If we’re talking aspirational TV character style, I’m going to need everyone to step aside because my crown goes to Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. Sure, she occasionally treats Manhattan like her personal chessboard, but the woman’s wardrobe is a master class in looking like you summer in the Hamptons, even if don’t. Blair understands that getting dressed isn’t just about putting on clothes. It’s about presenting a very specific image to the world, preferably one that suggests you had a trust fund and a standing reservation at a fancy restaurant.
Her signature aesthetic is equal parts Upper East Side prep, old-money polish and unapologetic femininity, with tailored silhouettes, prim little headbands, bow details and enough tweed to make a country club swoon. And then there are the patterns—plaid, tartan and, of course, houndstooth, that wonderfully posh print. Blair makes even the most classic patterns feel fresh, fashionable and just a little intimidating. Which is exactly why a houndstooth cardigan feels like such a Blair Waldorf move. XOXO, indeed.

Sioni Houndstooth Duster Cardigan, $49.99 at Marshalls
Sioni Houndstooth Duster CardiganMarshalls
Shop It!Sioni’s Houndstooth Duster Cardigan at Marshalls has an almost coat-like silhouette. The lightweight knit keeps things soft and comfortable, while the open front gives it that easy, throw-it-on-over-everything appeal. I especially love the little details that make it feel more like a thoughtfully styled outfit than just another layering piece, including two front pockets, belt loops and a detachable tie belt that lets you cinch the waist for a more tailored look.

At 40 inches long from shoulder to hem, it has plenty of coverage, and the long sleeves add to its versatility. As a housekeeping note (because not everyone hash a Dorota), it does require hand washing, so it isn’t quite a toss-it-in-the-laundry-and-forget-about-it situation. Still, for anyone who loves a little Upper East Side prep in their everyday wardrobe, this cardigan brings plenty of Blair-worthy charm.
How to Style It Like Blair Waldorf
To style this houndstooth cardigan like Blair, lean all the way into her Upper East Side prep aesthetic. Consider a crisp white button-down underneath, a black pleated mini skirt, opaque black tights and Mary Jane flats. The houndstooth is already doing plenty of heavy lifting, so you don’t need to go wild with the rest of the outfit. Just add a black velvet headband, pearl studs and a structured handbag, and suddenly you’re giving Constance Billard headmistress energy (in the best possible way).
For something a little less school-uniform-inspired, pair it with a burgundy skirt, black tights and loafers. Blair was never afraid of a rich jewel tone, and burgundy looks gorgeous with black-and-white houndstooth. Or, for an everyday look, throw it over a fitted black turtleneck with slim black trousers and knee-high boots. Whatever you choose, use the tie belt to cinch the waist and give the cardigan a more tailored silhouette.
