Everybody's favourite chess prodigy didn't just renew our interest in the game—she did it with style too
Based on the 1983 novel by Walter Tevis and set between the '50s and '60s, Netflix's The Queen's Gambit made waves across the world, even earning critical praise including from author Stephen King. And while Anya Taylor-Joy's electrifying performance as Beth Harmon in this thrilling series has undoubtedly captivated audiences worldwide, vintage fashion lovers would definitely have noticed the fictional chess genius' distinct wardrobe (designed by French costumer Gabriele Binder) and how it coincides with her coming-of-age journey throughout the episodes.

1. It's All in the Collar
One of the more prevalent features in '50s and '60s women's fashion was the shirt collars. In the first picture above, Harmon sports a sleeveless Peter Pan collared top on the left, while on the right, she wears a short-sleeved sheath dress with a pointed flat collar for detail.
For those who love a cute little throwback but with a modern twist, contrasting collars of different fabrics or colours (be it on coats, dresses, or blouses) make for a great statement piece.
