Love your insight on exactly what is so irksome about Rory's college years clothes! It's easy to imagine keeping the "beautiful actress suspension of disbelief" with the sweaters of her high school days, Yale sweatshirts, band t-shirts and the Urban Outfitter "funny" t-shirts I believe we wearing back then.
She dressed like my friends until season 6! We definitely wore a lot of urban outfitters shirts in college and I was a freshman at Duke during Season 7’s original run.
Yes! Initially she was still dressing like us! Then in season 7 it was like they decided she was too pretty to wear tshirts or something.
This episode gets points for me because of featuring Funny Girl which is absolutely one of my favorite movies even though it has some weird parts.
I was always glad they finally did let Lorelai and Christopher actually try to be together so that it could finally be over instead of her just always having him as an option in the back of her head.
It's interesting to reflect on Rory's clothes, and to compare them to what I would have worn in college. I was in college in the 2010s, so after Rory, but in possibly an even more casual era, though not as casual as the one we're in now. I didn't wear makeup or do anything fancy with my hair, and I didn't dress up quite as much as she does here, but I did wear coordinated outfits with jewelry every day! (Usually nice jeans or shorts on the bottom, except for pin attire Mondays for my sorority, which I secretly loved even though everyone else hated them. I was sad when they moved to only once a month my senior year!) I, like Rory, was an intensely academic and very busy college student, but I just liked clothes. I do agree that it's out of character for her, but those well-dressed college kids exist!
Now I work from home and wear jeans on a good day. Sweatpants are more common. I kind of missing dressing up for class, but not enough to get a job where I have to go into an office!

Absolutely. The more I think about it, the more I think it was more about dressing for Logan and his world, which is maybe why I hate it so much!!!
