Styling Preppy Girl Outfits
Preppy styles look precious on baby girls. The key is to lean into simplicity. Focus on subtle, sensory-forward textures, and keep accessories simple. For baby girls, we like to pair neutral bases, like preppy rompers and bubbles, with bolder bows and headbands.
Choose versatile staple pieces. Some of our favorite preppy details for girls include:
- Peter pan collars
- Ribbed knit necklines
- Scalloped detailing
- Puffed sleeves
- Ruffled edges
Adding a monogram or name embroidery is another way to make things preppy. Plus, embroidery is a timeless touch that can turn any simple piece into a cherished heirloom.
Crafting Preppy Boy Outfits
Preppy clothing makes little boys look handsome without taking away their freedom to move, groove, and explore.
Little boys shine in preppy pastel colors. Look for ways to add additional texture by layering brights over knit neutrals.
Some of our favorite preppy details for boys include:
- Soft knee socks in neutral colors
- Polo style collars
- Stripes and nautical detailing
- Shortalls layered over neutral basics
- Cable knit details
- Classic, button-front cardigans
As with preppy girl's styles, classic boy’s clothing can stand out with an embroidered name or monogram. When your little one outgrows these timeless pieces, they will look perfect in a shadow box or in a frame.
Choosing classic styles ensures that your photos and mementos stand the test of time, inspiring joy for generations to come.
