Ranking the Worst (and Best) 2024 Olympic Uniforms
With the 2024 Summer Olympics taking place in Paris, we were all expecting a chic blend of sports, culture, and fashion. While some nations missed the mark, others hit the bullseye. Check out our rundown of the most stunning and, well, less impressive uniforms from the 2024 Summer Games.
Canada
Some Redditors thought Lululemon's Team Canada Olympic uniforms missed the mark. "As a Canadian, I agree. Lululemon is like that in general. They have great clothes but put the ugliest patterns on them," one person quipped on Reddit.
Seychelles
"Seychelles, they looked like they just came from a meeting at an internet start-up company." Reddit users said it, not us!
France
TikToker @khaleejette took a swipe at France’s 2024 Olympic uniform, critiquing “every unfinished detail” and quipping, “It looks like it was designed for an airline, not an Olympic athlete.”
Great Britain
Floral and comfy may be great for a Hawaii vacation or a stint on Love Island, but for the 2024 Olympic ceremony? Definitely a misstep! TBH though, the jacket is super cute!
Australia
The color scheme of Australia's ladies' 2024 Olympic ceremony outfit was “ravissant” (charming), but some critics threw it straight onto their list of fashion faux pas (social blunder), citing the awkward length and fit.
Czech Republic
Czech Republic's opening ceremony outfits for the 2024 Olympics sparked quite a bit of controversy. While some people loved them, others were unsure. Perhaps the best way to sum it up is with this Redditor's take: "It’s certainly more interesting than what Ralph Lauren came up with for the U.S."
Brazil
Perhaps "ugly" is too harsh for Team Brazil's 2024 Olympic outfits. How about disappointing? According to TikToker @kalitaku, the uniforms are "really lacking creativity."
U.S.
Hear us out, we're all for the Ralph Lauren brand — it’s preppy, clean, and screams wealth! But Team USA’s uniforms gave us total Ralph Lauren runway vibes, not athlete.
Ireland
Redditors have a lot to say about Team Ireland's Olympic ensemble, and it isn't pretty. One user remarked, "Good lord — is that a dinner jacket and some three-quarter lengths," while another wondered, "Style makes me wonder if they originally pitched this for Tokyo four years ago and then just loosely recycled their ideas this time 'round."
Bermuda
Bermuda’s 2024 Olympic uniform has left its country beaming with pride. "The ties, the scarves, the pocket squares, and the dress. Congratulations to Bermuda's athletes and the young designers who seized the opportunity of a lifetime," one user posted on Instagram.
Mongolia
“This is what loving your heritage, culture, and history looks like,” said @GigaBasedDad on X. Team Mongolia may just deserve the award for best-dressed at the 2024 Olympic opening ceremony with their traditional style and striking attention to detail.
Sri Lanka
LOVI Ceylon understood the assignment when asked to design Team Sri Lanka’s 2024 Olympic uniform. It’s breathtaking, culturally rich, and absolutely stunning.
Haiti
“Haiti is serving looks! I love that there are elements of this look that can be worn after the Olympics.” — @khaleejette on Instagram
South Sudan
"How they look like ball players and [models] at the same time! — Instagram user @ayaayahya.a.
Taiwan
Not only did Instagram commenters rave about Taiwan's 2024 Olympic uniform being sheer perfection, but the praise didn’t stop there. One person declared, “Taiwan gets gold for best-dressed!” while another eagerly asked where they could snag the look.
Despite the varied opinions on the 2024 Olympic uniforms, everyone’s entitled to their own take. So, what's yours?
