We're officially under 100 days out from the 2024 Olympics, where the world's most acclaimed athletes will descend on The City of Lights and compete for their chance to win gold. Whether you’re a fan of sport or not, there’s no denying that the Olympics has been a prestigious event, ever since its beginnings back in 1896.
Team Canada is donning head-to-toe Lululemon, France is set to stun in Berluti and Team Great Britain has called upon sportswear giant Adidas once again to create a custom kit that is as chic as it is functional.
We can’t wait to see what other enviably cool team uniforms are set to take the French capital later this year, and to whet our appetites, we've taken a look back through the archive to see what stylish statements medal winners wore back in the day.
