Preppy Vest Design with AI
Preppy style comes from American campus dress: polos, blazers, chinos and stripes.
For a preppy vest, ask for cotton twill (220 to 300 g/m²) or worsted wool suiting (230 to 320 g/m²).

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