The Guardian newspaper published a piece on the influence of popular TV show 'Gossip Girl' has on mainstream fashion. The icons of the show, in particular Blake Lively, have paved the way for perfectly glossed and polished fashion. The Ladylike-chic they execute so brilliantly - in part to their excessively healthy bank balance - elevated the whole student look to refined, shiny and new.

Though the realities of life don't make the style entirely easy and accessible for every day, the launch of the new series tonight still feels and acts as a celebration of the fashion that made it famous.

Though much of the costume was couture, fans of the style can inherit Lively's key looks with the help of brilliant high-street style providers. New Look consistently offer a varied range of classic items that suggest the same sense of New York cool.

The Boucle Collarless Jackets, also available in navy blue, bronze and black cheque, are jackets that completely suggest that they come from the Upper East Side. Teamed with crisp white shirts and t-shirts, the style is pure New York City Slick.

The Girls that Gossip love mixing and matching textures and shapes - their extravagant tastes allow for on-the-pulse fashion; daring, debonair and decadent. Bearing that in mind, stretch dresses in wool, like New Look's Bench Cream Ruched Jersey Dress, is a great find with the Boucle Collarless Jacket, teaming print and texture for a rich effect.

Taking cue from the female stars, keeping the mane long and glossy appears to help in the creation of the picture-perfect look. And, in true celebration of the show, no ensemble can be complete without killer heels and long legs. A pair of New Look's suede ladies' boots will make the silhouette tall and statuesque and really make the wearer look like they own their outfit.

In charge, in control and completely cool, Gossip Girl's sartorial influence seems to have shaped a brand new way for students to have fun with high-end fashion; thanks to high street infusions from New Look.
