When Florence Griffith Joyner, also known as Flo-Jo, took the track, you were watching not only for what was sure to be a dominant performance but also for her style choices. From her long, colorful nails to her makeup and hair, the three-time Olympic gold medalist was truly a trendsetter. But aside from her beauty moves, Flo-Jo was known for her track suits. From one-legged ensembles sure to showcase a muscular thigh to pieces made out of lace and in bold colors, she never bored when she was competing (unless she had to wear a standard track uniform, which she did from time to time — including at the Seoul Olympics). The one-legged look, in particular, ended up becoming her signature, but according to Flo-Jo, all of her suits helped her excel on the track. As she once said, “Dress good to look good. Look good to feel good. And feel good to run fast!”
