Nathan Chen’s Iconic Costumes As Yuri On Ice Characters
Let’s do thissss. DISCLAIMER: I absolutely adore Nathan, I think he’s an AMAZING skater, this is all just a bit of fun, because while I do find most of his costumes aesthetically offensive to my eyes, Nathan Chen would not be Nathan Chen without his um...niche outfits. Again, this is my opinion, I’m very happy for you if you love his costumes and think they’re stunning.
1. Starting off with maybe the least offensive one? In the sense that most figure skaters happen to wear costumes like these:
Skate America 2017
This gives me very much Phichit vibes:
Excuse the cursed image of Phichit here, but I can definitely see the similarities and appreciate the vibe both Nathan and Phichit were going for. A solid 7.5/10
2. Pyeongchang 2018:
A personal favourite of mine actually!! I’m loving the mesh panels, I think it looks quite elegant and classy, possibly my favourite Nathan Chen outfit ever.
I’m getting Eros Yuuri from this:
Nathan’s costume is lacking the pretty embellishments, but both Yuuri and Nathan are giving me innocent Eros, soft and playful while maintaining a level of class. I think yes, and my rating is an 8.5/10
3. Grand Prix Final 2019
Vera Wang...babes...what have you done??
It’s confusing, it’s loud, it’s just not for me. My eyes hurt, my head hurts and my heart hurts looking at this.
Now this one’s confusing because the yellow resembles Leo’s costume, but I’m gonna give this one to Michele Crispino:
Mickey is obnoxious, slightly odd and Italian, and this yellow monstrosity is as well (the GPF in 2019 was in Turin). You don’t quite know what to make of both, so you try your best to ignore its existence. Rating: 2/10 because at least it’s not busy
4. Skate America 2019:
Bestie I- I really can’t defend this.
This is Yurio only because it lowkey looks like a jungle and Yurio loves big cats. Both are also kinda rude, but have a lot going on so you’re willing to forgive them. Rating is a 3/10 because it’s colourful, but also has me thinking i’m on a psychedelic trip with the 360p quality.
5. Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 (Short Programme):
La Boheme is kinda basic, but again it could be worse. It’s just a little bland, but I can appreciate the vibe he was going for
This is Victor during his depressive era i.e. Before Yuuri:
Victor’s sad, longing, wants more but doesn’t know how to achieve it, or what ‘more’ can even mean. Like Nathan’s costume. It’s a bit sad, stoic, appears quite 2 Dimensional, but nevertheless remains classy and formal. Rating: 7/10
6. Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 (Free Programme):
Yeah, no this one is just rude. Bestie knew he was gonna win an Olympic Gold Medal, and this is what he chose to wear. This one is obviously JJ:
Boastful, cocky, overconfident, but lowkey iconic. I wouldn’t have either any other way. For that reason, 5/10.
This post is getting VERY long now, but I have more ideas lol, if you guys want a part 2 let me know :))
