This article will teach you everything you need to know about The Queen’s Gabmit fashion and how to dress like Beth Harmon.

It really took 2020 to get the whole world interested in chess. But I was sold on The Queen’s Gambit as soon as I caught a glimpse of the 1960s fashion.

The limited series that has become the most watched series on Netflix to date follows the story of an orphaned girl, Beth Harmon, with an incredible talent for chess. The role is perfectly played by my new style crush Anya Taylor-Joy and the series as a whole features many other incredible actors.

Now you might be thinking “Chess? Really? Is this what it’s come to?” But trust me, you won’t be able to stop watching this one. And you might even consider learning how to play chess. I mean, I didn’t, but that’s because I was interested in learning about Beth Harmon’s outfits.

The 1960s don’t receive the amount of nostalgic fashion love granted to the ’70s and ’90s, and after watching this series, I’m not quite sure why. Yes, the clothes do take a much more minimalistic and neutral tone, but this show has truly brought a youthfulness to the elegant trends of the decade.

The first episodes might have you wondering what I’m talking about, as Beth only wears similar variations of a pinafore dress, but as she matures, so does her style. We suddenly find ourselves in a Prada like aesthetic: the symmetry, the geometry, the beige, the color blocking, must I say more? Obviously, I’ve been obsessed with replicating this style, and here’s how you can too.
