- Team USA snowboarder Tessa Maud says she's wearing her Olympic Skims haul "non-stop."
- Athletes from the US have also been given uniform options by brands like Ralph Lauren and Nike.
- She loves team USA's style, but says Canada and China fashion slayed at the opening ceremony.
Team USA snowboarder Tessa Maud said when it comes to fashion at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, there are two teams who outdid themselves: China and Canada.
18-year-old Maud, who competed in her very first Olympic Games this year, told Insider that fashion at the international competition has been a highlight of her experience, and she was especially excited about the loungewear designed for athletes by Kim Kardashian West's shapewear line, Skims.
"When I saw the Summer Olympics had Skims, I was freaking out," she said. "When I heard that we were getting some as well, I was so excited and I really love a lot of this stuff," she said. "I would definitely buy a lot of it."
The Olympian, who didn't qualify to move forward in the competition on Wednesday but said she'll be better prepared to come back in four years, showed off her Skims haul in a TikTok posted on January 31. At the time of writing, the video has amassed over 4 million views.
Items that Maud shows from the collection, which came in specially-designed Skims duffel bags, include robes, underwear, mini-tanks, and fuzzy sweatpants emblazoned with the USA flag and Olympic ring symbol.
"I'm wearing everything nonstop," she told Insider. "I wore the fuzzy pants on the plane, so I haven't washed them yet, so I haven't been wearing those, but I think I'll probably wear them on the plane home. I'm gonna have to go do some laundry soon."
Though she was generally pleased with the haul, one item she said she wasn't overly keen to try was the tank dress. "That's the only thing I haven't worn yet," she said. "I don't know how to wear that? Like I guess I could just wear it to bed, but I'm not a big, tight-fit clothing person except if it's like a t-shirt or tank top. So I don't know how I feel about that."
Other brands that designed uniforms for Team USA include Nike and Ralph Lauren, who was behind the outfits worn for the Olympic opening ceremony on February 4. Nike pieces, she said, are "more wearable" outside the games whereas the patriotic Ralph Lauren items were more suited "for the Olympics."
Speaking of the opening ceremony fashion, Maud said there were two teams who stood out to her in particular. "I'd say the two biggest standouts are definitely China and the Canadians because the Canadians have Lululemon," she said. "Most of their stuff is really great."
"The Chinese team has the most amazing clothes," she added. "Their opening ceremonies outfits were so high fashion and cool, like with big coats and puffy bucket hats. I was like, 'Wow, this is amazing.'"
According to Forbes, Academy Award-winning costume designer Tim Yip is involved with designing outfits for the national team, and China's uniforms for the 2022 Winter Olympics have been manufactured by sports brand Anta.
