Francesca Buffo, founder of Lady Holiday, has a few go-to styles. The Preppy Girl Society is one of them β hereβs how to wear it well.
Preppy Girl Society by Lady Holiday is everything that's preppy. It embraces traditional style elements while adding unique vintage touches. This collection represents timeless sophistication with playful, unexpected details that elevate classic preppy looks.
I create pieces like a navy blue leather clutch bag that I enhance with a touch of real green ribbon to add a new element. My collection includes leather cuffs featuring equestrian cross horse bits and other accessories that combine preppy aesthetics with vintage charm.
The Preppy Girl embraces timeless classics. She wears loafers, cigarette pants, and loves a crisp white button-down. Her wardrobe foundation consists of these traditional pieces, but she elevates them with distinctive accessories and unexpected combinations.
What makes her unique is how she incorporates heritage pieces with modern basics. She'll wear her grandmother's mink stole over a simple white t-shirt and long skirt. She accessorizes with lots and lots of pearls, horn-framed glasses, and carries Harry's tote bag with her monogram proudly displayed.
This style celebrates tradition while embracing personal expression. The preppy aesthetic is about quality, classic silhouettes, and tasteful combinations, but the Preppy Girl Society adds that element of surprise through vintage accessories and unexpected styling choices.
