Fashion[]
When it comes to this aesthetic the clothes are meant to symbolize wealth, femininity and power. The purpose here is to make everyone think "Wow, that girl could ruin lives while wearing heels higher than my pay grade!". It typically consists of plaid skirts, matching blazers, white shirts under sweaters or dresses with the collar sticking out and knee socks. Mary Jane and Oxford shoes are also seen a lot, and while hairstyles are varied, accessories are everywhere and headbands are a must. Even though sometimes people think that in order to follow the aesthetic you need to be rich or have lots of money, it is possible to be inspired by it on a budget and replicate (or create your own) looks without spending a lot.
Lifestyle[]
Although it is mostly manifested through fashion, pretty preppy also has an associated lifestyle, which is usually centered around friends, getting good grades at school, shopping, and spending money. It doesn't have as much "showing off" as McBling but it's classier than Bubblegum Bitch.
