True preppy started in New England. Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, and Nantucket would be the traditional preppy coastal getaways that people think of, but Greenwich and Darian, CT, parts of Long Island, Maine...etc. are all where preppy started. The concept began with college preparatory schools, hence the name "prep." From those prep schools, kids would go on to the Ivy Leagues and then after graduating they would have preppy weddings.
Later on, preppy moved down south and now there's southern preppy as it's own thing. There's also Palm Beach preppy which is separate as well. Some people mistakenly think that all that makes something preppy is pink and green plaid--Which ends up just looking like it's trying to be preppy when it isn't.
