Spring wakes a sense of rebirth and starting over. In terms of style, the choice of clothing often reflects ones mood. This spring we combine green and flowery designs, with a colourful preppy style, seasoned with streetwear elements in the form of detailing, cut and styling. The expression takes shape via three classic preppy brands, where colours and details go hand in hand with the season’s plants.

Polo Ralph Lauren

Polo Ralph Lauren has since their establishment been the centre of the preppy style. Penny loafers paired with a matt green shirt and a cap in a style reminiscent of classic Nantucket Red's. Get inspired by the thought of warm asphalt along Route 66, whilst filling up your Ford Mustang at a filling station.

GANT

With a breath of the nineties, light denim goes hand in hand with a rugby shirt from Gant. The brand’s signature loafers secures the outfit’s preppy style. The perfect example of how lighter tones can allow colourful elements to take centre stage.

Morris

Navy blue, off-white and boat shoes create a harmony of maritime elements or perhaps a casual garden party. The bright blazer becomes the casual summer element of a more orderly, sophisticated outfit. A knitted sweater worn over the shoulders comes in handy when the sun has gone down and the evening draws in. A slightly faded dark baseball cap keeps the outfit tied to any campus.
