These outfits look OK.
Here’s the official information on the outfit:
Ralph Lauren, three time outfitter of the U.S. Olympic team, unveiled the uniforms athletes will don during the Opening Ceremony on July 27 in London.
Calling it an “updated take on old-world elegance,” David Lauren, son and executive vice president to Ralph Lauren, told the “Today” show the aim was to achieve a classic look that would look good on all athletes, from wrestlers to gymnasts.
The outfits consists of a white cotton sport shirt with a red and navy necktie under a double-breasted blazer for men, and a cream skirt with a white blouse under a red and navy scarf and a navy blazer for women. All athletes will also sport berets. More casual outfits were prepared for atheletes to wear within the Olympic Village.
I think it looks OK. It was inspired by the 1948 outfits worn to the Olympics in London. A part of me keeps thinking it’s French yet another part of me feels like they’re all stewardesses.
The jacket and tie look fine, but I feel that they just got off a yacht and are on their way to the annual polo festival.
What do you think of this outfit?
I am an avid dresser of Calvin Klein, Armani Exchange, Penquin, Ralph Lauren Polo, Puma, True Religion, Monaco Club, Saks 5th Ave, and Guess. I know all of their current lines of clothing. If I was ever a snob, I am a clothing adventurist. I think the Opening Ceremony outfits are fitting coming from Ralph Lauren, we can’t expect anything to surpass the fashion Polo offers. I was really impressed what they came up for the Olympics. My observation is, Polo concocted fashion mixing it with nationalism and that’s rare to see.
