If there is one thing The CW is good at, it's creating super entertaining, highly dramatic TV shows about high schoolers. Specifically, really wealthy, really fashionable high schoolers. Gossip Girl was one of the CW's most stylish shows. So much so, in fact, that many outfits from Gossip Girl are still in style today.

What made Gossip Girl's wardrobe choices so great — aside from the exquisite designer pieces you would never get to wear in real life — was that each character had a very specific style profile, allowing teenagers everywhere to find fashion inspiration from the show, regardless of their own personal style.

Blair Waldorf was obviously the preppy one. Her demure, retro style, filled with decorative headbands, mixed prints, and vintage silhouettes was inspiration for anyone who prefers a more classic look (or anyone who can appreciate flawless accessorizing).

Serena Van Der Woodsen's personal style brought major sex appeal to the show, but in a boho chic kind of way. Maxi dresses, tall boots and messy braids were her signature. I personally modeled my high school style after Serena.

And then for those fans who had a little bit of a rebellious streak, there was good-girl-gone-bad Jenny Humphrey, who quickly reinvented herself from innocent prepster to an edgy bad girl. Whether you liked her new look or not, you had to love her bold style switch. Plus, everyone loves a good leather jacket.

So without further ado, here are 17 of the best outfits from Gossip Girl that are still stylish now.

1. Blair's Turtleneck

Turtlenecks made a dramatic comeback this year.

2. Serena's Cutout Dress

It's pretty hard to go wrong with a dress this cute.

3. Serena's Over The Knee Boots

There is a small chance Serena started the over the knee boot trend.

4. Serena's Blue One Shoulder Dress

I must say, Serena was really ahead of the one shoulder trend.

5. Serena's Orange Maxi Dress

Apparently one shoulder dresses were Serena's thing, and I'm only just now noticing.

6. Jenny's Fishnet Tights

I'd be willing to bet that Jenny Humphrey would've rocked the fishnet-under-pants look that's been popular this year.

7. Serena's Cold Shoulder Top

I didn't even know cold shoulder tops existed back in 2009.

8. Blair's Decorative Choker

Royalty (or Manhattan's elite) have been wearing chokers forever. They just happen to be a lot more expensive and elaborate than the chokers we're used to.
