The most interesting outfits on the slopes at the Winter Olympics will definitely belong to Mexico’s skiers.
Mexico’s ski outfits at the Olympics are black suits with skulls all over them:

The suits look like they were something designed by Ed Hardy, but it’s an Olympian who designed them.
Hubertus Von Hohenlohe, a six-time Olympic skier for Mexico, designed the outfits using an inspiration from Dia de los Muertos, a holiday celebrated in the country. In past Olympiads, Von Hohenlohe wore a ski suit that resembled a mariachi band uniform and one that made him look like a desperado.
