This Luke Danes costume helps you dress like the owner of Luke’s Diner with comfort and ease. This Gilmore Girls-inspired outfit works for both men and women to re-create this Halloween. You’ll embody the look of the grumpy yet dutiful giver of coffee that everyone loves to love. Let’s put it together!
Why You’ll Love This Luke Danes Costume For Halloween
This beloved owner of Luke’s Diner isn’t exactly known for fashion and style in Stars Hollow. Rather, his looks are that of a classic American male: a flannel shirt, jeans, and a backward baseball cap.
To style your hair like Luke Danes, aim for a rugged and low-maintenance look. Keep your hair short with a slightly messy texture. Add a backward baseball cap to complete the look.
This is easy for both men and women to recreate, so there are options for everyone below. You may even be able to pull some from your closet!

Baseball Cap
Luke Danes is known for always wearing his backward baseball cap at his diner. This plain, unisex, adjustable one fits the bill for everyone.
I prefer navy for this costume, but it comes in a variety of colors.
Plaid Flannel Button-Down Shirt
Nothing says Luke Danes like a plaid flannel button-down shirt! Buzzfeed even compiled a list of SEVENTY-FIVE plaid shirts that Luke wore during Gilmore Girls.
While any plaid flannel button-down shirt will work, this Amazon Essentials plaid button-down shirt is highly rated and comes in dozens of options. It’s technically a men’s shirt so women can size down to wear it.
Jeans
Luke is a denim guy, through and through, and I selected a few curated options from the classic American Levi’s brand for both men and women that I felt matched his very basic, comfortable aesthetic: regular fit for men and boyfriend fit for women.
However, feel free to wear any jeans you already own!
Boots
Accessories
A few accessories that can work really well for your this costume are a classic glass carafe (filled with Luke’s Diner coffee, of course) and/or a dish towel (slung over your shoulder).
