| | Here Comes the Preppie Look | TIME |
 | | Many fashion experts point out that the basic appeal of Preppiana is that they are "investment clothes," meaning that they will comfortably ride out the whims of fashion. |
 | | Though a Preppie item will almost always be cheaper than, say, a Pucci or Gucci equivalent, the investment can be substantial: a plaid skirt can sell for $115, a blazer for $100, a seersucker suit for $135. |
 | | *Though the male of the species is often called a preppy, when describing women's fashion the word is usually spelled preppie. |
