Preppy look lasted until the early 90's though it wasn't the dominant style as it was 1981-1983. Look at these 1989 photos and you'll a couple of guys in polo shirts and one or two with upturned collars.

By 1984, the more colorful less-republican styles that the 80's are known for became the in-thing.
