Gossip Guys: Fashion Icons





We've already covered the women of Gossip Girl. However, the men have their share of trend-setting style, as well. Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald, and Dan Humphrey: gorgeous and fashionable.


  • He’s the guy we love to hate and sexiness is his specialty. I’m definitely talking about Chuck Bass. And I think it all comes down to his exceptional and original wardrobe. We always see him dressed in suits, always the most luxurious ones. Eric Daman, the costume designer off of Gossip Girl, has apparently stated that Chuck’s suits are influenced by Steve McQueen, Oscar Wilde, and James Bond. Combining the styles of “The King of Cool”, the Irish poet, and England’s favorite hero surely does the trick. It’s hard not to stare at his clothes every time he’s in a scene. It’s because he’s a genius in combining all sorts of themes in his clothing. You could see him wearing a grey tuxedo jacket with a pink tie, and purple pants. No one other than him does that. And of course, we can’t forget his trademark scarves. He wouldn’t be Chuck Bass without them. As for his hair, it’s always chicly combed back. All these factors make him one of TV’s hottest characters and those who think this man isn’t terribly sexy should honestly get their eyes checked!

  • Being a Lacrosse player at St. Jude’s is the reason why Nate Archibald’s clothing is preppy almost all the time. We could always see him wearing lots of Polo shirts, often the shades of blue. Rarely do we see him wearing shiny colors like Chuck; he’s more classical. I mean, you wouldn’t See Nate sporting an orange vest; that’s just not him. Even when he’s wearing a formal suit, it’s usually black and white, just like any other wealthy guy from Upper East Side Manhattan. He’s also got the Zac Efron hair style going on, but with much more elegance. It doesn’t make him look childish at all. It does, on the other hand, sweep the girls off of their feet. His clean cut and awesome blue eyes make him the guy we’d want our parents to meet. He’s the good-looking guy with faultless wardrobe to match.


  • Although Dan Humphrey is supposed to be the poor guy from Brooklyn, the way he dresses seems very well put together. He does, however, seem less elegant than the other boys on the show, but that’s on purpose. He’s the writer who’s sticks to morals and principles first. He’s no Chuck or Nate. He is also different from them by the clothes he wears. Brown and Black shades are his favorite mix of colors. He’s so earthy. Moreover, his favorite clothes item is the vest. No episode passes without Dan wearing some kind of vest, very simple yet stunning. He’s got the “Dockers” style going on, combining both Khaki and Denim in his wardrobe. As hard as the writers on the show try to make him seem less attractive from his glamorous peers, Dan’s honesty and mediocre style make him more gorgeous than any girl could ask for.
