"Prep is back-just in time for fall flights and weekend leaf-peeping getaways. According to Pinterest's 2025 Fall Trends Report, searches for preppy staples are skyrocketing as folks embrace this polished aesthetic. From breezy button-downs and plaid skirts to cozier staples, like striped cardigans and chunky, cable-knit sweaters, dressing like you went to a New England prep school is in-even if you've never stepped foot in New England."
"Luckily for our suitcases, the prep aesthetic leans into comfortable, reliable staples that feel put together, no matter how you mix and match them. Even luckier, a well-rounded preppy wardrobe doesn't have to break the bank. We've found 13 travel-ready Amazon styles that look great, without the designer price tag. These pieces are timeless, practical, and ready for wherever your next trip takes you."
"A striped cardigan is another timeless staple, and this one from Lillusory is worth shopping. The slightly oversized cut keeps it comfy, perfect for throwing on over tank tops and T-shirts. And you won't overheat-the knit is soft and breathable. Choose from solids or stripes in a palette of traditional colors, like dark red, navy, cream, and tan, each elevated by a line of shiny gold buttons sewn up the front."
Preppy style is resurging for fall travel, fueled by increased searches and interest in polished, New England–inspired staples. Essential pieces include breezy button-downs, plaid skirts, striped cardigans, cable-knit sweaters, and sweater vests that layer easily for variable weather. The aesthetic prioritizes comfortable, reliable staples that mix and match and translate well to flights and leaf-peeping weekends. Affordable, travel-ready versions of these classics are widely available, including budget-friendly Amazon options that mimic designer looks without high cost. Specific examples include a soft, breathable oversized striped cardigan with gold buttons and a lightweight button-down versatile for beach coverups or layered fall outfits.
