Gilmore Girls Costumes for a Couple, Group, or Family
Rory Gilmore (Chilton Uniform)
Our favorite literary-loving heroine is best known for her most worn outfit on the show — her blue Chilton prep school uniform.
In fact, these specific Rory Gilmore costume ideas have been beloved by readers of The Literary Lifestyle for years.
Of course, I recommend you carry a book with you too. Anna Karenina is Rory’s favorite!
Lorelai Gilmore (First Day at Chilton)
To dress as Rory’s fast-talking, coffee-drinking mother, Lorelai Gilmore, I recommend that you re-create the iconic outfit that she wore when she woke up late for Rory’s first day of school at Chilton and didn’t have time to pick up her clothes at the cleaners.
I describe this look as “cowgirl meets businesswoman.” Even Rory quipped that she didn’t know the rodeo was in town when she first saw it.
It’s quintessential “Lorelai.”
Luke Danes
Luke Danes, the Stars Hollow diner-owner and “Will they or won’t they?” friend of Lorelai is most known for wearing jeans, flannel shirts, and baseball caps in practically every episode of Gilmore Girls.
His looks are that of a classic American male and can be easily pulled together and accessorized with Luke’s Diner gear like a dish towel and/or a coffee carafe.
Sookie St. James
Lastly, Lorelai’s sweet and bubbly best friend and business partner at the Dragonfly Inn, Sookie St. James, has a chef aesthetic that is both classic and unique.
To dress like Sookie, wear chef gear as bold and bright as her personality, and then accessorize it with her trademark auburn pigtails and handkerchief scarf.
Bonus points if you add a dragonfly to your costume!
