What to Wear While Watching the Olympics

What to Wear While Watching the Olympics

July 16, 2024

An event that only happens once every four years?! Now that's something worth dressing up for! The Paris Olympic Games are kicking off soon with the Opening Ceremony on July 26th and concluding on August 11th - and if we’re talking girl math, that’s two weeks of outfits and the perfect excuse to shop for some more red, white, and blue! So, whether you're cozying up in your living room or joining friends at a local spot to catch all the action, part of the fun is dressing the part. If you don’t know what to wear while watching the Olympics, we’ve got you covered. Scroll along for your Olympic Game watching ‘fitspo, and get ready to cheer on your favorite athletes with these Olympic Team USA Clothing ideas.

Lounging at Home in Style

The only downside of the Summer Games happening in the City of Love is the time difference. With Paris 9 hours ahead of the West Coast and 6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, we USA fans can expect the competition to begin around midnight PST and end around 3 P.M. PST each day. Unless you plan to watch your favorite Team USA athletes in the middle of the night, this is where modern-day TV recordings save the day (or our sleep, in this case)! 

With that being said, when your alarm clock rings the next morning, it’s time to rise and shine, Olympic fans! There's nothing like waking up, grabbing a steaming cup of coffee, and settling in to watch the games in cozy PJs or comfy loungewear - all decked out in red, white, and blue, of course! Think soft, oversized sweatshirts, plush pajamas, or those cute matching sets that make you feel put together even when you’ve just rolled out of bed. These are the best Olympic Team USA clothing items you can wear at home.

Another trendy red, white, and blue outfit option is grabbing a graphic flag sweater and draping it over your shoulders for a more subtle patriotic vibe. It adds a slight "Go USA!" twist on top of the standard summer uniform of crop tops, shorts, and sneakers. Plus, the sweater will be super useful when the events end and the sun sets, taking you from the bar to dinner in a snap.
