How to play the fashion trends timeline game

Here every card is a look people rushed to copy: dresses, swimsuits, boots, haircuts, sunglasses, jeans and whole internet aesthetics. Under each name sits the designer, star or brand most tied to it, and the year is when that look launched or broke into the mainstream. One card starts on the timeline with its year in view. Place each new card in the gap you trust. Get it right and its year appears; get it wrong and it still lands where it belongs, but one of your three lives goes with it.

Fashion loves a comeback, so this deck is harder than it looks. Plenty of these looks were revived decades later, so the version you remember wearing may not be the first wave. Watch the icon line: a designer, a movie star or a TV show can pin a trend to its moment better than the clothes themselves. The newest cards are named aesthetics that spread online, each one covering a whole style.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
