Gilmore Girlspremiered 24 years ago today, and it remains one of the comfort shows I return to each fall. Even though more than two decades have passed, I’m still drawing style inspiration from Rory and Lorelai, especially with the resurgence of the Y2K aesthetic and Rory’s tendency to sportclassic fashion staples.

Rory Gilmore-Inspired Fall Fashion

J.Crew Factory Cable Crewneck Sweater

$98$49 at J. Crew

On chilly fall days in Connecticut, Rory is often spotted sporting a sweater. In season 4, she paired a similar cableknit sweater with jeans and blue Converse to cheer on Yale’s football team. This J.Crew Factory sweater is 100 percent cotton, making it lightweight enough for this transitional season, and machine washable for easy maintenance.

Shoppers say it has a slightly oversized fit and is soft enough to wear without an undershirt. Right now, you can score this lookalike for 50 percent off.

Allegra K A-Line Pea Coat in Red

$83$72 at Amazon

In season 3, Rory celebrated Thanksgiving in Stars Hollow in a festive red coat that resembles this style at Amazon. The fully-lined peacoat has a Peter Pan collar and hits at the mid-thigh, keeping you warm in the cooler months. It also comes in 17 other colors including blue, pink, beige, and gray.

One shopper sharedthat they “cannot get over the quality of this coat,” adding that it’s “not overly warm or itchy” and looks “expensive.” You can score this Rory-inspired coat on sale at Amazon right now.

Banana Republic Factory Timeless Turtleneck Top

$35$18 at Banana Republic

If there’s one thing about Rory, it’s that she knows how to layer. We can see her pairing this orange turtleneck with a sweater vest or coat, but she also wore a simple orange top solo with a pair of dark jeans during the early days of autumn in season 2.

This sweater is made from buttery soft fabric, and shoppers say it’s versatile and great for layering. The classic staple also comes in white, gray, black, and a striped pattern. Snap up this piece while it’s 50 percent off at Banana Republic Factory.
