Ginsburg broke from tradition upon her selection to the Supreme Court by eschewing the traditional American judicial robe for a French ''robe d'avocat'' (Justice O'Connor would later follow suit), and later wearing an assortment of fancy neckwear. She was known for her unusual collection of jabots (a decorative clothing item, often worn by female judges in other countries). She has particular ones she wears: crocheted yellow and cream with crystals (a gift from her law clerks) when issuing a majority opinion, and black with gold embroidery and faceted stones when issuing a dissenting opinion.
