Fashion Breakdown: The Queen's Gambit

The popular Netflix series called The Queen's Gambit takes place during the Cold War Era. It follows a chess prodigy, Beth Harmon, who also happens to have great fashion sense. Her style is made up of classy dresses, and vintage patterns. Keep reading to find out how you can achieve the Beth Harmon look.




Elegant Dresses

The straight cut silhouette on these dresses are so effortlessly beautiful. And the patterns give it a simple, yet elegant look.You can actually find exact replicas of these dresses on Etsy, Ebay, or even Amazon. Other dresses with a similar look can be bought on UniqueVintage, Modcloth, and Theory.




50's Flair

Some dresses Beth wore have more of a 1950s style. They have a fit and flare cut, that accentrate the waist. I also admire the attention to detail on the garments from these times. There can be intricate prints and colorful patterns. You can shop at Jolly Vintage and Retro Stage for more 50s inspired dresses.




Retro Patterns

Beth also rocked this retros style throughout the series. I love the eccentric patterns that are detrimental to 60s fashion.l Look for vintage blouses and pleated skirts to achieve this look. Top it off with some nice sunglasses and hair ribbon.




Vintage Coats

Theses knee-length coats Beth wear are super chic and high fashion. They have a boxy silhouette with fitted arms, and are usually a neutral color. Visible flap pockets were a major part of 60's fashion, so try to find a coat with them, if you want a more vintage look.




Chic Pawn

This outfit is by far my favorite piece Beth wears throughout the series. It's so well accessorized with her coat, gloves, and beret. Not to mention how she also mimics a chess piece, which is very significant considering the storyline.


Overall, the details put into Beth Harmon's wardrobe are outstanding. The series itself if elevated, because of the fashion within it.
