This Is What USA's Olympic Athletes Will Wear at the Opening Ceremony

From Good Housekeeping

With the 2018 Winter Olympics countdown closing in, Team USA is packing up for the games in PyeongChang, and their official looks appear competition-ready. Two iconic American brands - Ralph Lauren and Nike - have already revealed their carefully prepared designs, and it goes without saying that the athletes will receive some serious swag.

Here's what we know about their wardrobes so far:

Opening Ceremony Outfits

Ralph Lauren just revealed the ensembles for the big kick-off, and of course they're red, white, and blue. To stay toasty in the anticipated brutal cold, competitors will wear both parkas and bomber jackets, each outfitted with heating systems that last up to 11 hours.

The built-in warmers work via electronic-printed conductive inks that connect to a battery pack with three adjustable settings. Athletes will also wear slim jeans, wool sweaters and hats, navy bandanas, and suede gloves and boots.

Medal Ceremonies

Team USA should spend plenty of time on the medal podiums in PyeongChang - and they'll stay stylish (and toasty) doing it. Nike just unveiled its official medal stand collection for the American athletes, and it's all about staying warm.

This year's ceremonies (with the exception of ice hockey) will all take place outside in below-freezing temps, so insulation was key. Both male and female competitors will wear the Team USA Hypershield Summit Jacket, a white waterproof shell with knit hand warmers, and a removable bomber jacket underneath.

Equipped with plenty of pockets, the water-repellent pants feature an ankle zip that shows the letters USA when open. The lace-free boots differ a bit for the men and women (the female version is taller), but everyone will get a pair of Medal Stand Gloves. The fingers on these mitts are touch-screen compatible, meaning there will be no shortage of Olympic selfies.

You don't have to be a skiing pro to get the gear though. All of the components will be available for purchase at nike.com and select retailers starting January 15.

Closing Ceremony Outfits

Ralph Lauren looked to "authentic all-American style, infused with a modern sensibility" when creating the final set of patriotic looks. Athletes will finish out the games wearing a vintage-ski-inspired sweater, a white down jacket, and navy track pants. There's no shortage of accessories either: knit gloves and a matching ski hat, an American flag bandana, and suede mountaineering boots with red laces.

While these specific outfits aren't up for grabs, the Polo Ralph Lauren Team USA Collection is available on ralphlauren.com and teamusashop.com as well as select Ralph Lauren and Polo Ralph Lauren retail stores. Don't worry - it includes an equally adorable pair of mittens that you can wear to cheer on Team USA.
