Hey lovely ladies! Continuing with our preppy style series, today we’re sharing our ultimate guide to preppy dress styles. They’re the dresses every preppy girl should own, and to make it even better, we’re also showing you ways to wear each one.

I’m so excited for this post, because I simply ADORE dresses. They are probably my favorite article of clothing and, if it were up to me, I’d wear them every day. Whether you want a simple and easy dress to wear to class or a formal dress for an evening event, CF has you covered!

The A-line dress is an absolute classic. You can find them in a variety of fabrics and designs, and they can also be worn for almost every occasion. Featuring a pretty periwinkle blue dress, this look can easily be worn to class or around campus on a warm day. A-line dresses are simple, easy-to-wear, and a preppy must. 

2. The Shirt Dress

Shirt dresses are the perfect casual go-to for preppy girls. They absolute scream “summer!”, especially when paired with espadrilles and a lightweight cardigan. This type of dress flatters all figures, and we adore its timeless, menswear-inspired vibe.
