Gilmore Girls is a popular show full of holiday vibes in its diverse sceneries. From fall festivals in Stars Hollow to Christmas dinners at Richard and Emily’s, Gilmore Girls is sure to put you in the Christmas spirit. The show really hones in on all the good feels and nostalgia the holiday season brings. Not only is it perfect to binge during this holiday season, but it is also full of adorable outfits worn by Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. Lorelai is the epitome of the “it girl” in Stars Hollow and her style emulates chic business casual. She loves playing with bright fun colors while also looking classy and professional. On the other hand, Rory’s style is the total 90’s girl. From Doc Martens, chunky sweaters, and low-rise jeans, Rory always looks cute and comfortable. These two Gilmore girls get us prepared for the winter season with some of the cutest outfits and by sharing some of the holiday spirit.

Here are 5 Gilmore Girls inspired looks that are perfect for all your holiday and winter activities.

1. outfit #1 – a walk through stars hollow

We had to start off with one of Rory’s most iconic outfits that debuted in the pilot episode of the show. We all wanted to be Rory after watching this episode by wearing this outfit, carrying a stack of books, and having someone like Dean to talk to after class. Let’s just say that Rory may have made reading cool again. Everything about this look is perfect, from the white oversized sweater to the beaded choker. This outfit sets the tone for Rory’s style throughout the rest of the show. This would be perfect for a walk through Stars Hollow, a day running errands, or going to class at Stars Hollow High.

Lorelai is known for her chic business casual looks, especially when she is going to work at the Dragonfly Inn. She is always styling her outfits with a fun blazer, denim pants, and a kitten heel. Her personal style in the show fits closely with current trends that are circulating now, such as black leather blazers and satin blouses. This outfit would be perfect for any winter day at the office or for drinking coffee before work at Luke’s Diner.

Rory’s outfits for Yale were always so perfect and she always managed to pull off a casual, cute look. This outfit in particular is so adorable; the plaid skirt and the comfortable sweater are exactly Rory’s style. Recreating this outfit for today is super easy considering tight plaid skirts paired with sheer tights are super trendy right now. For Rory, this outfit would be perfect for a winter class at Yale. For others who want to be more comfortable for classes, this outfit would be perfect for Thanksgiving or a Holiday party.

4. Outfit #4 – breakfast at luke’s diner

Arguably the most iconic part of the whole show is Lorelai and Rory’s everyday trips to Luke’s diner for what seems like every meal. Even when Lorelai and Rory are ordering everything off the menu, they still manage to dress in the cutest outfits. Both are constantly seen throughout the show mixing and matching denim styles such as denim jackets and jeans, as well as adorable overcoats during the colder days in Stars Hollow. Jean jackets will never go out of style, and they are a great layer to warm up your winter outfits (especially if they are fur-lined like Lorelai and Rory’s often are). This outfit would be perfect for a Sunday breakfast date at Luke’s diner, or even an outfit for a fun weekend of holiday activities.

5. Outfit #5 – hanging out with friends in stars hollow

Lorelai not only has the best business casual style, but she can also pull together a cute, comfortable outfit. This outfit has inspiration from the show mixed with the current most popular styles. Although platform converse were not popular during the time period of the show, I believe that Lorelai and Rory would absolutely love them if the show took place now. Taking elements from Lorelai’s style like denim jeans and bright-colored shirts and mixing them with modern trends results in this outfit. It is the perfect outfit for hanging out with friends like Luke around Stars Hollow, or even walking around campus with your roommates.
