Yes, we tuned in to Gilmore Girls [1] for the touching mother-daughter moments [2], Rory's dreamy boyfriends, and that witty dialogue, but we also just couldn't get enough of the Gilmores' casual yet chic style. While shows like Sex and the City [3] and Gossip Girl [4] offered onscreen looks [5] that were more aspirational than inspirational, Rory and Lorelai's outfits were relatable and likely made up of stuff we already had in our closet.
Yet while the Gilmores offered us plenty of outfit ideas all year round, Fall was truly their time to shine. From the casual-cool weekend looks to their never-ending sweater collection, the duo taught us plenty about surviving the season in style [6]. Read on for a refresher on their Fall fashion lessons, and get excited — since new episodes will be hitting Netflix later this month [7], there will be plenty of inspiration to come!
