A League of Your Own
Preppy doesn’t have to mean stuffy. It’s more about that
balance of structured and soft. A chunky cable-knit with a
pleated skirt so sharp it deserves to be stored in a case. Or
an unbuttoned cardigan with impeccably tailored trousers.
But how to make it your own? Unlike the old days, there’s no need to bust out your scissors and DIY a hemline. Because we make pretty much every hemline.

Your only job
is to pick your favourite pieces, then assemble them
according to your own dress code.
But what will your collegiate style persona be? You could posture as a Harvard law grad, ‘90s film student or business major turned ballerina. And while there’s no need to reinvent yourself completely, the option is always there.

Suits
Suits have always had their place in academia. But these
are not the musty duds your physics prof wore, or the stiff
pieces you’d find in an econ lounge. These are tailored
essentials that balance slouch with structure, and rebellion
with responsibility (because they’re made with recycled
materials).
And, great news, you don’t have to wear them with starchy
button-ups. Try pairing with a crop top, a hoodie — a bra,
even. Rules were meant to be broken, then reassembled
into unique aesthetics.
STYLE SUITS WITH
The Peggy Sweater
Nothing says “look out, I’m making a future for myself” like
a closet full of cable-knit sweaters. But let us expand this
vision beyond one stitch configuration. Our beloved Peggy
Sweater now exists in classic cable, Preppy Cable, Sweet
Cable and Chunky Rib. Just add a pleated mini, or any
conceivable bottom, frankly.
As for the itch? It won’t happen. Peggy comes in RePlay
Wool (made from organic cotton, recycled nylon and extra-fine merino) or an equally luxe yarn made with organic
cotton and a hint of cashmere. The verdict for both is Not
Itchy.

WONDER YARN
Speaking of soft — there’s this fabric called Wonder Yarn,
named so because we’ve found it pretty wonderful to make
clothes with. It’s got a peachy feel, spongey texture and
comfy stretch, making it the perfect material for body-
hugging cardigans and sweater dresses.
And since being responsible is (usually) a big part of
collegiate life, Wonder Yarn is made with responsibly
sourced wood fibres.

Accessories
Knit socks are having a moment, which is handy because
your desire to look cute in mini skirts probably doesn’t end
when summer does. And while you’d brave the cold legs,
why not throw on a couple shin sweaters and call it a day?
Or wait. You still need a bag. So consider slinging on a ’90s-era shoulder bag or, if you’re bringing a sweater to the
restaurant, a full-on tote. Without your stuff, you just don’t
feel like you. So best to bring it.
