Why Lorelai Looked So Cool Next to Rory | BODY TYPES

[@misslyntheena]

I feel like Lorelai is one of the best dressed characters on tv - her style is so perfect for her and her character. So easy to pinpoint, so good on Lauren Graham. Her style combination seems incredibly rare and makes it easy to replicate and everyone will immediately think “that reminds me of Lorelai” ☀️

[@t4ngy]

I feel like Lorelai's wardrobe just matches perfectly her complex personality. Rory has a great style, but for me, it always stood out as mainly academia and preppy, and as she gets older she matures this style a lot and also learns how to dress in fancier situations. Lorelai, on the other hand, is a teenager at heart who sacrificed herself to raise a baby and tried her best to become a self-sufficient woman. So she has this duality that is shown so much through her clothes, she has a really adult side as well as a really teen side. She developed a really professional style that feels natural to her as a character because she's been working since she was 17 basically and she worked her way to the top so she is very confident in her abilities just as she is confident in her business style. But at the same time, she didn't get to enjoy her youth so she got attached to being young and keeping her essence, so she has a very teen style outside of work, with a lot of colors, hats, flowy blouses, band tees, jackets, etc.

[@pryak6581]

Lauren Graham's bright winter, high contrast looks carried a good chunk of the show aesthetically. She looked absolutely stunning, and the outfits really worked with her hair and eyes. She wore a lot of lighter blues, anthracite, greys and deep reds. So interesting how much better people look in "their" colors. I still haven't figured out what my colors are, colors that really enhance my hair, eye color, features.

[@lilyblake5409]

For sure!! Another way to think of it is what colors you feel more confident in. If you don’t really like the color on you, then I’d bet it’s not your color! I’ve never thought about colors enhancing your hair thought!!

[@miriahherzog8326]

This show really made her eyes pop she looked so cool and sexy.

[@surlespasdondine]

Have you looked up the colors according to your "season"? you can find a lot of info on how to find it out online, with pictures of hair, eyes, skin tone etc. that match with a certain color set. I'm a spring:)

[@jessicamaesilva30]

Lorelai being a Bright Winter is so perfect since she loves the snow so much. 😊

[@AvecPoesie]

"I smell snow..." 🖤

[@laloba6811]

I thought she was a cool winter until i saw this video. i think im confused because lauren grahams hair in the show kept getting dyed a brassy colour

[@madisonharper4883]

You should totally talk about Paris! She’s one of my favorite characters.

Paris was gorgeous. But because of her rotten personality, it was hard to see at first. 😅 She ended up being my favourite character.

[@mandeeleis]

I would love to see Sookie, Paris and Lane! Even Emily!

[@SocialExperiment232]

@@irina3471i think she’s more of an ethereal with a bit of classic than a gamine.

i actually love one about the men’s fashion and how they relate to the women characters, especially Rory and her love interests.

[@efkia1660]

Emily is a queen

[@notoriousMAG]

You hit the nail on the head: technically Rory borrows some of Lorelai's clothing but always a different vibe...Rory is small town, Lorelai was a transplant who works hard to fit in, except when she doesn't.

Love the idea for this video, quick note said with kindness - could you turn the volume down on the music a bit? It's kinda distracting

[@ClaudiaDavZam]

Agree, I couldn't finish the video

[@hollygeorge4688]

I agree, had to use subtitles.

[@JennyNobody]

Also said with kindness the whole audio needs refinement. There is a lot of hissing which could be quelled easily and for free with audacity

[@elliejeanroyden]

Thank you everyone for the feedback here! I'm filming in a new space as I am renovating my new house so the equipment I usually use sounds completely different in an empty room with no carpets! But noted in terms of music I have passed this all along to my editor for the next one - but I'm afraid there's nothing I can do with this one now its up x

[@cohenthomas04]

@@elliejeanroydenyou paid someone to edit that?

[@bethp-s4211]

Please do Emily too! I have been rewatching and I love how her style is done, and I am sure she must be an Autumn too - she looks beautiful in a dark chocolate colour and gold jewellery. Total contrast to Lorelai and Rory!

[@misslyntheena]

Yeah I’m certain she’s a true autumn, the warm auburn hair looks stunning on her x

[@AnamariaDS]

Another good candidate for a style root breakdown is the main character in Marvelous Mrs Maisel. Those outfits are bomb! And are also very carefully chosen to reflect the inner life of the heroine.

[@mynameisreallycool1]

That's an awesome idea. I think the actress is either a soft gamine or soft classic.

[@AnamariaDS]

@@mynameisreallycool1 I checked and Rachel Brosnahan is 1,61 cm, so she could well be a SG (like myself, I may add, which is perhaps why I love the outfits in that series so much).

Wow that is so lovely to hear - I'm so glad you find my videos helpful!

[@suhasinichawla705]

Love the analysis type of videos as well as deep dive into style roots. Please continue the style roots combination shorts

[@unicornL]

I alwsys thought the reason Lorelai and Rory dressed the way they did was because Lorelai was supposed to have a stunted childhood- as in she couldn't grow up emotionally- and Rory was supposed to be the more mature one (even though she's the child). So reversed roles? Maybe I took that wrong? But also- mini skirts were so popular during that time. Im old, and I remember it so well lol.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

No I think that’s a good insight

This was my first time hearing about “style roots” and I really resonate with this theory! I’ve always had a lot of fun expressing my personal style and thinking of it as sun stone and earth makes a lot of sense to me. I’ve always been really inspired by Loreleis playful approach to fashion.

This show is really good and you can see how much work has gone into locations, costumes, dialogues etc etc.. rarely seen in dramas these days. I mean they have covered the whole town They have shown more than 6 homes and so many restaurants/cafes and shops. The innumerable town festivities, that's a lot of casting, crew and hard work. That's why it makes the show so warm and friendly. The ones that you can see on loop❤ I appreciate the color analysis, that was the icing on the top❤

I would love for you to do a style analysis on Charlie's Angels (2000). Back then they did a bts talking about the wardrobe choices and how they characterized all 3 angels.

[@joscreen3252]

Have been thinking about this and didn't know where to ask, so to whomever reads: do you think that our zyla colors could help determine our color season? For instance, my personal colors seem to all be found in the soft autumn palette. I was more looking into deep autumn but hadn't been able to pinpoint one specific season as I don't have drapes. So, can we use our zyla colors to that end? Thank you to everyone who answers.

[@merrygray2791]

I haven't noticed that direct comparison in my darker colors, like my dramatic color, but I think they can at least help guide you. I'm a Soft Summer and all of my shades have the wispy, watercolor feel to them. My romantic color is a seashell pink which can be found in the Summer palettes in general. The same with my tranquil color which is a white mint. I found Ellie's color season playlist immensely helpful. I watched them all several times (because I'm obsessive) but I was able to figure out my season without purchasing drapes so I recommend starting there!

@@joscreen3252 then you could be neutral toned! Do both gold and silver work on you? If so, I would pay more attention to your saturation and skin undertones rather than your veins. I'm neutral and found that including them in my analysis was just more confusing.

[@joscreen3252]

@@merrygray2791 I find that both gold and silver look good as long as they're not too stark, like bright yellow, but I prefer rose gold on me. I'm definitely not clear or bright, although I love black, objectively it overwhelms me, so not dark winter. That's why I was leaning dark autumn, but since my zyla colors are all reflected in soft autumn I wondered if it could be a good way to type myself. My coloring is mostly muted, not too warm not too cool, medium contrast aside from my darker hair.

Ellie, thank you so much for your work. It makes me so happy to get a notification of your channel since itso thorough and fun. I am wondering if you could make suggestions for more youthful and modern SD/Soft Dramatic recommendations? I am one and feel so left out of the fashion conversation despite being healthy weight because of my frame not being narrow while being average height (5.3.75") but have a large chest. I find what looks best on me reads so matronly and I have been told as such. I'm 21. When I say it sucks it sucks and it's made me have type resistance since while I can accesorize like can SD and not get the weird comments, I find I cannot play as much with actual clothing. Please.

She was kinda embarrassed about the band tee tho lol. She told max she only wore it because she spilled coffee on herself and it happened to be in her car.

[@lucy__v]

Definitely think Lorelai is Gamine essence! Probably with a Classic undercurrent. She looks so natural in brightly coloured clothes and fun, busy prints. Her facial features have high contrast like a Yang essence would, plus she has very pointy lips, a more compact face with a high forehead, upturned nose, rounder cheeks, dark pointy eyebrows, showing Gamine. Classic as her second because she does look good in simplistic, minimalist, sophisticated designs too like when she works at the inn and wears blazers (gamine would often suit this too). Her features work symmetrically and have too much Yang for me to consider any of the yin essences. She gives off a cheeky, playful vibe that has some maturity and classyness to it.

Im not seeing the differences between earth and stone in Rory's style- you describe both as casual and relaxed. The sweater from Rory's first scene seems like earth to me. Can you give more specific examples of the clothing pieces that represent each? I'm loving the gilmore girls videos btw!

[@bookworm598]

@irina3471 hmmm I see what you're saying, although I still feel like I need specific clothing examples. At least with Rory's clothing I'm not seeing the "cool" or stone piece, it just seems like she wears comfortable and relaxed styles

[@elliejeanroyden]

The stone is the hoodies, the converse, the oversized shapes whereas the earth influence is the rough textures, the natural colour palette, and the strange layering! Often earth and stone are present in the same outfits so yes the sweater is earth because of the wool texture but the oversized, chill nature of it is stone - I hope that clears up the difference there and how they're both at play! x

The "stone, flower, earth" aspect was kind of unnecessary, could've just said "preppy and down to earth", but overall decent video. Rory looked lovely in her Summer color palette. Lorelei's style really carried the show far as wardrobe though. She was a stunner when they dressed her in her bright Winter palette and she pulled off both a sexy yet professional look!

[@herondelaney]

Rory's best outfit is the blue boatneck that she's wearing when they yell at Christopher when he crashes Friday night dinner

[@kellyann3292]

I really enjoyed it! I’ve never watched the series, so I saw it through a different perspective. Lorelai has the confidence to pull nearly anything off. I was surprised that her outfits seemed awkward compared to her build. Though, I was blown away by the brief clip of her in the fitted skirt and heels. I think I also don’t enjoy certain street style as much as some people. It’s probably because I feel lost or clunky in most of it. Please don’t hate me, Gilmore fans! I’m willing to watch it and reconsider 😅

[@claremiller9979]

I never got into Gilmore Girls when it was on TV (yes I'm old 😂) but I did always like Lorelai's style and I think I know why - she's me, with a different body type. I'm a Bright Winter, and I think I'm a Dramatic Classic, but frills of any kind look super dumb on me. Put me in that suit Rory was wearing though, maybe toned down a little, and I look really cool. I couldn't pull off all of Lorelai 's looks but the vibe is there. I knew I had mountain and probably stone in my style roots but I now think Sun night be there too, because I also look good with bright, unnatural hair colours and edgy haircuts. Seeing yourself reflected in another person's style is really helpful! It's like oh, ok, THAT'S why I like that and why X looks good on me but Y looks weird. Thanks Ellie-Jean, all your stuff is so helpful.

I feel like you've answered this in other content, but I just get so hung up on how most Bright Winter examples have green or blue eyes. Is this part of the sense of contrast?

I'm still scratching my brain over my own color season, so I'm asking for my own sense of getting my color season radar more fine tuned.
