Gilmore Girls premiered 24 years ago today, and remains one of the enjoyable shows I return to every fall. Even though it’s been over two decades, I still draw style inspiration from Rory and Lorelai, especially with the revival of the Y2K aesthetic and Rory’s penchant for classic fashion pieces.
This fall, I’m taking a page out of Rory’s style book and shopping these 11 pieces inspired by the Stars Hollow resident, including a chunky knit sweater, timeless black boots, warm-toned coats, and non-traditional denim. Keep scrolling and shop these timeless finds starting at just $10.

On cold autumn days in Connecticut, Rory is often seen in a sweater. In Season 4, she paired a similar cable knit sweater with jeans and blue Converse to cheer on the Yale football team. This J.Crew Factory sweater is 100 percent cotton, making it light enough for this transitional season, and it’s machine washable for easy maintenance.
Customers say it has a slightly oversized fit and is soft enough to wear without an undershirt. Right now you can score this double for 50 percent off.

In Season 3, Rory celebrated Thanksgiving in Stars Hollow in a festive red coat reminiscent of this style in the Amazon. The fully padded coat has a Peter Pan collar and falls to mid-thigh, keeping you warm in the colder months. It also comes in 17 other colors including blue, pink, beige and grey.
One customer said they “can’t get over the quality of this coat”, adding that it is “not overly warm or itchy” and looks “expensive”. You can find this Rory-inspired coat on sale right now on Amazon.
Banana Republic Factory timeless turtleneck t-shirt
Banana Republic; The World Bank
$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 or coat, but she also wore a simple orange top solo with a pair of dark jeans during the early days of fall in season two.
This sweater is made from a soft, buttery fabric, and customers say it’s versatile and great for layering. The classic paper clip also comes in white, grey, black and striped patterns. Grab this piece while it’s 50 percent off at Banana Republic Factory Outlet.
