When Harry Met Sally and Gilmore Girls Both Agree on This Fall Trend
Every time the first leaf drops at the start of fall, fashion people everywhere turn to their favorite on-screen moments to commemorate the new season. Two of the biggest players include When Harry Met Sally and Gilmore Girls. I've heard so many friends talk about the wardrobe inspiration that has come from watching these two pieces of media, and I am right there with them.
One item that has been a major motif between the movie and the show is the argyle sweater. Sally wore hers in Central Park on a walk with Harry, and both Rory and Lorelai Gilmore had multiple sightings in this fall staple. If you're a fan of the New England prep-school vibe, this one is most definitely for you. You won't regret enjoying this roundup.
If you're looking for a modern-day When Harry Met Sally moment this is it. Harry and Sally would both approve of the primary color scheme and a good blazer.
An argyle sweater is a perfect piece for layering, so I feel like copying this "too cool for school" look. It feels like an adult take on one of the classic school uniforms I've seen in my favorite TV shows and films.
This photo has convinced me that cozy nights in require this staple.
If you like preppy New England fall fashion, then you already know that When Harry Met Sally is the movie to watch. Both Sally and Harry were fond of an argyle sweater-vest throughout the film.
Another New England fall favorite happens to be Gilmore Girls, which I just found out takes place in Connecticut. A long list of chunky sweaters layered atop oxford shirts outfitted the cast of characters, and this one was my favorite.
Shop the trend:
I can't imagine a person who wouldn't want their hands on this sweater.
I love this one so much that I accidentally put it in this article twice.
I asked my co-workers, and they all told me that oversize sweaters were their vibe.
For those of you who like pastels… (Hint: it's me—I like pastels.)
My closet will be filled with oversize cardigans like this in the coming months.
