8. The cravat blazer

There is no other name for this blazer other than “the cravat blazer,” because that’s what it reminds this writer of. To explain further, it effectively looks as though a less ruffled version of Ace Attorney character Miles Edgeworth’s cravat came to life and reproduced itself into a jacket.

Granted, Weir mentions that it’s actually vintage, and Edgeworth is a modern video game character, but now that I’ve made the comparison, it’s impossible not to see it any time I look at this ensemble. That’s probably why it rocks so much.

As with previous looks, aren’t his ankles cold? Then again, socks would probably ruin the look somehow.

7. The most visually busy of them all

That is certainly a pattern, isn’t it? However, because this is a two-color-only look — gold and black, to be precise — it’s not overwhelming. Additionally, although the shoes do pick up the same color scheme, it’s a subtle enough pattern that the focus is, as it should be, on the jacket and the shirt, because yes, the shirt and neck accessory match the blazer. He even notes in the Instagram caption that the shirt and blazer come from the same brand.

We haven’t even talked about the hair yet, but it is exceptionally poofy in this photo. Presumably he wanted to save this outfit for one of the more important events — part of the ladies’ competition, in fact.
