I’m Getting My Fall Fashion Inspo From ‘Gilmore Girls’ With These Styles

If there’s one TV show I associate with fall, it’s 100 percent Gilmore Girls. As one of my all-time favorite shows ever since it actually aired on television, I’m deeply familiar with the series. One thing I’ve always loved about it is the fashion—preppy, yet casual—so I decided to take some inspiration from the Gilmores this fall. I shopped around to find a bunch of pieces that scream Lorelai and Rory, and I’m adding them to my cart now. 

You can snag my picks from brands including J.Crew, Levi’s, Steve Madden, and Converse, and I even found a nearly perfect dupe for Lorelai’s iconic pink peacoat. Cue up the show on Netflix, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and browse these Gilmore Girls-inspired fall fashion pieces below. 

Gilmore Girls Fall Fashion

J.Crew Cable Crewneck Sweater

You can’t beat a chunky cable-knit sweater for transitioning from fall to winter, and this option bears a striking resemblance to one worn by Rory early on in the series. Made of 100 percent cotton, the crewneck comes in cream and bright red, which would be perfectly festive for the holiday season. “It looks so elevated and high quality,” said one shopper. “It’s a piece I’m sure I’ll have for many years.”

Kenneth Cole Notch-Lapel Military Coat in Pink

This is a great dupe for Lorelai’s iconic pink peacoat. The wool and polyester jacket features a notched collar, silver buttons, and pockets to keep your hands warm. Plus, the light pink hue will brighten up even the grayest fall and winter days, whether you layer it over jeans and a tee or wear it with a dress and heels.

Levi’s 726 High-Rise Flare Jeans

Flared jeans were a staple in both Lorelai’s and Rory’s closets on the show. These high-rise pants are fitted through the hip and thigh, and they come in a variety of washes, including dark indigo, light blue, white, and black. Having earned more than 1,300 five-star ratings, the jeans are super popular with reviewers, and multiple people have noted how comfortably stretchy they are. One customer raved about the flattering fit, saying, “They got us out here lookin like snacks.”

Steve Madden Harli Bootie

Lorelai loved a good heeled boot like this Steve Madden pair. The faux-leather booties have a square toe and 2.6-inch block heel that’s just enough for a height boost while still being comfortable. Plus, there’s a zipper on the inside of the shaft for an easy on and off. You can wear them with just about any fall outfit, such as with straight-leg jeans, maxi skirts, trousers, and more.
