Arena Wear



"The material in the jacket is designed to reflect body heat. Expect some cool nights."

- Cinna The arena wear was the clothing worn by the tributes during their time in the arena. They were new and were the same for each tribute. The stylists had no say in the tributes' uniforms. Tributes could also have a token as a piece of their home, as long as it didn't give them an unfair advantage in the arena.

74th Hunger Games
For the 74th Hunger Games, the clothing worn was tawny trousers, a light green shirt, sturdy brown belt, and a thin-hooded black jacket that fell down to the thighs. The outfit included boots, which were worn over skin-tight socks. The boots were made of soft leather and had a narrow, flexible rubber sole.

75th Hunger Games
For the 75th Hunger Games, the outfits were fitted blue jumpsuits made of sheer material that was half-an-inch thick with zippers down the front. Each suit came with a padded belt covered in black plastic which was filled with a purple liquid that could be used as a flotation device. The shoes were nylon with rubber soles.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
The uniforms are slightly different from the book description. Every tribute wore the same outfit: a black wetsuit with white sleeves. The use of black, white and grey are supposed to represent a mockingjay. The outfit doesn't come with the padded belt, and they wore black boots.
