Fall is an unapologetically cozy season, filled with fresh jacket trends, seasonal treats and beverages, and the requisite Gilmore Girls rewatch. Lorelai and Rory Gilmore are an unforgettable TV mother-daughter duos for many reasons—such as their fast-paced conversations and endless coffee consumption—but one of our favorite parts is their enviable yet accessible style. Both characters take eclectic dressing to a new level by styling pieces we wouldn’t normally think of putting together—but they make it work.

Sweaters are undoubtedly one of the most iconic parts of their outfits, from Rory Gilmore’s iconic white cable knit to statement colors and prints that test the possibilities of knitwear (which fits right in with current non-basic sweater trends). For some cozy style inspo fresh out of Stars Hollow, we rounded up 13 of the most iconic sweaters Lorelai and Rory Gilmore ever wore.

Bold Fuchsia Turtleneck

Lorelai was ahead of the times with this one. Keeping in line with all the bold hues trending this fall, add some color to your wardrobe with a cozy fuchsia turtleneck. Style it with a pair of dark wash jeans and booties to complete the look.

Pumpkin Spice Sweater

If you’re looking to embody quintessential fall in a modern sweater, look no further. Rory’s ombré gradient sweater features hues of copper and brown, making for the perfect fall look. She completed her festive ensemble with a matching ribbon in her hair.

Minimalistic Neutrals

Lorelai wasn’t much of a minimalist—we all know she had a penchant for putting together some wacky outfits—but she kept it simple with this one, which we immediately want to add to our fall wardrobes. In this sweater, the Gilmore Girl looks polished and put-together for another day at the Dragonfly Inn. To embrace a neutral color palette, style a similar knit with a light brown slip skirt and coordinating loafers.

Pretty in Purple

It can be intimidating to work prints into your wardrobe, but if you take a page from Rory Gilmore’s sweater playbook, she makes it look simple. Take this gray and purple style, for example: It’s understated while still adding dimension to a classic sweater.

Ombré Effect

This fiery red and pink sweater was very on trend and very Y2K of Lorelai. I vividly remember a sweater I wore in middle school resembling this almost identically. Fast forward, and brands like Ulla Johnson have elevated early 2000s trends with a current spin. If you’re looking to add color to your wardrobe in a fresh and fearless way, this does just that. Style it with your favorite denim, and tie the bright hues into some colorful heels.

Rory’s Iconic White Sweater

Fashion goes full circle, and a new wave of fans are discovering Gilmore Girls and falling in love with Rory’s iconic white fisherman sweater from the pilot episode. It’s timeless and has major L.L. Bean catalog energy, plus it fits right in with 2025’s overarching fisherman trend.

Scarlet Statement

If you didn’t have enough reasons to admire Lorelai Gilmore, her confident ability to rock any color is a major plus. Not to mention, she was ahead of the times on yet another buzzy trend: pops of bright red, which have taken over the past several seasons across shoes, bags, and more. Pictured here having dinner at her parents’ house, Lorelai wears a striking scarlet turtleneck that coordinates perfectly with her red lipstick. This look is really easy to emulate—you just need a good pair of black pants and your favorite red lip.

Pop of Cobalt

Royal blue is associated with regal energy, symbolizing confidence and strength—plus, shades of cobalt are majorly trending this fall. Not quite a navy, but also not a neon, this is a beautiful, rich color scheme for a fall sweater that will have you looking and feeling like your most confident self.

Wintry Fair Isle

If you’re a Gilmore Girls fan, you know Lorelai and Rory’s favorite time of year was winter, specifically when it snowed. True to their love of everything snowy and magical was Rory’s fair isle sweater, a trend that’s currently having a major resurgence for après-ski. To elevate a fair isle zip-up, style it with a fitted tank and black mini skirt. Tights are optional, depending on the weather and your style preference.

Buttoned-Up Cable Knit

A good cable knit cardigan will always stand the test of time. A fan of classic styles, Rory would often rotate out hero pieces, including this button-up cardigan. Stay true to Gilmore Girls style by layering yours over a tee with baggy jeans and sneakers.

Colorful Stripes

Lorelai’s taste for the colorful and chaotic is ideal if you’re looking for ways to bring some fun to your cold-weather wardrobe—we love the energy of this multicolored striped sweater that she wore in season three. With color blocking a major trend for upcoming seasons, you’re sure to get lots of wear out of a Gilmore Girls-inspired sweater in whatever palette sparks joy for you.

Classic Copper

Cozy shades of copper and rust will always be in style for fall, and a knit is an ideal piece if you’re looking to embrace an orange outfit. Take note from Rory with an understated, ultra-cozy design that will pair seamlessly with jeans, midi skirts, and trousers.

Cozy Layers

While techniques like sweater stacking are more recent phenomenons, the Gilmore Girls would embrace some good layering from time to time. Here, Rory embraces an endlessly versatile, relaxed fit gray sweater, adding a bright red zip-up overtop for a cozy pop of color and extra warmth.
