We all know him, we all hate him and we all secretly love him; the infamous Chuck Bass. I mean hot damn... we all have caught ourselves catching a glimpse of this hard to get Manhattan legend. If it's one thing that Chuck Bass is famous for (besides his attitude) are his clothes. Whether it daytime casual or a night drinking with Nate Archibald, Mr. Bass always dresses to impress. And when your dad owns hotels and makes millions, you can afford to dress in Versace clothes and drink martinis for breakfast. (Hell, I would!)
However, I'm not condoning to act like Mr. Bass. He is a tortured soul but he's also narcissistic. We are only taking clothing tips from his life!
I've noticed for some time that the boys of Newport, RI dress similarly to Mr. Bass. All of the patterned ties, the pink, and the fancy loafers. It's preppy-chic, and you gotta have a certain attitude to rock this look. But if you wanna know how to dress when you visit Newport, you can watch Gossip Girl or follow these Chuck Bass tips:
Bow-ties Are A Must!
It's my personal belief that Chuck Bass has a closet for all of his bow-ties. I mean look at this guy! There's practically one of every color in his wardrobe.
Pink, purple, blue, green or black bow-ties are a staple in Mr. Bass's wardrobe. It's simple, understated and they're making a comeback! Newport is filled with mansions and beaches, you need a bow-tie to rock all the prep that Newport represents. When walking down Ocean Drive, you bet you're going to see some preppy Salve boys rocking a bow-tie. It's not only expected but it's encouraged!
Suspenders!
Walking along the Cliff Walk and don't wanna pull up your pants? No need, since Chuck loves to accessorize he just clips on these suspenders while he chases after Blair!
Slick Back That Hair, Bro
Well some heads of hair just have a mind of their own...and Chucks hair is always doing its own thing. Slick it back and let that Ocean Drive breeze mess it up a little!
Of course i'm not saying that all guys dress this way...however there is a pattern. The pink button down shirts and the Sperry's for all occasions. It's a very nice way to dress...it's preppy central!
Of course theres more than one way to dress in Newport. But if you wanna get the full essence of the preppy boy motif then these tips are key. Most guys in Newport dress to impress (don't lie guys, we've seen those Vineyard Vines shorts and button down shirts). If you're visiting Newport and are looking for a muse...then Mr. Bass is your guy!
