Sixties geometry in monochrome and mustard, a white coat and hat at the end, and green used exactly once for a reason.
Gabriele Binder designed the series around the game itself — "All the shapes we have in chess — everything geometric and contrasting — we can find in the costumes" — and used colour with the same precision. On the greens: "The color is present a lot after the car crash. We decided on this color to show a bit of fragility since it is a connection to her mother."
Straight from the shoulder, no waist, at or above the knee. The base shape of the whole wardrobe.

Think in shapes, not prints. A colour-blocked dress, a checkerboard knit, a geometric collar. Binder's whole method was contrast and geometry, and a floral would kill it instantly. The sixties silhouette is a shift: straight from the shoulder, ending at or above the knee, with no waist definition. That single shape covers most of the wardrobe. Stay in a tight palette — black, white, camel, mustard, olive. Add green only if you want the reference to land properly. And finish at the head. A hat, a headband or a sharp collar. Beth's outfits are always closed at the top, which is what makes them read as composed rather than merely retro.
Sharp sixties geometry: shift dresses, checkerboard knits, the white wool coat and knee boots. The palette tightens as she wins more.
It's the whole thesis — the board worn as clothing. One checked piece per outfit is enough; she never repeats the joke twice.
Anything loose or boho. Beth's silhouettes are precise as an opening line — fitted, cropped, deliberate.
