Opposites Attract: Prepster + HipsterPrepsters and hipsters have rivaled one another in many a John Hughes film, but just like in The Breakfast Club, these genres mesh together surprisingly well! The secret to pulling it all together is to create a little bit of irony and playfullness - hipsters have used this trick for decades - they delight in taking decidedly uncool and often reviled icons of WASP culture (Hush Puppies, Lacoste, Martha Stewert's Hunter wellies, and all things equestrian) and making them cool. You can't get any more goody-two-shoes than this quilted English garden floral vest by Smythe, but when juxtaposed with hipster staples like skinny jeans and Chuck Taylors you take it in a very urban direction. Accessories like a straw fedora and wooden heart earrings complete the look.
