The Truth About The Strict Wardrobe Rules The Gilmore Girls Cast Had To Follow

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Wednesday, June 5, 2024

To see some of "Gilmore Girls" best looks, you can scope out the show's active Instagram, or go back and binge the entire series on Netflix. The former set costumer on "Gilmore Girls" Valerie Campbell has also used TikTok to share her insider knowledge on the rules the wardrobe department followed for each character's unique look. One of the more obvious examples is Luke's clothing since he's arguably the most consistent character style-wise. Campbell told her followers that his look usually boiled down to a backwards baseball cap, flannel shirt with rolled-up sleeves, and his signature army jacket.

Other characters also had specific rules for what they wore nearly every episode. In the case of Richard Gilmore, Campbell told viewers, "Once we discovered that we needed a rule like 'he always wore a pocket square' there was always a pocket square."

Campbell shared that two characters' clothing choices stood out since it meant she would have to change other costuming choices. "Luke and Lorelei were always wearing jeans, so they kind of used up the quota." She joked that if more players were dressed in jeans it might become "the jeans show." Because of this, background actors were dressed to add variety; "They wore khakis, cords, whatever, anything else but jeans."
