It had a great line as to what designers were authentic prep and which were not.

Two of the characters were at a clothing store. The cool prep guy was helping the clueless dude from the "other side of the tracks" with shirts.

The line went something like:

Looking at a Ralph Lauren Polo: "Preppy come lately"
Looking at a some sort of JC Penny rip off polo: "Preppy come NEVER"
Looks at the classic LaCoste Polo: "Preppy, forever"

Does any one know the name of this movie? It was very funny. I think it had Rob Lowe in it. Came out when I was in high school at the height of the preppy style of dressing.

The classic prep style has never really went out of style (as I sit here in my pink LaCoste, collar not popped today though)
Was it Class which also had Andrew McCarthy in it?
