r/preppy

I'm stymied. I carry a phone, card wallet, notebook, pen, cash and keys. During the fall, winter, and most of spring it's easy, keep crap in pockets. What do you all do for the summer? I hate feeling like a Sherpa withy pockets jammed packed.

Options?

Any wearers could advise on the comfort of these 2 soles? Step weejuns are thicker but super light, I wonder how does the Easy weejuns compare to it? Which one is easier on foot for walking? Thanks

Christmas dinner. Mom, hugging me, says "oh sweetie you look like the Talbots winter catalog." She meant it as a compliment. She actually loves Talbots. I had to wait until I was in the car to spiral.

I'm 34. I shop almost entirely at jcrew, brooks brothers, ralph lauren, occasional sezane. Everything is exactly what you'd expect. Cable knit, oxford, loafer, gold hoop. I love it. I am not trying to stop being preppy.

I just don't want to look 47 at 34. There's a version of preppy that reads young and a version that reads middle aged and I think I tipped into the second one without noticing. Or maybe I'm wrong about that...

This has been happening more and more for me. Maybe I'm buying the wrong shoes? For example, my old Ferragamos and Allen Edmonds fit perfect. My recent purchases, including new ferragamos, Bridlens, and Juliettas (Thai brand), they have massive slippages. Makes it unbearable to walk.

Anything that can clinically be done about it? When I size down, I immediately run out of interior volume and toes start to get painful.

I've tried heel grips - minor improvements. I've tried tongue pads - no difference whatsoever. Any suggestions please?

Hi everyone,

Based on my research I am hearing Roots, Arc'teryx. But would like to hear more of your ideas.

Not mine, but it floated through a group chat. Preppy style meets “competency porn”
