Didn’t go to an Ivy League school? Never played a team sport in your life? No problem! Jock-inspired styles cribbed from the golden age of collegiate athletics will win big for spring.<\/p>\n

Dress standards on U.S. campuses aren’t what they used to be. Undergrads from Peoria to Princeton attend lectures in slouchy jeans and flip-flops; in the “The Social Network,” David Fincher’s film about the birth of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) claws his way to the top at Harvard wearing loose-fitting hoodies.<\/p>\n

According to Christian Chensvold, founder of the highbrow fashion website Ivy Style, most of today’s elite college students are “taking their style cues from the bottom of society, not the top.”<\/p>\n

That species is the revered subject of “Take Ivy,” an influential study of elite Northeastern campuses published in 1965 by a team of fashion-savvy Japanese writers and photographers. For years a cult item among fashion insiders, the book was finally released in U.S. stores (including the ever-trendy J. Crew) this summer, flooding the menswear world with images of wholesome-looking ’60s undergrads bent over books in libraries, strolling across leafy quads and\u2014perhaps most importantly\u2014demonstrating a robust enthusiasm for sports. “A fragile, twiggy physique is far from the ideal image of an Ivy Leaguer,” the book’s authors note.<\/p>\n

I own one of the original copies of “The Preppy Handbook” and I bought the more recent edition for the new generation. I have to say, it is not at all like the original! I don’t get the point of it.<\/p>\n
