A gruppy is someone whose fashion style blurs the line between preppy and grunge — think of it as a preppy rebellion. And, there’s no mistaking this chic look! Just when you think a look is on the verge of being a classic ensemble like a crested blazer and string of pearls, in the knick of time something edgy, camouflage cargo pants and biker boots perhaps, are thrown into the mix. If there’s any doubts as to whether you’re rocking the look, here are 10 ways to know for sure:
- Your last party invite involved Smirnoff, Nirvana’s greatest hits, and a secret society … skull and bones anyone?
- Your current BFF is a cross between Chuck Bass of Gossip Girl and John Bender from The Breakfast Club.
- You’re torn between a week vacay in the Hamptons or on an island in Jamaica.
- You want to have your dreads cut into a bob.
- You secretly wish Ralph Lauren and and Pearl Jam would collaborate on a clothing line.
- You have a sterling silver whisky flask filled with Voss water.
- Your closet reads like a Who’s Who from the 80s.
- Favorite item of clothing is your crested hoodie.
- Your are more comfortable in your grandfather’s cardigan than a frilly frock.
- Your favorite color combo is salmon pink and camouflage green.
Chicly Yours,
The Chic Spy
