Autumn is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing - it's now officially acceptable to watch Gilmore Girls on repeat. Wahoo! Now I have to warn you, I'm an autumnal-obsessed human. Infuriating for some, I detest the summer and spend my entire year waiting wistfully for the first crisp orange leaf to fall, to purchase a Pumpkin Spice latte and to get cosy on my sofa with a seasonal book, cosy PJs and a selection of candles in my wake. Yep, I'm that person. I also adore autumn fashion; from chunky knits and burgundy-toned pieces to camel coats, I'm your gal.
One of my absolute favourite shows to devour from September 1st is the mighty Gilmore Girls. There's just something about those opening credits, alongside the burst of orange, rustic leaves and that melodic theme tune, which is just so comforting to me. I love the dynamic duo of Lorelai and Rory, played by Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel. The way they navigate through the trials and tribulations of life in a comedic way simply soothes my soul.
Fashion-wise wise though, there's actually a lot of truly great outfits woven throughout various scenes.

The coat selection
Because it seems to be permanently cold in Stars Hollow, the cast really does rock an epic display of outerwear staples.
I personally love Lorelai's selection - we've seen the protagonist sporting camel varieties (always timeless), the humble denim jacket, and, not to mention her fabulous aviator jacket, which is so on-trend for 2025.
The slogan T-shirt
Slogan T-shirts are a trend that simply personified the 00s.

And it still is! Lorelai and Rory, although 16 years apart, regularly wore tight T-shirts emblazoned with catchphrases on the show, and we, for one, are all for it.
Mixing textures
Lorelai did sometimes play the manicured school mum, and this incredibly sleek outfit she rocked in season one, episode seven, had a well-put-together look about it.
Mixing the leather jacket with the butterscotch pencil skirt could absolutely work today if you're heading to the office and want to look smart, GG style.
Jeans and a nice top
Rory's mum, Lorelai, really was the dark denim queen in the show, regularly sporting - and nailing - the skinny, bell-bottomed jean look.

Cosy knits
Rory really did come into her own when it came to her knitwear.
