The Prepsetter

The way Tommy Hilfiger puts a fresh spin on the timeless preppy aesthetic season after season never ceases to amaze me…

For his Spring 2013 Ready-To-Wear collection, Mr. Hilfiger’s muse was the preppy jetsetter. 

He told FabSugar:

“This preppy girl loves to travel. And she loves adventure and loves the outdoors.”

The clothes feature a mix of nautical touches (marine stripes, fisherman knits) and safari-inspired elements (khaki, bermuda shorts) with a dash of Americana (patchwork denim, that ever-present red, white and blue color palette), taking you from Nantucket to Nairobi and back again. 

Phew! What a journey!

I had the hardest time picking my favorites from this collection. I started with 13 looks, then narrowed it down to my top 3:
