Dress Like a Gilmore Girl: 10 Fall Wardrobe Staples

Gilmore Girls is the one show you absolutely must watch during fall- I don’t make the rules (but I do follow them). Turn on any episode and you’ll be immediately transported to the quaint town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The fall episodes are especially cozy, with pumpkins and hay bales dotting every street corner, the town’s annual fall festival on display, and Lorelai and Rory sporting the cutest layered fall looks. 

Inspired by Lorelai and Rory’s autumnal favorites, I’ve rounded up 10 essentials to add to your fall wardrobe to help you dress like our favorite Gilmore girls. So, grab a coffee, put on your favorite fall episode of the show, and let’s dive into some Gilmore-inspired fall fashion!

1. Sherpa-Lined Jackets

Both Rory and Lorelai wear a lot of sherpa-lined jackets throughout the series, alternating between denim and corduroy styles. Personally, I like the denim a bit better and this Levi’s jacket looks almost identical to some of the jackets Lorelai wore.

2. Uggs

What goes around comes right back around! Like many of us today, Rory was also wearing Uggs in the fall during the early seasons of Gilmore Girls. The shorter versions of the iconic ultra-comfy and cozy boots are super popular now. 

If you want the Ugg look for a more affordable price, check out Bearpaw boots. I have a few pairs and they’re also really great quality!

3. The 'Rory' Sweater

If you’ve watched the show then you know exactly what I’m talking about- the cream cable knit sweater Rory wears in the very first episode. You can practically hear those iconic “lalala’s” when you see a sweater like this, and the one below looks as identical to Rory’s as you’re going to get.

4. A (Faux) Leather Blazer

One thing about the Gilmore girls is that they love a layered look. As seen in the post above, a leather blazer is key to a lot of Lorelai’s fall fits.

5. Turtlenecks

Another well-loved layering staple, turtleneck shirts are worn a lot throughout the seasons on Gilmore Girls. Lorelai and Rory also regularly wear turtleneck sweaters, and I love the burgundy one below. It’s super soft and the color is perfect for fall.

6. A Good Pair of Jeans

The Gilmore girls wear a lot of denim throughout the series and if you take a look at many of Lorelai’s jeans, you might spot what looks like a Levi’s patch- a brand that has definitely stood the test of time. Bootcut jeans were also clearly Lorelai’s favorite style, similar to the ones below.

7. Trench Coat

As the weather becomes chillier and chiller in Stars Hollow, Lorelai and Rory love adding a fashionable winter coat to their look. Let’s be honest, a good trench coat is timeless, so it’ll look just as good now as when the show aired in 2000.

8. Chunky Scarves

“I smell snow!” says Lorelai during an episode early in the show, which means it’s time to break out the chunky scarves to stay extra warm and cozy out in the cold.

9. Heeled Boots

Heeled boots are a favorite of Lorelai’s, whether paired with a skirt and top for work or a dress for a trip to Hartford for Friday night dinner. These Steve Madden boots look super similar to some of Lorelai’s and also come in a pretty brown color if that’s more up your alley.

10. A Basic Zip Up

Rory, specifically, wears a lot of basic zip-up sweatshirts (when she doesn’t have to dress in her Chilton uniform, of course). Skims makes great basics, including zip-ups. But, if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, check out this sweatshirt from Amazon.
