this look
  • Skin & Beauty - Squeaky-clean can be stylish. Women wear their hair sleek and simply styled, with soft, pretty makeup. For men, the look is well-groomed and short haired.
