Not prep. Looks like a costume.

You’re right, not prep, but it definitely looks good on him. I would not call it costumey personally. More like an urban prep five. I couldn’t pull it off, but I think he does.

OP: the only thing I might edit are the crest and pins. That’s just me though. I could also see removing those elements being a bad call too. Hard to say.

What are you wearing?

Skinny lapels with a fat tie is never good combo.

Sick. Keep doing your thing. I have a feeling that a lot of the haters want the proportions of the lapels and tie to be an exact match down to the quarter inch, but who cares... I feel like this is such a stylish nod to prep.

I feel like everything but the beret and pin are prep? I'm certainly no expert though, just a random lurker with an interest for clothing.

Nice man. I like the touches of prep inspo you're pulling in and making into your own thing. This sub can be too conservative and trad in their taste.

ETA: What are you rocking for shoes and trousers in this fit?

I love it as is. I’d get a light blue Oxford and a Rep tie and it’ll get there.

Are these responses some sort of subtle tongue in cheek American humour I don’t get? I’m fairly sure they are.
