6. The Shorter the Better

Serena van der Woodsen loved her dresses short and she wasn’t the only one. Blair Waldorf would also on occasion sport something super short and so would little Jenny Humphrey. With the way that they would accessorize, no one even noticed how short their hemlines were.

5. Even Men Can Be Super Fashionable

The men on “Gossip Girl” were almost as fashionable as the women. Take Chuck for example. He never shied away from bright colors or prints and he always made sure his shirts and pants were fitted. He also liked to layer and understood the importance of a stylish coat.

3. Switch It Up Every So Often – Go Retro

Sometimes being fashion forward means recycling bits and pieces of trends from the past. Blair Waldorf was an expert at this. She could take something with a very ‘60s vibe and make it current.
