Olympics 2018: A ranking of all of Johnny Weir’s looks, from worst to best
4. The actual sort-of cravat
He might call them ruffles in the Instagram caption, but after taking a look at the “cravat blazer” earlier, we can’t not call that a ruffly cravat. No, we’re not sorry about it either.
This might be the best standalone or statement jacket of them all, with one very notable exception to come later. The all-black cravat/ruffles and shirt work well with this open jacket, and the pants have just a bit of shine to them to pick up the brightness in the jacket without taking too much attention away from the jacket.
It might just be the lighting from the photo, but it looks like the pants and jacket are about the same color as well — or at least they’re reflecting onto each other to give the impression that they’re the same color.
3. The black, white and silver ensemble
This probably qualifies as understated for Weir, which is saying something considering most people wouldn’t dare try approximately everything he’s wearing. However, that’s what makes it so striking. It’s quite simple, with all the attention drawn to what he refers to as the “harness” in the description on Instagram, and that’s the point. Had he paired it with a patterned jacket, everything would have been easily overwhelmed and the finer details lost in visual madness.
While others might appreciate the louder jackets, Weir’s shown in this outfit that he can do something relatively subtle and still look great for commentating.
