What to Wear While Watching the Olympics

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.

 

 

Keep that team spirit alive in these comfy options as you transition from your bed to your couch!

So go ahead and wrap up in a fuzzy blanket, slip on some cozy socks, and you're all set to cheer on your favorite sport athletes from the comfort of your couch. Morning Paris Olympic viewing has never been so stylishly comfy! These red, white, and blue outfits will help bring on the patriotic spirit!

At Your Local Sports Bar

Ready to cheer on your favorite Olympic athletes at the sports bar? Here’s the game plan for the perfect patriotic outfit: Go for sporty chic with an oversized USA graphic tee or polo shirt and your fave cut-offs or white jeans - comfort is key for those intense moments! And if you're aiming for a more fitted look, simply knot the tee for a feminine touch.

 

 

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.

 

Backyard BBQ United States Viewing Party

When you score an invite to a BBQ, it’s the perfect excuse to rock a new outfit that's all about red, white, and blue! Picture yourself slipping into a cute romper or an effortless mini dress crafted from light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to stay cool in the heat. Don't forget comfy sandals or flat sneakers for navigating grassy lawns with ease. Now that your Team USA Olympic outfit is sorted, get ready to dive into burgers and ice cream, all while cheering on your home team in true style!

 

Poolside Patriotism

If you’re headed to a pool party, dive into the spirit of the Olympic Summer Games with a cute swimsuit or cover up with a patriotic twist! Our bestselling Ribbed One Piece or beloved Hot Tub Top + Sail Bottom are both perfect for a quick swim between events or lounging on a comfy pool float. When your time in the water ends, easily throw on our Overnight Tee, featured in an oversized silhouette with a USA graphic at the chest for that timeless, vintage-inspired look.

If you want something more put together for your fashion choice, our Parker Button Down is perfect for lounging around while cheering on your favorite athletes poolside! Make it an effortless 'fit styled with the matching Russell Shorts. Top off any of these looks with a wide-brimmed straw hat and retro-inspired sunglasses. 

 

 

 

All of these options are fun and summer-appropriate ways to dress the part of a Team USA fan!

Last-Minute Plans

If you’re in a pinch, you can’t go wrong with a classic dress-and-sneaker combo. To get away with looking on-theme with absolute minimal effort, reaching for a white or red sundress will do the trick! Just add some flair with patriotic accessories like red sunglasses, a cute bow, or a pop of red on your feet. It’s perfect for rooting on Team USA, but you can rock this look all summer long.
