A Capsule Wardrobe Inspired by Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls

Lorelai Victoria Gilmore is a whirlwind if there ever was one. Maybe it’s the immense amount of coffee she consumes, but her ability to meet every challenge while keeping a calm exterior and bank of one-liners on deck is unparalleled.

I for one would love to charm everyone I meet by referencing one of a thousand books that I know like the back of my hand, while also dressed in an eccentric outfit that somehow only I could pull off. Wouldn’t you?

For this week’s capsule wardrobe (see our last capsule based on Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour and album), we’re taking a look at Lorelai’s envy-inducing cool mom style.

Lorelai loves wrap dresses (more on this in our Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life post); she wears them throughout every season of the show, and on top of that she loves fun prints and colors, so the three dresses pictured above are perfect for her!

A classic black blazer is a staple in every working woman’s closet as it doesn’t necessarily need to be paired with a plain black skirt or pants like a suit — it can be worn over almost anything to transform an outfit to be a little more formal.
