Gossip Guys: Empire of the Son

This week on Gossip Girl, the inevitable finally happened. Lily finally had to come face-to-face with what she did, Chuck finally learnt about a dirty secret his father had kept from him, Raina finally realized his dad isn't the family-and-hot-dogs-loving businessman with a heart he pretends to be, Serean finally confronted Ben about his violent side, Ben finally had to come to terms with his past and start moving onto his future, and oh, Blair and Dan finally kissed.

On the fashion side of things, however, there was no end in sight for a change in the wardrobe department to finally transition from Winter into Spring. Still on the shoulders of these pretty Upper East Siders were coats, after coats, after coats. It's time for some Spring collections, people! But before that, our weekly fashion recap!

Dan Humphrey has been "walking around the city all night with one paralyzing thought" this week in this grey peacoat we've all seen a couple episodes back. He really needs another look.

Nate Archibald hasn't been wearing his plaid shirts lately. Instead, he was seen wearing this greyish knit sweater and it looks great on him. Knit sweaters always remind me of sorority girls in pearls. On Nate, the sweater similarly invokes a collegiate vibe.

Another grey sweater with thick knit collar was seen on Rufus Humprehy, marking the first time the resident trophy husband is included in our recap! Shawl cardigans have been quite popular over FW2010 and it's great to see Rufus catching on the trend.

More looks after the jump!

If Chuck Bass is anything, he's consistent with his style. We've probably seen this look from him fifty thousand times. Chuck must have about a million wool coats in his wardrobe and they come in all colors possible. This week, he picked this maroon coat and paired it with his classic slim-fitted suits and his paisley tie. I can't wait to see Chuck's summer wardrobe. I want to see what he wears on his weekend escapades to the Hamptons. Or at some resort in Thailand.

Another nice one from Nate Archibald! Nate is finally back to his glorious days of being the fashion golden boy on the show, after a series of overdone plaid shirts. This black military-inspired jacket with shoulder epaulets looked fantastic on Nate. Although the trend has been around for a few years, I think the military-inspired look is in fact tricky to pull off. Sometimes, they can really overwhelm guys with smaller frames and make them look like awkward security guards. So the key to wearing these jackets is having broad shoulders. Having that said, it's time to hit the gym to do some shoulder presses!
