The fashion world is witnessing a resurgence of the preppy look -- a back-to-school aesthetic with a playful twist.
While it is rooted in American collegiate culture, this revamped version is polished, chic and sophisticated.
Think Doc Martens, cute skirts, plaids, pinstripes, houndstooth and gingham prints.
Our Bollywood babes embrace it in quirky ways.
