We need one of these threads for miscellaneous questions without the need for a new thread every time. Correct answers only please.


My question: what the hell is "preppy polo"? My girlfriend said we're invited to some lounge bar next Wednesday and the dress theme is "preppy polo".

I've googled it and so far it just looks like a pastel coloured polo shirt with jeans or plaid shorts. But if I turn up and I've got the wrong idea as to what it is I'll look like a douche.

Anyone know for reals?

It doesn't literally mean a polo shirt you tards it means nice casual clothes, like what rich people wear on the weekends. Bermuda shorts and a polo or buttondown.

I have some questions, perhaps better suited to DS&T:

Are Usa/Nato going to go into Syria?  No that journalist +1 other has been killed.  I watched BBC News at 6pm last night and saw her report from there.

Whats going to happen with Iran?  Are Israel going to nuke them in March?

So the short answer is I can wear a douchey looking polo (collar down) with jeans and dress shoes?

No jeans. Khakis.

I think the khakis aren't as bad as the plaid shorts *shudder*

Nothing wrong with a pair of khakis. They're more comfortable than jeans.

There have been honest bits of real knowledge and experience in that thread.
Which was, of course, patently ignored.

I told you exactly what to wear. The Sperries are crucial.

no idea, but if you wear them, i'm pretty sure it's overboard for a 'preppy polo' themed party

According to google it's a type of shoe.

and all the preppy douchebags here at yale wear them. absolutely necessary if you want to be authentic.

also note that its best to have shorts that don't go past the knee. just google chino shorts and you'll see.

the fratdaddies here love the sperries + chino shorts (of some wild color like salmon or green) + tucked-in shirt that contrasts with the shorts look
