If you don’t like the ghetto and you don’t like the preparation, you may like the two mixed together. Urban dictionary defines ghetto prep as a style of attraction rather than attitude. It’s true that you can’t really act like a ghetto and a high school person at the same time, but you can dress like one. It almost seems counterintuitive, as people from the ghettos and high schools sometimes seem completely opposite, but if you match your clothes well, you can look great without being accused of being a ghetto or high school. Mixing these two together is actually a lot easier than it sounds, you just have to know where to start. Just follow these steps and you can dress up as a ghetto prep.
1. When choosing clothes, make sure they are always in basic colors. If your clothes are too colorful, you might be mistaken for a scene or an emo. When shopping for well-known brands, you should definitely consider Hollister, Baby Phat, Southpole, and Ambercrombie and Fitch.
2. Girls should limit themselves to wearing mostly tight jeans. Guys, wear baggy jeans and denim shorts that sit slightly below the waist. If you start walking like a penguin, it is a very good sign that you are wearing them too low. Both boys and girls can wear plaid shorts, these are more preppy for boys and ghetto tom boy for girls.
3. In the case of shoes, you should definitely invest in buying a Jordan or Nike shoe. These work whether you are a boy or a girl.
4. Girls should wear their hair in a ponytail or be straightened. Guys need to keep a clean, short cut. Keep your face looking fresh by shaving your facial hair and making sure your eyebrows are not bushy.
5. Guys should try to get a gold chain, or at least fake gold. Girls have many options when it comes to jewelry; hoop earrings, monroe piercings and large intruder necklaces. Just try experimenting with jewelry until you have the right look, which looks good on some people and not others.
6. If you really want to look like ghetto prep, then you need to have a ghetto prep attitude. The ghetto preparations have the qualities of both the preparations and the people of the ghetto. Some traits can be; personable, assertive and just out there. You have to be a good person, but be able to stand up for yourself when necessary. You have to be able to have fun all the time and be fun to be around. You should also consider joining basketball, track, or soccer. If you join in more preppy sports like golf or tennis, you are practically guaranteeing that your image will be ruined in preparation for the ghetto.
