  1980s The Preppy Look on Like Totally 80's
Preppies were part of a crowd of college bound kids, deriving the name from the “Prep” schools they attend prior to college.

Preppies didn’t follow the trends of ripped clothing, punk rockers, neon and exercise gurus.

 Page 6 - Issue 2 - Preppie
PREPPIE is probably quite well known by now but deserves a mention as it has some of the best graphics and sound of all the Atari games developed so far.
PREPPIE is like Frogger in that you have to get your 'Preppie' (American for schoolboy) across the golf course with assorted mowers, tractors and golf buggies and then across a river with boats, logs and alligators.
The game is not too difficult to play (I scored over 12000 the first try!) and is probably ideally suited to children even if they just watch you play.

It is worth noting that a school's eliteness or cost does not necessarily mean that is a preppy college.
The term "preppie" is associated, not with dramatic designer fashions, but with conservative clothing brands.
An example of preppy attire would be a navy blue blazer, button-down Oxford-cloth shirt, cuffed khakis, and cordovan loafers.

obert E. Chambers Jr., who served 15 years in prison for killing an 18-year-old woman in a case that became known as the "preppie murder," was released on bail today after his arrest Tuesday night on charges of drug possession and driving with a suspended license.
Chambers, 38, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 1988 in the death of Jennifer Levin.

 Urbane Whit: Stillman on life beyond the preppie world - Independent Online Edition > Features   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1990 his debut film, Metropolitan, displayed Whit Stillman's talent for intelligent humour, tender empathy and sharp social observation of a privileged New York milieu.
The most anxious of them has coined the acronym UHB - "Urban Haute Bourgeoisie" - as a more accurate tribal denomination than the vulgar "preppie", and he worries that all UHBs of his generation are doomed to failure.
Metropolitan itself was anything but a failure, and earned Stillman an enviable reputation which he consolidated with two further films depicting the same type of young Americans, in very different circumstances.

 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.

Ray's sheet-metal intense guitar may once or twice get slammed into too much treble for its own good, but his spaghetti-western-cranked-to-ten playing is fantastic stuff at its best.
"Terminal Preppie," rips into an example of the type with gusto, and the wonderfully sneering "Winnebago Warrior" is just the tip of the iceberg.
The real highlight can be found at the end -- "Moon Over Marin," with a soaring, anthemic surf-rock line from Ray offsetting Biafra's semi-apocalyptic vision of the Bay Area's snooty region.
