You might enjoy both prep and ghetto if you aren’t a fan of either. According to Urban Dictionary, ghetto preparation is a way of dressing that emphasizes attitude rather than attire. While you cannot act as a prep and a ghetto at the same moment, you can still dress up like one. Although it can seem contradictory, preps and ghettos sometimes appear to be completely opposites. However, if the clothes match, you will look great without being labeled ghetto/prep. You don’t have to combine these two things, it is easier than it sounds. Follow these steps to dress like a Ghetto Prep.
1. You should always choose basic colors when shopping for clothes. Your clothes might look like scene or emo, if you make them too bright. Hollister and Southpole are great names to consider when shopping for name brands.
2. The best option for girls is to wear only skinny jeans. Wear loose jeans or jean shorts that are a bit lower than your waist for men. It’s an indicator that your jeans are too low if you begin waddling around like a penguin. Plaid shorts can be worn by both men and women. These are preppy and more feminine for the guys, and can also be worn by girls.
3. You should invest in Nike dunks and Jordans shoes. They work for both men and women.
4. For girls, they should either wear their hair down in a ponytail (or have it done straight). For men, a neat and short cut is advisable. You can keep your face looking clean by shaving any unwanted facial hair. Also, make sure that your eyebrows don’t get too bushy.
5. A gold chain or counterfeit gold should be available for men. There are many options for jewelry available to girls, including hoop earrings and monroe-piercing. Try experimenting until you get the look that suits your style.
6. You must have a ghetto-prep attitude if you want to appear like one. Ghetto preps share the characteristics of preps as well as ghetto folks. Some characteristics might include being confident, friendly, outgoing, and assertive. It is important to not only be good at what you do, but also to stand up for your rights when needed. Fun is key. Consider joining track and basketball. You can be sure that you will look like a ghetto prep if you sign up for more preppy sports such as tennis or golf.
