Rory Gilmore's Style

Okay so! As I briefly stated in my introduction I am OBSESSED with Gilmore Girls. So much so that I am wary to watch other things with Alexis Bledel in them simply because I don't want to ruin my personally acknowledged delusion that the entire Gilmore world is real. Too much I know. However one thing we can probably all agree on is Rory Gilmore has enviable style. And no I don't mean in her high school where she was a bit awkward and childlike with her style and rightfully so for her character at the time. I'm talking about her style at Yale in seasons 4-7 it was conservative, girly, classic, preppy and understated; while still managing to be chic, laid back and trendy.

Camille Sweater
Dixon Lake Shirt











To Go Cup



American Eagle Skinny Jeans



Steve Madden 'Jazie' Oxford









We all know how much Rory loves to learn and being late for class or missing a chance to study because she's spending 3 hours to pick out an outfit just wouldn't happen. Her looks for class are usually preppy, conservative and put together but with very little effort because learning comes first. As with any classic Connecticut girl, sweaters are a major part of Rory Gilmore's' wardrobe and she loves to pair them with oxford style colors so this blue round necked sweater with the oxford style button up collar sticking out is a great staple piece of Rory's wardrobe. Now while the skinny jean oxford trend had yet to break onto the scene during Rory's days at Yale, I could definitely see her jumping onto this trend. The classically tailored yet laid back look of this current trend just screams Rory Gilmore to me; and lets be honest she rocked those saddle shoes during her years at Chilton. Last but certainly not least  while this to go cup is titled "tea lovers" I think the soft blue colors and floral pattern channel Rory perfectly; and it will certainly be fit to fill the infamous coffee addiction, during a long day of classes, studying, and dealing with Paris, Logan, and Doyle at the Yale Daily News.



Snownap Hoodie


  






Reading is Sexy Shirt

"Meet me at Luke's!":

American Eagle Skinny Kick Jeans



   






When Rory is back at home in Stars Hallow, or even just lounging around the dorms at Yale her style is much more reminiscent of young seasons 1-3 Rory and therefore reminiscent of Lorelai. The witty t-shirt is something that is very Gilmore-esque; and the "Reading Is Sexy" caption is a perfect fit for Rory; (in fact she wore this exact shirt design in yellow in a scene in an episode of season 4). The jeans are American Eagles new "Skinny Kick" style. The Skinny Kick jeans are a new more tailored version of the classic Boot-cut style jeans; and considering the polished look of Rory Gilmore I think this would be a perfect current look for her. And of course a zip up hoodie and a pair of converse two staple pieces Rory wears in every season of the show so they were a must for this outfit and this article.   




"Friday Night Dinner.."

Poppy Festival Dress




Erin Patent Mary Jane



                 


White Pearl Necklace Set
Of course there cannot be a Rory Gilmore style article without talking about the fashion of Friday night dinners. Dinner at Richard and Emily's house is anything but casual; dinner must be served exactly on time and you MUST be dressed properly. I love this floral print Poppy Festival Dress its formal without being to stuck up and it's feminine airy floral look is a perfect look for Rory's style and the burnt red cardigan is not only a staple element of the Rory Gilmore wardrobe it brings out the accent colors of the dress wonderfully. And last but not least the shoes and jewelry; the Pearl set channeling Emily compliments the outfit while pleasing her ever difficult grandmother and the Mary Jane heals just scream Rory Gilmore this is a look she has been known to rock and of course she would! These Mary Janes have a sensible heal height while remaining feminine, conservative, and classic while staying laid back and understated which is exactly what Rory is all about; and of course that's why we love her!


I hope you enjoyed my post on the style of the most sensible Gilmore girl. Now tell me....How do you channel Rory Gilmore? 
until then .....Tata for now but not forever :)
