It's been an interesting journey getting to know the fashion trends of each figure skater this season. The quirkier ones have finally worn me down, with some of the most bizarre costumes on display at the 2016 NHK Trophy.

Get ready to see some of the draggier and campier looks that had previously evaded the podium. I guess when in Japan, do as the Harajuku do.

MEN'S

Gold - Ryuju Hino (SP)

It's starting to get a little tight with all the repeats, but bless Hino for giving me something to look at. I love the organic, multi-dimensional lace detail that organically swirls around his body, which make his jumps and spins all the more beautiful.

Silver - Yuzuru Hanyu (FS)

This is how you Weir it. Hanyu displays gorgeous coloration and movement, with just the right amount of bling. The only reason this costume hasn't been featured before is that it pales in comparison to his short program gorgeousness.

Bronze - Nathan Chen (SP)

The talented Chen displayed a super-stylish little number that looks like it's plucked from a recent Burberry collection. I love the lace and solid blocking, which gives his costume a sporty, yet romantic look.
