Probably reading into it too much, but it's interesting that Viktor's waistcoat folds over the left side instead of the standard.
Context:
Most mens clothing buttons/fastens over the right with the left side on top like so:
While women's clothing folds the other way:
Supposedly, this is not to distinguish gender, but to aid in dressing. This distinction dates back to when most [upper class] women were assisted in dressing. It was easier for [right handed] servants to fasten clothing which was buttoned over the wearer's left. Men, however, would dress themselves and had an easier time buttoning clothes that folded over the right.
Now, in today's society (or in the society of Arcane) this is irrelevant as most people dress themselves (with the exception of those with mobility or cognitive issues such as infants, the elderly, or the disabled). Thus, this has become nothing more than a gender-distinguishing trait in fashion.
This probably doesn't mean anything, but I noticed it while looking at references for my cosplay. It bothers me.
The possible takeaways are as follows:
Viktor wears women's clothing for a plethora of possible reasons (trans viktor confirmed!!!!?!?!??)
Viktor lacks the motor skills needed to fasten his clothes and requires some form of help
He's left handed and has custom clothing to aid mobility
It's symbolic of his physical ability and independence (like how vi and jinx have Vs and Xs in their designs)
It's a meaningless design trait that the artists incorporated without any deep, hidden meaning and I'm just projecting my historical fashion hyperfixation onto my current project.
(Although please note that every male character has vests/blazers/coats that fold over the correct way or down the middle, with the exception of Viktor and also Heimerdinger for some reason) (but also note that I didn't check every character) (and I don't seriously believe any of this, I'm just bothered by the knowledge that the way everyone's clothes fold over is seemingly random and has nothing to do with established fashion norms and no other apparent pattern. But the idea of trans viktor, however unlikely, was enough to cast my findings into the void.)
