Nate Archibald, Gossip Girl

 

Silly name, great face. Nate (played by Chase Crawford) is a lacrosse-playing poshboy who dresses very preppily. With cheekbones you could hang spoons off of and some fantastic eyebrows, he's one reason we're really sad that the series ends soon.

You could say he’s more of a jock than a prep, but we don't really care what Glee’s Finn Hudson wears. We don’t need to split hairs about checked shirts versus polo shirts to appreciate his fine form, and he’s wearing chinos, anyway…

Daniel Grayson, Revenge

 

Those big puppy-dog eyes, that cute smile and those dimples! It’s why Daniel Grayson is such top totty. As well as a lovely face, he’s got a tremendous torso and dresses totes preppy-rah! And if that's not already got you keen, Josh Bowman’s pretty posh IRL, too!

Eddie Redmayne

 

Our favourite posh-boy pouter wowed us in Birdsong, and made us drool in My Week With Marilyn. He's also been known to swan around in chinos and shirts, and he went to Eton. 100% fit, 100%preppy!

Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl

 

Though he’s pretty obnoxious, we just adore Chuck Bass. You’ve got to give props to a man who is so snappily dressed and beautiful. Ed Westwick, who plays Chuck, is great at smizing, too. Bonus points!

Justin Timberlake

 

The golf-loving four-eyes loves a preppy look, and we’re into it, too. Yep, we much prefer this to the macaroni-hair quadruple denim thing he had going on when he was in *NSYNC and went out with Britney.

One Direction

 

These lovable scamps went through a cute stage of dressing like proper nerds. Though there is no legitimate way we should fancy them ALL in their finest ‘I eat my egg sandwich alone in the toilet at lunch’ get-up. But we do. We really do.

Prince Harry

 

No, Prince Harry. WE applaud YOU. For being the sexiest male member of the royal family. For being so bally spiffingly posh and for managing to work faux-messy ginger hair with a RED polo shirt.

Scott Disick

 

The slicked back hair, the slightly evil, piercing blue eyes, the smart suits and the pretty horrible behaviour. Somehow we're suckers for it!

Seth Cohen, The OC

 

Who could forget the pioneer of preppy, Seth Cohen from The OC? His sailing clothes were mixed in with a bit of indie stylings to make a really attractive blend. Oh, and those EYES, that HAIR! Excuse us for a moment, will you?
