Emily's Jeans (Episode 1: "Winter")

Netflix

In one of the most shocking moments of the revival, Emily Gilmore stepped out in a pair of faded, distressed jeans that once belonged to Lorelai. In case that wasn't quite enough of a transformation, she topped the outfit off with a short-sleeved (gasp!) baseball T-shirt.

The "Totes Y'all" bag from Reese Witherspoon's Draper James line almost makes up for it, but even the adorable tote can't quite excuse Lorelai and Rory's truly dismal summer hat game.
