The knitted vest, the sweater over the shoulders, the blazer, the tie, the pleated skirt or the loafer combined with more contemporary and opposite, such as jean jeans, create the new preppy style, also called posh. It is the beginning of the end of the tracksuit and the choni.

On the catwalk and in the street you can see how they are going from tracksuits and clothes that mark curves and show skin to more sophisticated, sweet and restrained garments, a mixture between the casual and the formal as Lady Diana clearly demonstrated in their more informal outings.

In other words, a trend in which the aesthetics of the well-to-do children who looked on American campuses in the 80s and 90s prevail, and, of course, those of their parents as well, a fashion that was carried out by the clan Kennedy.

An elite social class that dressed in navy blue blazers, cashmere turtlenecks, loafers, short-sleeved polo shirts paired with Bermuda shorts, beige chinos with long-sleeved shirts, white linen dresses, or cotton sweatshirts with shields of the universities.

For the last three seasons, designers and stylists have offered little glimpses of this trend that has seduced generation Z, who, without any complexes, combine garments with conservative patterns and traditional fabrics with other more daring and with character.

Men and women once again embrace that aesthetic of the 80s and 90s wearing Oxford shirts -white, blue, pink or green- moccasins and polo shirts, a fashion that is now called Old money and is sweeping social networks like Instagram or Tick-Tock.

But posh isn't stale or boring. It is a trend that is identified with wealthy people and aristocrats. "Labels as a commercial designer or posh couturier have hurt me," Jorge Vázquez told EFE at the presentation of his latest fashion show at the Ritz hotel, where he presented distinguished garments in balance between the old and the new.

And precisely, posh couture is the top trend; Proof of this are the outfits of Penélope Cruz (47 years old) signed by Chanel or that of Ana de Armas (33) worn in Paris to attend the Louis Vuitton show, a sweet pink minidress with a flirty bow and gold and silver details, from a certain sixties air.

Also the proposals of Alvarno, a firm that makes use of velvet, jeans and white shirts to give life to garments with "shine, shine and shine", explain Álvaro Castejón and Arnaud Maillard, creative directors of the firm .

Now, cute little dresses are worn, the sweater tied over the shoulders, over shirts or polo shirts with a high collar, and not exactly to keep warm, but as an accessory in the style of Gigi Hadid (26), Victoria Beckham (47 ) and Leandra Medine (32).

And in preppy fashion, white trousers are not only for summer, they are also triumphant in winter, both for men and women, combined with camel, navy blue or black jumpers, as well as denim shirts or rugby polo shirts with horizontal stripes and contrasting colors.

The knitted vest is one of the most desired garments, it combines with everything and is suitable to wear under a jacket, combined with blouses, shirts or T-shirts.

This style has also become a favorite among men as David Beckham (46), Ryan Gosling (40), some of the best dressed in the world already wear.

On the feet, loafers, trainers or shoes with contrasting toecaps in the style of Chanel's mythical flats, footwear that can be worn with nineteenth-century-style dresses, pantsuits, chinos or jeans.

The new aristocratic airs invite you to wear jeans with tweed jackets and heels, cardigans, shirts with frills, flirty bags, sweaters with baby collars and fabrics such as corduroy, velvet or plaid.

This is the right time to hide a fanny pack, backpack, tube skirt, tracksuit, patent-leather-effect garments, ordinary necklines and, of course, ugly sneakers and platforms.

"It's fashionable to be dressed up, with a 'lady' touch," says fashion expert Pepa Fernández, who predicts: "We all like to look favored, whether we're posh or not."
