User post: Polo + Olympics = Well Dressed Athletes
Get ready for the gold, silver and bronze, hopefully won by the red white and blue! The Olympics are coming!
Ralph Lauren has dressed the US Olympic athletes for the Opening Ceremony! Talk about true American spirit. Take a look! Designers don't get much more red,white, and blue than POLO!!
"Inspired by designs worn during the 1932 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, these outfits are so American they basically play Bruce Springsteen songs." (Yahoo!)
"Down jackets, turtlenecks, knit caps, and the ubiquitous slim-leg trousers make up the kits that will be worn by every athlete from the lithe Tanith Belbin to the decidedly un-lithe John Shuster. I'm guessing the pants will look better on some people than others, but in general, the traditional look is really nice.
Belbin is excited to wear the gear, telling USA Today, "It's great to have such an interestingly designed collection. I know that's something that all the winter athletes were jealous of when we saw the Beijing Games. We wanted to stand out and look really well put together." Easy for her to say. She'd look good in anything." (Yahoo!)
"There's a lot more than just the Opening Ceremony outfits though. Ralph Lauren has produced an entire line of clothing that the competitors will be wearing around Vancouver. Shawl-collar cardigans, hooded sweatshirts, and down vests make up the collection." (Yahoo!)
If you wanna dress like the atheltes, it's all available online. (but it ain't cheap!) I like this clean cut look and love that its all designed by classic designer Ralph Lauren!
