2024 Paris Fashion and Olympic Leotard discussion

[wishfulgoddess]

I liked Romania's and I thought Japan's looked beautiful in motion, but it doesn't really come across in still pictures.

Mexico is weird but GB is weird in the other direction--one is not sporty enough, one is too sporty.

I'm happy to see so much use of national colors, though! I just couldn't stand all of the pink and purple leotards from the mid-2000's.

I was afraid that the Barbie movie would inspire more pink leotards.

I liked the fireworks USA leo, it looked like actual fireworks going off in action.

Oh man, they can hire Disney and incorporate some fiber optics into them and really light the place up!

Please don't give GK any ideas

Arena fashion: I like how the big screen that has the flags on it when they enter the arena is kind of hidden behind the entryway arch thing. I hate the trend of the gigantic screen taking up an entire wall of the arena at Worlds. I just noticed this swimming arena on primetime has the screen hidden the exact same way as the gymnastics arena.

A lot of them don't look right in still photos. Australia's are pretty in photos, but way better in motion.

Photos vary so much depending on angles, lighting, camera quality, etc. Just for a comparison here are several pics of the USA prelim leo:

I really really don't like the shiny knickers thing.

Will Suni and Simone go matching for AA finals?

 

[Passion]

That Romanian leo is just wacky.

Suni and Jade didn't in Tokyo. Simone and Ally didn't in Rio. Ally and Gabby did in London. Shawn and Nastia wore the same leo different colors in Beijing.

GBs would be nice apart from that weird side panel thing.
Japan’s China probably my favourites for TF.

 

[makam]

I liked the raglan look of GB but that side mesh is a no from me.

 

[RedBirdie]

Yes, the GB Leo would be superior if the side mess was either the same as the rest of the body or the navy blue of the trim.

My mom pointed out that Italy's leo has bunny ears on it and now I can't unsee it.

I like the chinese one a lot except for the white on the sleeves. It looks nicer pushed up like in that picture. Romania's is the definition of a car crash of ideas. It doesn't have the ruffled collar, true, but it is still too circus-like for me.

The color blocking on it was... a choice
