6 Preps a Shopping

Preps are known for their clothes, involvement in the arts and giving an arm and leg for the latest issue of Vouge.

They randomly host a party for no reason every so often. Try to keep the party “clean” (which means light drinking only). If you see someone getting drunk, don't let them drive or hurt themselves or others. Don't get drunk yourself — you will look like an idiot! Preps don’t do that.

If shopping for a prep, keep in mind, they wear respectable brand name clothes such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, LaCoste, The North Face and J Crew to name a few. Rugby T-shirts and chinos help the preppy guy. Also, shop for clothes that come in classic preppy colors such as navy blue, yellow, sky blue, Nantucket red, pink and don’t forget lime green. If you want to buy the prep in your life, shoes, go with a great loafer in a cognac or cordovan color for the fall and winter.

Being well groomed is important, so you could buy him a great manicure tool set, or shaving products and cologne. Keep the scents clean, and stick with one scent. Don’t mix several fragrances.

Carrying a handkerchief is a classy thing to do as a prep, so think about getting one monogrammed for a special gift. If you want to go all out for that special preppy person, a membership to a country club, the Frist Center, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Cheekwood or tickets to the next symphony or ballet would be lovely gifts.

When I started medical transition at 20 years old, it was very difficult to get the care I needed for hormone replacement therapy because there are very few providers trained in starting hormones for trans people, even though it’s very similar to the hormones that we prescribe to women in menopause or cisgender men with low testosterone.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
