Trends: Preppy Style

In 1980, Lisa Birnbach (the author and private school alumna) edited The Official Preppy Handbook, a tongue-in-cheek guide to what she termed "prepdom". Preppy fashion became popular in the 1980s and enjoyed a revival in the 2000s, as did the related style of "Ivy League" clothing.
