True Prep

Students are not the only ones going back to school this season, fashion is too. Preppy style – the cardigans and sweaters, pleated skirts, duffle jackets and sweet blouses associated with America and Britain’s academy-oriented upper crust – is having a moment.

This lookbook by House of Maryanne makes me wish I was an English schoolgirl boarding at a top notch institution, but after staying in a hostel while in Grahamstown last month I'm not too sure if I could truly lead a dormitory life. The clothes on the other hand would gladly be incorporated into absolutely everything I do.
