We're Dreaming of a Preppy Christmas – Nina Dobrev's Tree Uses a Controversial Color Palette to Capture Classic Americana Style

Preppy style isn't just for fashion. In recent years, the elegant Americana style has infiltrated our interiors, through the popularity of stripes, wicker, and tartan. With the uptick in searches for 'Ralph Lauren Christmas' and 'Traditional Christmas' decor, it's clear that preppy aesthetics are now spreading to our holiday decorations.

Need inspiration? Look no further than Nina Dobrev's 2022 Christmas tree idea. The actress took to Instagram to share her beautiful evergreen and it's cloaked in a quintessentially preppy color palette: red and blue. Though sometimes controversial, the seemingly opposing shades are a match made in heaven. On Nina's tree, they collide especially strikingly with a combination of blue lights with red, silver, and gold ornaments. A gorgeous tree skirt (similar to this ruffled style from Wayfair) completes the look.
