Sloane Ranger
The term "Sloane Ranger" refers to a stereotype of a certain social class in the United Kingdom, particularly associated with affluent young people from the Sloane Square area in London. This group is characterized by their upper-middle-class background, often attending prestigious schools and universities. The Sloane Ranger style is marked by a preference for traditional British fashion, including items like tailored blazers, polo shirts, and riding boots.
The concept gained popularity in the 1980s, particularly through the book "Sloane Ranger Handbook" by Ann Barr and Pauline Perry. The term has since evolved to describe a lifestyle that emphasizes leisure activities, such as horseback riding and attending social events, while also reflecting a certain cultural identity within the British upper class.
