- Introduction to dressing types
Ivy Style originated from the dressing style of high school students in the Ivy League, which was formed by eight prestigious universities in the United States in 1954. To integrate into American campus life, besides studying, dressing is also an important aspect that cannot be ignored. At that time, most of the students studying in the Ivy League were either wealthy or wealthy, dressed appropriately, generously, and meticulously. In the later stage, the pursuit of freedom, mixing and matching daily casual clothing with formal attire, this "semi casual and semi formal" style is the prototype of Ivy Style. It can be said that Ivy Style is the middle ground between leisure and formal attire, in which Preppy and Trad have also emerged. Trad, also known as the classic three piece set, has a very standard gentlemanly appearance, while Preppy is more casual. For example, when participating in clubs and outdoor activities, I will switch to loose and lightweight Preppy Look.
In terms of formality, Preppy<Ivy<Trad, but the difference is not significant, it is more a manifestation of the different stages of the times. IVY was popular in the 1950s and 1960s, while Preppy was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Preppy is also a middle and upper class cultural style originating from the United States, emphasizing the slightly conservative and high-quality style of wealthy children, as well as class characteristics and Christian style moral values. Overall, these two academic styles are the most outstanding representatives.
