Inspired by timeless Ivy League style, this season the classic prep school look is anything but, thanks to design houses like Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Dries Van Noten. This time-honored trend gets a high-fashion update for fall with cutting-edge cuts, bold colorways, and unexpected pattern play — think reimagined checks and stripes, streamlined letterman jackets, and exaggerated button-ups. Here, we’ve selected a few that make the grade.
