Hey, unpopular opinion probably. I know loud clothes and especially womenswear are fun to write and draw (heck I used to be a womenswear designer), but there is no canon indication Viktor Nikiforov is into bright color, patterns, flowy things, dresses or anything of the type. Quite the opposite!

(We’ll ignore official art that are collabs because those tend to force the characters into outfits that don’t always fit)

First consider his skating outfits. Young Viktor was adventurous, but adult Viktor has very specific taste. You can see all his costumes have classic menswear elements like collars, lapels, epaulettes, doublebreast, waist darts, and the silhouettes are cut close and simple. He is also, apparently, really into chains…

Now, coach Viktor. You know the opportunity to wear a 3-piece suit is part of what makes him love being a coach. Do we even need to discuss his love of tailored outerwear?

And Yuuri, of course Yuuri.

Casual clothes, he’s actually a minimalist. His blazers are almost all double vented so he obviously pays close attention to style, but everything is very classic and understated.

One thing that fandom sometimes gets wrong is that he is NOT into colors and prints! We really only ever see him in blue and neutrals. Are you gasp afraid of color, Viktor?
