With the 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in the books, here's a look at some of the best and worst uniforms spotted during the parade of nations, which featured 92 countries, including the United States, Canada, France, Australia, Mexico and more.
Tonga
Nope. Your eyes aren't deceiving you. The most popular athlete at the most recent summer games, qualified for these Winter Olympics. Hard to focus on any uniforms when he's walking around shirtless in freezing temperatures. Kudos.
Mexico
The sombrero is eye-catching, but check out the bottom of the shoes, too.
United States
Very, very interesting gloves.
Spain
When can we get fitted for ours?
Bermuda
Did you expect anything less than shorts?
Germany
Not the color combination we're accustomed to seeing.
Canada
The Canadians never disappoint.
Jamaica
Ja maka me crazy. And we can't wait for the country's women's bobsled team to become a crowd favorite.
Brazil
Could do without the patch on the left pockets, but otherwise not bad.
Britian
Depending on one's mood, the hat be rotated to feature the catchy Team GB logo, the Adidas emblem or the flag.
Madagascar
A missed opportunity. These leave a lot to be desired.
Belgium
Well, they don't make us think of waffles. So there's that.
Colombia
Nice hats and top layer over the jackets.
Australia
If we're being completely honest, these don't blow us away.
Finland
Hands down, one of the top five most-interesting ones we've seen so far.
Nigeria
Royalty is the first word that comes to mind. Nicely done.
Olympic Athletes from Russia
Because of sanctions, they weren't allowed to march in under the own flag.
Morocco
Love how the top of the jacket covers the entire neck and there appear to be hoods, too. Solid
Japan
Maybe the most comfortable looking gloves and boots we've seen.
South Africa
Not the best; not the worst.
Greece
When you're always the first country to enter the house, you don't necessarily have to grab attention via a fashion statement.
Portugal
Ok. We're gonna have to use Bing to learn more about the intricate details on those sleeves.
Slovenia
For those few countries rocking the green, these stand out.
China
Nice subtle touch with the Olympic rings on the jacket.
Romania
Nothing to write home about, but not terrible.
France
Even if you're not French, you gotta want to buy these.
San Marino
So the pants don't do much for us, but we love the jackets.
Bulgaria
Nice job weaving in the colors.
Unified North Korea
They're hosting the party. No complaints here.
Serbia
First ones we've spotted with the country name on the pants.
Belarus
The scarf is a nice touch
Timor-Leste
The baseball caps are gonna look a lot better once some Olympic pins get added to them.
Sweden
The flag bearer's jacket reminds us a little of the disco era. Nice to see a bubble jacket variety among the blue and black tops.
Norway
At first glance, we thought they were sporting beanies.
Ghana
The side stiching gets lost when one's arms aren't extended. Both the flag and the country name on the hat might be a little too much.
Iran
Love her gloves. Do those jackets have buttons, zippers or snaps?
Kosovo
Meh.
Turkey
Sleek.
Macedonia
The black stripe down the side of the legs is in keeping with the main zipper and the ones on the pockets.
Iceland
These don't leave us speechless. They get the job done.
Netherlands
No one rocks Orange better than the Netherlands.
Hungary
When we see gray pants we think sweat pants.
Kyrgyzstan
We almost missed the nice head gear she's wearing in the back right because we were so busy studying what the men are wearing.
Togo
We count a combination of five patches/lettering, not including the head gear.
Switzerland
We don't hate them.
Moldova
You don't see gloves that color every day. Nice touch with the red inner lining.
Austria
Given a choice, we'd pick the white beanies over the gray ones.
New Zealand
Men in black.
Azerbaijan
Men in Black 2.
Cyprus
Don't take this the wrong way, but we look at those colors and instantly think of Shamu.
Bolivia
Nice to see the Eagle on both the jacket and the hat.
Israel

Puerto Rico

We can't tell what kind of fur is lining the hoods.
