SPOTTED: GOSSIP GIRL STYLE TIPS

Hey ASOSers,

Gossip Girl here – back for 2021's ultimate revival. Did you miss me? I thought so. And while July 8 marks my long-awaited return to your screens to follow a new set of Upper East Siders as they strut their way up the steps of the Met, there's still a special place in my heart for my former graduates and their New York style, of course.

Sure, she may not have had her personal life together 24/7, but Miss Serena van der Woodsen never stepped a foot wrong when it came to her cool-girl fashion creds. And whilst Blair Waldorf failed to ride into the sunset with her prince, she firmly secured her crown as queen of the polished outfit (and on the arm of Mr Chuck Bass, no less). So, before dishing the dirt on the next gen of Manhattan's elite, I'm excited to take a trip with ASOS down memory lane and into the style files of the GG OGs. You know you love them.
XOXO,
Gossip Girl

If there's one thing the Gossip Girls know how to do well, it's accessorize – and this Ralph Lauren bridesmaid look is the perfect example. A pretty yellow dress is taken from ultra-feminine to uber-cool with the addition of just a black leather belt and gloves. The lesson? Bold details pay off 👏

GET THE LOOK:
TFNC bridesmaid lace detail maxi dress with flutter sleeve, $108
ASOS DESIGN leather bevelled square buckle hip and waist belt, $20
ASOS DESIGN gloves in black suede, $32

Thought glitz and glam were only for the festive period? Think again! SVW makes a case for year-round sequins in this blazer-and-bold-pants look, which tbh is exactly what we imagine wearing to all the bar hangs and dates we've missed so much.

ASOS DESIGN shrunken 3-piece-suit dad pants, $36
JDY knitted vest, $29

Blair's signature summer style has three simple rules: go for bold colors, clashing prints and layer light fabrics for unpredictable climes. Try mixing unexpected prints like florals with geometrics or play with color combinations like watermelon green and pink for a punchy look that works every time 🍉

ASOS DESIGN broderie mini ruffle skater dress with cross-back detail, $69
Reclaimed Vintage Inspired cropped blazer, $56

Repeat after us: hats are not just for the beach! When paired with a floaty summer dress, a good wide-brimmed hat not only protects you from the sun (v important, ppl!), it also dials up the glamor level.

ASOS DESIGN tiered ruffle-detail maxi dress with tie-back, $79
ASOS DESIGN natural straw floppy hat with plait band, $23
Glamorous western buckle waist or hip belt, $13

It wouldn't be a GG style round-up without plaid, amirite? Preppy prints, heritage checks and oversized plaids are the cornerstone of B's greatest looks. Don't fancy yourself as a prim and proper kind of gal? Np! Mix it up with bright colors, cropped silhouettes and fun details like scarves and headbands to bring this trend into 2021 👑
