SPOTTED: GOSSIP GIRL STYLE INSPO

Hey ASOSers,

Gossip Girl here, back for 2021's ultimate revival. Missed me? I thought so. And while 8 July 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 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 out of fashion. And whilst Blair Waldorf failed to ride into the sunset with her prince, she firmly secured her crown as queen of polished outfits (and on the arm of Mr Chuck Bass, no less). So, before I dish 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

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 colours, cropped silhouettes and fun details like scarves and headbands to bring this trend into YK21 👑

If there's one thing the Gossip Girls know how to do well, it's accessorise, 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 👏

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 trouser look, which tbh, is exactly what we imagine wearing to all the bar hangs and dates we've missed so much.

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

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!) but dials up the glamour level on any look.
