Preppy Shirt Design with AI
Preppy style comes from American campus dress: polos, blazers, chinos and stripes.
For a preppy shirt, ask for cotton poplin (90 to 130 g/m²) or wool challis (110 to 160 g/m²).

Look for crisp cottons, oxford cloth, cable knits, tweed and flannel in clean stripes and checks.
