No matter how many decades have gone by, Gilmore Girls, a witty television series, never fails to provide a familiar sense of comfort to all its viewers. It revolves around a young quick- witted mother, Lorelai Gilmore and her bookish daughter ,Rory Gilmore and the unbreakable bond they share.
The warm snug atmosphere of Stars Hollow, endless cups of coffee as well as the snappy banter and romance are what make this show iconic.
However, most importantly what sets this quirky dramedy apart is the fashion. Gilmore Girls is the ultimate trend setter in today’s world. The characters carry an expansive range of style choices that still hold up today.
A part of the charm of this show is how the outfits are relatable yet flashy and funky. From low rise jeans to cable knit sweaters, viewers could see themselves in the wardrobe of the Gilmore girls and resonate with it when the show first premiered. Through the 153 memorable episodes, we see the style of the mother daughter duo shift. Their fashion choices evolve along with their characters, still managing to preserve the flair.
Lorelai's wardrobe consisted of whimsy boot cut jeans along with bedazzled slogan t-shirts. Although, as the seasons progressed her work attire significantly improved as formal shirts and blazers replaced rhinestoned everything and paisley bandanas.The outfits throughout the course of seven seasons never failed to reflect her unique and truly one of a kind personality, her fashion sense matured just as her character did.
At the very beginning of the show, Rory was depicted as a studious young girl whose one priority in life was her education. She didn’t give much thought into her outfits until she went from being in high school in Chilton to actually going to college. Huge cozy sweaters and floral dresses layered with cardigans were the epitome of Rory’s style. Living with her grandparents for a significant amount of time and getting more involved with the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) influenced her fashion choices immensely as she began to dress rather sophisticatedly.
Even after fifteen years since the finale of Gilmore Girls aired, this show mangages to have the most iconic fashion moments in history. With each tiny shoulder bag and Juicy Couture track suit, the show surely succeeded in making a great impact with its fashion today.
