wanna buy Rita's coat, but like a piece of art you know

It's a variation of men's tailcoat, where the tail is widened to achieve a skirt-like shape. That gave it great movement when they're walking down the road and especially in a windy, stormy set.

and then they stuck crystals on it ffffff i thought it was just white painted dots but they sparkle in different lighting. Even on the inside! it's such a cool representation of the ice country.

It might look all black at first but there's a weave embroidery that should be the same pattern as the purple and white, might even be that on the Gokkan throne. The belt is a different metallic fuzzy suede. It gives a powerful impression using the soft silk. Love those in-cut seam and shoulder pad that give a braoder frame.

Yuzuki said it's cold in winter and hot in summer. I thought she'd be allowed to put on a long-sleeve undershirt for winter haha.

They might have gone for purple for a less sentai-tradition feminine colour but i wonder if they consider the association with royal or court dress? Or how well it accent against the traditional black a judge wears?
