there are a few television series that become our comfort zones — our go-to when we need a dose of warmth, nostalgia, and a guaranteed mood lift. gilmore girls is undoubtedly one of them. we’ll never forget the indomitable duo of lorelai and rory, whose charm, intellect, and style continue to inspire us today. if you're looking for youthful, preppy fashion inspiration, rory gilmore should be your muse.
rory practically made pleated plaid skirts her signature — from her chilton school days right through to her yale years. it’s no coincidence that pleated skirts are resurging as a major trend this season. celebrated for their practicality, polish, and timeless charm, the pleated mini or midi skirt remains a must-have for modern wardrobes.
to complete the look in a way that feels timeless and cozy, we’re pairing the skirt with a marine blue cable-knit sweater from ralph lauren. cable-knit sweaters are back in the spotlight, especially as a staple for layering and comfort. the rich navy hue adds academic elegance, reminiscent of the prep school aesthetic that’s trending again.

no rory-inspired outfit is complete without accessories that feel personal and romantic. this season, we’re styling the look with cinco pieces: the molly choker, a delicate yet contemporary touch, and the norma white earrings, feminine and timeless. together, they bring a subtle elegance that enhances the nostalgic, preppy mood without overpowering it.
