If we're being honest, the real reason we tuned in to Gossip Girl wasn't the romance or the drama — or even Dorota — it was the amazing fashion. Week after week, Blair and Serena would traipse around the Big Apple, wearing designer ensembles that put our high school uniforms to shame.
But, besides just rocking the season's latest It bag, this high-fashion duo had a few lessons to teach us about dressing up. From Blair's masterful accessorizing to Serena's preppy-meets-boho style sensibility, we're still looking to these two for outfit inspiration, no matter how many years have passed since their TV debut.
Read on for the style lessons we learned from the Upper East Side's chicest duo!
