Miss Autumn combines elements of Victorian, classic punk/goth and faerie in her attire.

I dislike the term Preppy Goth as much as I dislike the punk-Goths (doesn't that make you like a deathrocker?). It just doesn't add up in my book. Perky Goths seem to be an attitude, not a fashion, however I'd expect a few brighter colours in their attire (or cyber elements).

The closest thing you might call 'preppy' is the CorpGoth look, which takes business casual and formal attire and arranges it so that, while still 'conservative', it has a darker more 'goth' appearance. Pin-stripes, dark grays and navy blue, even in the heat of summer.
