As someone that's been dressing this way since about 1977, your examples in this video are perfect and stunning. I live in Boston, where Preppy used to be very big (Harvard.....go figure!), but I seem to be a dying breed! But........I always get a lot of compliments. I have subscribed and will check out some more of your videos. Thanks!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Thank you for the kind comment Simon, and I am sure you have great style. :) I wouldn't say this style is a dying, but it isn't as prevalent in the cities it was rooted in. Men from other locations have picked up on the style and keep it alive.

[@djr7144]

The preppy style is still booming in the southern cities.

[@QuintessentialGent]

@@djr7144 That's good to hear! :)

[@aswadmalik1740]

Ive been dressing like this since 1980 and it is timeless.

[@grandisonhill2597]

As a senior preppy a vintage Burberry DB trench is a must, Bass pennies, flat caps, a good crush Fedora, single buckle Monk, a British hunting jacket vs Barbour, a Seiko Diver, Harris Tweed sports jacket .....additions are welcomed. LOVE YOUR EFFORTS HERE, KEEP IT UP!!!

[@QuintessentialGent]

All great items! I personally lean towards the English influence of items, and tried to keep this more for the broader audience. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@1114gabby]

agree with all those suggestions!

[@fashionsenseforthewiseands2023]

Good selection/recommendations of classic style.

[@brrruzischniedelwutzi1446]

The video I didn’t know i needed

[@rwsmith6809]

Overall great job, I would add a navy wool pea coat, a wool duffel coat (preferably Burberry), cashmere V-neck sweaters.

[@QuintessentialGent]

Great items, thanks for recommending them.

[@grandisonhill2597]

OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION!!!

[@JP-1990]

I love me a good shawl-collar cardigan. Shawl collar pullovers, not so much, unless it has a nice button or toggle. Also, if I could make a recommendation, give yourself a bit less headroom in the frame. Also maybe position yourself to the side so that you could have a picture next to you. "Rule of thirds" is your best friend, I find. Other than that, great video. I even learned a new term: tattersall, which I know I've seen but never knew the name of!

[@JohnJohnson-fr5cx]

You, good sir, ARE The Quintessential Gent. Tip of the hat 🎩 to you

[@QuintessentialGent]

Being a quintessential gent is an aspirational goal, and not necessarily a state. Thank you for the compliment John. :)

[@michaelaustell8377]

Hey bro, great video. I'm really into the preppy sweater look. Keep up the good work

[@dararohan1209]

Thanks for the video.

[@QuintessentialGent]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@dararohan1209]

@@QuintessentialGent The winter/fall style is still relevant for me in rainy Ireland 😂😂😂.

[@QuintessentialGent]

@@dararohan1209 While I do like some rain, I hope you'll see some sunny days too. :)

[@ryanmilanovic303]

This is a pretty good preppy style guide; other ones I’ve viewed were too conservative and crossed the line too much into the related-but-more formal Ivy League style.

[@raulferia1516]

You forgot the Duffle coat, also kmown as Monty (Montgomery) coat

[@raulferia1516]

Polo coat (camel hair)

[@rawtheran9319]

Nicholas, you did an awesome job in this video! I plan on getting some cords here before the end of November. I did have style question for you though when it comes to button-down shirts do you think they should always be tucked with pants like denim/chinos or is it ok to untuck?

[@QuintessentialGent]

Thank you, I'm so happy you liked the video. I mostly personally prefer the shirt tucked in. Nowadays it is perfectly acceptable wear your shirt untucked depending on the occasion, such as less formal ones.

[@Besalu]

Argyle sweaters

[@gclark8228]

What no classic Duffle or Pea coats?

[@Besalu]

Where do I buy those sweaters?

[@Jack-jh5ls]

What is that waxed cotton jacket you are wearing in the thumbnail of the video? Curious what brand or where you got it…

[@QuintessentialGent]

It's a Barbour Beaufort.

[@ulfwesterholm8270]

Nice video However I would rather Wear a flatcap Than a baseballcap. :)

[@QuintessentialGent]

I much prefer a flat cap or baker boy for my personal taste. I didn't find the flat cap prevalent a piece to include it over the baseball cap. Thanks for the comment.

[@welfordcoleman6968]

You forgot to mention the Classic Navy Blue Hooded Toggle Coat with the Rope Loop for the Toggles. What?

[@QuintessentialGent]

Definitely a great coat! It's hard to limit the pieces down to a few essentials. I was thinking that I should do another video to cover some additional items. What other items do you think should be included?

[@raulferia1516]

Leather gloves!!!

[@jasonsmith7416]

Ugg! Preppy isn’t boring or bland - find it completely the opposite if done correctly.

[@QuintessentialGent]

I don't find the style boring either.

[@welfordcoleman6968]

You forgot the Toggle Coat.

[@charlesforbin8526]

No Harrington?

[@QuintessentialGent]

Hi Charles! It was tough to narrow down the list especially for the dynamics of Fall and Winter. The Harrington is definitely a preppy piece, but didn't make the cut for this video. A lot of other people have mentioned other items, and I've been tossing around the idea of a follow up video with additional pieces. Are there any others you would include?

[@duckbear1892]

What are the shoes in the thumbnail?

[@QuintessentialGent]

They are LL Bean 8" boots.
