The excitement is brewing for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Athletes from all over the world will descend on the host city to go for gold in sports like track and field, basketball, and, for the first time – breakdancing. But you can’t go to Paris, a city known for fashion, without looking your best, which is why some of the competing nations called on the hottest designers to help dress their teams.
As we get ready for the July 26 Opening Ceremony, we wanted to shout out the countries bringing their best looks to Paris this summer.

Haiti
We can’t predict how many medals the Haitian Olympic team will win in Paris. But they’ll definitely be a top contender for best dressed at the Opening Ceremony, thanks to designer Stella Jean. Daughter of an Italian father and Haitian mother, Jean honors Haitian culture in a beautiful way with these amazing looks. The pattern on the skirt and pants was created by Haitian painter, Philippe Dodard.
Nigeria
Team Nigeria called on Black athleisure brand Actively Black to design their gear. The bold colors of their flag are on proud display in these sleek warm ups.
Mongolia
Team Mongolia is another top contender for best Opening and Closing Ceremony looks. Designed by Mongolian luxury ready-to-wear designer Michel&Amazonka, these fits are the perfect marriage of style and culture.
Canada
Team Canada will wear their country’s colors with pride in Paris with help from Lululemon. Paralympian Cindy Ouellet shared her excitement about the kit on Instagram, writing, “So honored to be on team lulu! Great kit launch ! Let’s go team 🇨🇦🙌🏻” on Instagram.
Great Britain
Ben Sherman is the designer of the Opening and Closing Ceremony outfits for Team Great Britain. We love the pop of color from the embroidered flowers throughout the collection which represent the four nations within the United Kingdom.
USA
Team USA called on Ralph Lauren once again to design Opening and Closing ceremony outfits for its Olympic and Paralympic athletes. We love the blazer, striped shirt and jeans for the Opening Ceremony – a signature RL style.
Jamaica
Team Jamaica always shows up and shows out on the track at the Summer Olympic games, and this year is no exception. PUMA collaborated with the athletes and delivered stylish kits, which beautifully display the country’s colors.
“They are more than just a kit – they are a statement of the collective ambition shared between PUMA and Jamaica. They are a symbol of pride for the PUMA family, and we hope that they become a symbol of pride for Jamaicans this summer and long into the future,” said Maria Valdes, Chief Product Officer at PUMA in a statement.
France
Athletes from the host nation will compete in style with help from French sportswear brand Le Coq Sportif who designed the looks for the Olympics and Paralympics teams.
Netherlands
The only thing more exciting than the fact that breakdancing is coming to the Paris Olympics is that The New Originals designed the uniforms for the Dutch Breaking Team. The casually chic sweatsuits are a cool nod to the past. We can’t wait to see the team toprocking in these outfits!
Czech Republic
The Czech wanted to make a statement at the Opening Ceremony, and they will in these blue and white trench coats designed by Jan Černý.
“Even in the crowd, no one will miss us. This is what we want to achieve in the heart of Paris, the capital of fashion,” said President of the Czech Olympic Committee, Jiří Kejval.
Philippines
Boxers from the Philippines will represent their country at the Opening Ceremony in looks created by designer Francis Libiran. We love the detachable silk sling embroidered with a beautiful pattern meant to symbolize bravery and national pride.
Spain
We’re loving Team Spain’s looks made courtesy of Joma Sport. The company designed podium outfits as well as Opening and Closing Ceremony looks that are a cool nod to the country’s red and yellow flag.
Chinese Taipei
Chinese Taipei makes our list for one of the sharpest ceremonial outfits. After designing looks for the team in Tokyo in 2020, Justin Chou, the head designer of JUST IN XX is back with beautifully tailored looks for the Opening Ceremony.
