2024 US Nationals Fashion

Let's get started, because there's gonna be some feelings about this leo.



If these replicas are accurate, well, again, feelings.

 

[Seyonne]

Kinda clownish, but I can’t help but applaud a bold choice. Overall, though I much prefer the old school sportier leos.

Anyone with a Washington Post subscription willing to gift the article?

What's the Tim Gunn quote? "If that's the look you were going for, you certainly picked a good one!"

 

[Sasha]

It's certainly a look. As for the replicas, they seem fine to me? Who wants to bet that the second from the left is WCC? It has their look.

Those are Suni's.

The order from the left is Jade, Suni, Jordan, Simone.

Hard no for me and I love me some Chiles.

Chiles posted this about her day 2 leo inspiration:

That Chiles Leo is giving Dominique Dawes at 1994 nationals

I still kinda love this leo! Funny, the leo she wore for EFs was a simple solid blue. Wild how different her choices were that year. (also, any excuse to post this floor routine)

 

[MaryClare]

Jordan Chiles is just one of those people who have an absolutely terrible taste in fashion

 

[Bob]

who do the bottom leos belong to? Could the white one be Skye?

 

[RedBirdie]

Top row is day 1, and then bottom row is day 2. L-R is Jade, Suni, Jordan, Simone.

 

[wishfulgoddess]

Why are leos all so busy these days? I get liking bright colors, rhinestones, mesh, strappy details, patterns, etc... but they keep cramming all of it into one leo. How long until they have ones that have batteries and LED lights?

 

[RedBirdie]

Please don't say such things. Now some NCAA team absolutely will show up with blinking LED lights embedded in their Leo next season.

 

[makam]

I want someone to compete in a vantablack or black 2.0 leo (okay, it probably can't be made...probably?) with no crystals. If a gymnast wants to stand out, they need to do away with all the bling and overwrought design bits. I'd also like to see the judges try judging someone in a vantablack unitard.

Man, I wish the gymnasts would realize less is more. Celebrity fashion trends to be over the top. It's why I can't get into the Met Gala even though I know it's for fundraising.

The replicas are mostly okay-ish.

I really knew something was wrong when Texas Dreams made ruching a thing. The more features a leotard has, the less I like it. I think the bling is inspired by the extremely bedazzled bodysuits that pop stars wear these days to sing in. It's ridiculous, and it's not because I'm offended by seeing skin. I see plenty of cute bikinis at the local pool. I just don't need to be blinded.

What year did she wear the Maryland flag leo? That was always my favorite; taking the most chaotic state flag and wearing it.

 

[RedBirdie]

Wait, Dawes wore a Maryland flag leo? How do I not remember this?!

And it's not chaotic, it's beautiful! (My husband hates it, and hates how absurdly obsessed Marylanders are about it. Yet has no problem with DC flag on all sorts of things, including tattoos)
