Serena van der woodsen

Spotted - Serena van der Woodsen running around town in a killer pair of grey suede over-the-knee boots!

Cool and carefree, this Upper East Side It girl always looks amazing, even though her outfits look like they've been thrown on without much thought put into them.

She can carry anything effortlessly, even a piece of rag!!!her sense of style is totally carefree and includes preppy frocks to leather coats, vintage dresses to classy denims….she does it all!!!

Her disregard for high society shows in her bohemian sense of fashion, which includes a huge collection of hats, scarves and boots, which she wears with everything from school uniforms and skinny jeans to dresses and leggings.

Uniform styleSerena’s school uniforms are both casual yet chic. Her laid back hair are her usp!!!She adds leather boots and jackets to her basic uniform and top off the look adds a nice sleek tie to it.

Blair waldorf

From her ruby ring to her perfectly tailored cardigans, Blair is a true disciple of Audrey Hepburn. She defines absolute class and feminism. Always spotted wearing her ‘B’ pendant around her neck , Blair looks totally chic and lady-like.

Blair Waldorf always looks prim and polished from head to toe in her school uniform blazer, ruffled blouse, pearl bracelet, "B" diamond necklace and of course, that signature bow headband. Like the penthouse apartment she lives in, this queen bee enjoys the finer things in life, like diamonds, pearls and anything designer.

Blair's style is inspired by chic, feminine pieces of Old Hollywood, but she's also into argyle sweaters and button-down shirts with pretty details on the cuffs and collar, as she's the preppiest of the girls on the Upper East Side.

Uniform style

Blair’s uniform is the preppiest of all!!!Frilly shirts, huge coats, matching leggings, headbands, bow- ties…her list includes everything!!after all, she’s queen bee!!!

Jenny humphrey

A burgeoning young Brookly-nite with UES aspirations, Jenny Humphrey stands out from her classmates—and with her 34D chest size it's certainly not hard to command their attention. But don't be fooled by her soft tresses and doe eyes. Deep down, J is as ambitious as any other queen of the UES .

Jenny Humphrey doesn't have the big budget of S and B, so she buys her clothes from vintage shops and sews and recreates them into cool pieces. She also mixes it up with designer castoffs that she gets from Blair to create a unique look that's all her own.

Jenny Humphrey’s character grew darker and so did her look. Her dark kohled eyes always added a gothic touch to her look. Her look involves the most experimentation in terms of clothes, make-up or hair. sometimes she was seen sporting the grunge look and otherwise her hair remain sleek and long.

Uniform styleShe spices up her school uniform with cute accessories like funky flats and bags, colorful tights, knee socks and loads of bangles. She even wears hair elastics that double as bracelets! Her uniform grew edgier with her character.

Nate archibaldNate Archibald loves his argyle vests, cable-knit sweaters and pinstripe dress shirts, but pulls it off without looking too stuffy by unbuttoning his collars, loosening his ties, rolling up his sleeves and leaving his shirts untucked. His sense of style includes everything from wearing totally comfortable tees to highly admirable suits.

He has a bit of a disheveled prepster look going for him, which is why all the girls on the Upper East Side, especially B, are crazy about him! apart from his casual looks, Nate archibald totally deserves the prince charming award for wearing formals.he carries them effortlessly and totally rocks it.

Nate archibald is definitely the blue eyed boy of this series!!!He has terrific balance of carrying the -boy -next -door look to the totally outreachable -prince at the same time.

Uniform styleNate archibald’s uniform consists of the basic uniform topped with huge personalised coats. Sometimes, this super good-looking boy also sports mufflers to spice up his look. He doesn’t need accessoriesed uniform to attract attention. His looks are enough!!!

chuck bass

The bad boy of the group, Chuck Bass is the ultimate stuck-up rich kid whose closet is packed with designer clothing (kinda like the boy version of Blair Waldorf). He likes to dress in clashing bright colors. In fact, he wears the most colorful clothes out of the three guys.

He can wear a bowtie like nobody's business, and accessorizes with cuff links, suspenders, rugby striped scarves and handkerchiefs that are either tucked into his upper pocket or tied around his neck.

He customizes the formals by adding his own dramatic touch to it and wears the most daring and outrageous clothes in the series. His sleek hairdo gives a sense of pride and royalty<which he actually is>.

Uniform styleChuck bass is a symbol of royalty. This also reflects in his clothes. He teams his uniforms with his signature muffler. To pump up his look he wears huge over coats

Dan humphrey

This former loner from Brooklyn is kind of a geek, but his style screams cool. He wears a lot of earth tones like browns, greys and greens, either to match Serena van der Woodsen's wardrobe palette, or possibly to show that he's more down-to-earth than the other guys on the show.

Dan Humphrey is into skinny jeans and khakis, striped skinny cardigans and his all-time fave, the military jacket he wears about town. His cropped hair gives him the intellectual look required and sets him apart from all other boys in the series.

He tries to avoid wearing suits and shiny tuxs ,but when he adorns it he looks no less than the rich upper-east side boys.his casual yet charming look is possibly the reason why ladies are attracted towards him.

Uniform style

Dan humphrey likes to keep it simple.he doesn’t like playing with the uniform much,but to keep with the kids at school,he teams his uniform with his favourite khaki coats.

Eric daman

Have you ever wondered who the lucky person is that gets to decide what the gossip girl  gang gets to wear each week? It's costume stylist Eric Daman, who also once assisted Patricia Field on the set of Sex and the City.

Daman started out as a buyer at a boutique in Paris and went on to be an overnight model discovered by photographer Steven Meisel (his first modeling job was with Kate Moss). He eventually followed his dream of styling, and what he has done with Gossip Girl is a fashion phenomenon.

Interview with Eric daman•Eric on whether it’s more important for characters to look approachable or aspirational: Ans:It should be a little bit of both. I always make sure I mix some of the higher-end looks with something from a less expensive brand. I use stuff from Forever 21 and H&M all the time. You will always see someone wearing a $5,000 dress with a pair of Nine West shoes. That is how people dress today anyway.

•So, do the actors have a say in how their characters dress? Ans:I’m not a fashion Nazi. Blake [Lively] and Leighton [Meester] love to give their input, but they understand that I am there to help them create and develop their characters.

•Naturally, the Gossip Girls' individual styles have developed dramatically!Ans:It’s funny because they came into this as these fashion-naïve kids from LA who moved to New York in order to portray these true New Yorkers. They are like New Yorkers now — real, fashionable New Yorkers.

• Eric's thoughts on doing his own apparel line? Ans:I’ve thought about this a lot, actually. I would want to do a mass line, like something for Kohl’s, Target, Charlotte Russe. Then I would like to do a higher-end, capsule collection for a store like Bendel’s or Barneys. Again, it’s all about accessible fashion and mixing it up.
