    It's not perfect, but I have seen tartans I like far less (as a kilt). With a nice shirt it might even look fine.
    Only problem is, that according to the article:
    Hundreds of Team Scotland athletes were in Stirling for the final Team Camp when the outfits were revealed.
    The men's uniform comprises a blue shirt while a flowing wrap-around dress has been designed for the women.

    A shawl-like wrap and stone-coloured leather bag complete the women's uniform, the latter worn diagonally across the front like one half of the St Andrew's Cross.
    they will only wear the shirt.

    Without a great dark tan, a turquoise/teal top makes you look sallow and sickly. I tried a shirt, like pictured on the guys, once in the Disco era and I looked near death.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    I'd probably do the same in their situation

    And of course Scots are known for their great tans.
