The word in english that carries the closest connotation is "preppy" or "prep".
The difference between "понты" and "prep" lies mostly in the number of situations they apply to. The former can be used for derision of anything remotely deemed superficial from Dolce Gabbana jeans to the riced out avtoVAZ next door.
