Not Awesome: Hating on Lorelai’s Clothing in Gilmore Girls

Let the record show that we love Lorelai Gilmore. We love her for her coffee addiction, her monologues, her snow obsession, her appetite, her independence, her relationship with Rory and for a trillion other things that make her the coolest mom in Stars Hollow. We do not, however, love her outfits in Season 1 of “Gilmore Girls.”

Costume designers Caroline B. Marx and Robin Lewis-West, not to mention the year 2000, are to blame for the sartorial misses. They’ve got her in triangle headscarves, rhinestone embellishments and scarves attached to dresses that look like they came from the sale section of a Delia’s catalogue. It’s a pure delight to re-watch the first season of “Gilmore Girls” (new to Netflix!), but the binge-watching is now paired with screams of “WTF are you wearing?!?!?!?!?!” Lorelai Gilmore, we forgive you, but we will never forget your patterned short-sleeved turtlenecks.
