Free People’s preppy tops play with polish in unexpected ways. With crisp collars, stripe patterns, and throwback silhouettes, these styles are made to bend the rules. Wear one buttoned up with pleated trousers and ballet flats or leave it open over a tank and loose denim for a softer take. These tops lean into classic school-era influence with just enough undone energy to keep things interesting. Style them solo or mix them with edge - it all works. There's something playful about dressing like you’re about to skip class.
