Gmail formatting on html template is getting screwed up
I have created an HTML template by using Mailchimp templates and completely personalized it.
The code is working on all the clients (even Outlook (?!) ) but unfortunately Gmail is driving me crazy.
Could you please give it a look on why it gets all messed up? (It doesn't keep the column template and social icons get pushed to the left).

I replicated the issue in Litmus. The email isn't sticking to the 600px width and that's simply down to Gmail not having any CSS to tell it to do that.
Been a while since I've seen any info or updates on this as I inline by default but as far as I'm aware, Webmail Gmail still does not respect CSS in the head.
You will need to inline your CSS.
There are online tools that can do this for you. I would do this and then see how it works.
