James Laver 1945 - had it nailed down:
The Cycle of Fashion
10 years before its time – indecent
5 years before its time – shameless
1 year before its time – Outre
Of its time – smart/cool/refined
1 year after it’s time – Dowdy
10 years after its time Hideous
20 years after its time – Ridiculous
30 years after its time – amusing
50 years after its time – quaint
70 years after it’s time – charming
100 years after its time – Romantic
150 years after its time beautiful
