This clothing trend includes elements drawn from a typical preppy style. Appearing to have a wealthy appearance is what people often achieve when dressing prep. It shows wealth by resembling old Eastern boarding school fashion, also known as well-dressed people with a traditional manner of speech.
Prep is the most achievable during COVID because of the different clothing items worn with prep. People don’t really want to dress up during this time, sweatshirts and turtlenecks are comfortable but still trendy.
Prep is cold-weather appropriate because of the different pieces that are added. To pull off this trend, aim for crewnecks, collared shirts, turtlenecks, blazers, tennis skirts, small shoulder purses, boots of all heights, and gold jewelry.

Increasing in today’s fashion, metallics are most found in party and evening wear, but with COVID they are becoming more popular in day-to-day streetwear. With a smaller chance of leaving the house, metallics would not be worn as much, but with the upcoming holiday season, they will be a go-to.
Metallics are beginning to accustom to the teenage culture through shirts, skirts, and small pieces such as a metallic detail. You can wear metallics to dinner with friends, school functions that require semi-formal attire, or in everyday attire with small accessories.
Metallics can take any outfit to the next level. When styled right metallics can add a taste of glamour to your wardrobe without coming off too flashy.
Fringe:

Fringe is trim that can be applied to any part of a garment. If it is either on the back of a denim jacket or on the bottom of a pair of jeans, this texture adds a pop of fun to any clothing item.
While fringe is still manifesting through Western-inspired jackets and dresses that are reminiscent of 1920’s flappers, designers are making it clear that fringe can be street-wear. Fringe can range from a big statement to a simple accent, making it a perfect trend for all.
