by the 2010s, many american preps opted to dress in a more classic, tailored style closer to the original ivy league look. popular clothings include loafers, sperry top-sider boat shoes, aran sweaters, cardigans, oxford shirts, cricket pullovers, wingtips, stripy polo shirts, hats like the fedora, khaki or pastel colored vineyard vines, nantucket reds, white or bright pastel color socks, colored jeans, baseball jackets, khaki cargo shorts, and tapered chinos. blazers, especially those made from seersucker, had made a comeback as informal or smart casual wear by the mid 2010s, and the traditional two button style was updated with throwback styling inspired by the great gatsby.
