Ralph Lauren Debuts Team USA’s Milano Cortina 2026 Uniforms

At the crossroads of sport, heritage and couture, Ralph Lauren ushers in a new era of Olympic elegance for Milano‑Cortina 2026.

Ralph Lauren Returns: A Decade‑Long Olympic Legacy Meets Milano Cortina 2026

For nearly twenty years, Ralph Lauren has dressed the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams. On December 4, 2025, the house unveiled the official uniforms for the 2026 Winter Games in Milano‑Cortina. The announcement marks its 10th consecutive Games outfitting for Team USA — a milestone of trust and design excellence.

“We sought to honor the city’s creative spirit while staying true to the enduring style that defines Ralph Lauren.”

With Milan — a global fashion capital — as the backdrop, these uniforms embody a confluence of heritage, national pride and modern elegance.

The Uniforms: Opening Ceremony & Closing Ceremony Looks

The unveiled uniforms present two distinct yet harmonised narratives — ceremonial elegance and athletic‑inspired modernity.

Opening Ceremony:

• Winter‑white wool coat with heritage‑inspired wooden toggles.
• American‑flag intarsia wool turtleneck sweater.
• Tailored wool trousers.

Closing Ceremony:

• Sporty, colour‑blocked puffer jacket inspired by vintage ski racing kits.
• Patriotic wool turtleneck sweater paired with crisp white utility pants.
• Finishing touches: red‑white‑blue intarsia knit hat and mittens, leather belt, brown suede alpine boots with red laces — all made in the United States.

More Than Uniforms: Team USA Collection For All

Beyond the athletes’ official looks, Ralph Lauren launches a full Team USA Collection — offering men’s, women’s and children’s apparel and accessories that channel the same Olympic‑inspired aesthetic: statement outerwear, refined knitwear, puffers and heritage‑inspired silhouettes.

This move echoes a broader current within luxury labels: the intersection of sport, heritage and high fashion. For example, Moncler has returned to the Olympic stage for Milano‑Cortina 2026, and Omega has unveiled a special Milano‑Cortina timepiece — both blending performance, national pride and luxury craftsmanship.

Why It Matters: The Convergence of Nationhood, Sport & Couture

As luxury fashion evolves, the boundaries between couture, sportswear, and national symbolism blur. The Milano‑Cortina 2026 uniforms highlight this shift — where Olympic apparel becomes a statement of identity, heritage, and refined taste.

This moment is more than a uniform release: it signals a new canvas for luxury houses — where Olympic pageantry meets couture. For connoisseurs of luxury culture and design, this development resonates profoundly.

“Ralph Lauren doesn’t just dress athletes: it clothes dreams.”

As winter descends and the world's attention turns to the Alps, a new chapter begins — where the Olympic flame is sewn into the very fibres of couture.
