"Spring is officially here and it’s time to add a pop of colour to my outfits! I love the preppy trend as it allows me to have some fun with my looks," says style influencer, Shannon Grace Ella (@shannongraceella).
Prep up your spring wardrobe with varsity-inspired staples in bold colourways. Shannon pairs our comfy-yet-cool track jacket with matching shorts – a fail-safe preppy style combination.
Team with sleek sunglasses and suede trainers for an effortless off-duty outfit, ideal for runaround days.

"Preppy style is about adding a playful twist to classic looks, adding some colour to my usually neutral style, layering with different styles, colours and fabrics. It feels effortlessly polished, relaxed but also chic," says Shannon.
Add the finishing touch to your preppy look with the right accessories to take it up a notch. Shannon pairs our collegiate-inspired drawstring shirt with high-waisted Bermuda shorts, complete with distressed hem.
She styles the look with our minimalist leather flip-flops, while our straw bucket bag adds a touch of texture.
Grand slam
"Preppy style is classic, but with a modern twist and I love that it allows me to experiment with different pieces whilst still keeping true to my style," says Shannon.
Complete your preppy capsule wardrobe with a rugby shirt. Our pure-cotton rugby shirts are a spring must-have and come in bold stripes with contrasting white collars. Shannon pairs hers with lightweight cotton shorts and subtle kitten heels to elevate the look.
White accessories like our slouchy scoop shoulder bag or these retro cat-eye sunglasses are perfect for those warmer, sunny days on the horizon.
