A fashion editor has revealed her ultimate Gilmore Girls-inspired autumn shopping guide, drawing on the Y2K style moments from the beloved series. The autumnal-obsessed writer, who finds the show’s comforting opening credits and rustic leaves irresistible, highlights key wardrobe staples worn by the iconic mother-daughter duo.
Lorelai Gilmore, played by Lauren Graham, is noted for her outerwear collection, including timeless camel coats, denim jackets, and a particularly on-trend aviator jacket for 2025. Her dark denim skinny bell-bottom jeans, often paired with sleeveless pastel cowl necks, are making a comeback this season.
Slogan T-shirts, a hallmark of the 2000s, are another focus. Both Lorelai and Rory regularly wore tight tees emblazoned with catchphrases, a trend the editor endorses for autumn. For a more polished look, Lorelai’s season one outfit—a leather jacket paired with a butterscotch pencil skirt—offers office-appropriate inspiration.
Rory Gilmore, played by Alexis Bledel, provides guidance on knitwear, particularly her Fairisle jumpers worn while working for the Yale Daily News. The editor recommends investing in similar heavy-duty yet stylish knits as the weather turns colder.
