As a Black student at a boarding school, I felt locked out of the world of pleated skirts and polo shirts. Now, it’s a different story.The Skirt had a chokehold on the girls at my Connecticut prep school. It was usually folded in a stack right next to the classic polos on the shelves of Abercrombie & Fitch, soaking in the brand’s musky men’s cologne Fierce as it wafted through the air.
Preppy institutions, however, are a different story. At school, the white in WASP was paramount. I was never going to be able to fit in while living with the cast of. But what I didn’t understand was that elsewhere, among certain sects of Black folks, preppy fashion was having a moment. “When it comes to participating in prep’s return to mainstream fashion, it’s easier for me now to remember that it’s a costume.”
When I look at the ways in which prep fashion is returning to the mainstream, it feels like a parody, exaggerated in the style of André 3000 and Big Boi. I can laugh at today’s version of The Skirt, a Miu Miu micro-mini that’s delightfully absurd.
