After Instagram users saw Mongolia’s uniform, there was a huge flood of praise that took over the internet. It reached the extent where someone commented, “Absolutely stunning. Team Mongolia gets the gold for the most incredible uniforms.”
What does Mongolian Olympic uniform depict?
Mongolia’s uniform is a tribute to Mongolian culture, inspired by the traditional Mongolian deel, a calf-length tunic. The ivory ensemble features cuffed, billowing sleeves, a pleated skirt, and an embroidered vest, offset by pops of color in the collar, cuffs, and vest. It also includes a mythical deer from traditional folklore. According to Michel & Amazonka, the fashion designers, each individual uniform took dozens of hours to make, which isn’t surprising given the intricate level of detail.
