Olympic Fashion - Not Feeling "It."

The Husband and I tucked into a meal of Chinoise food while watching the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics. It wasn't until we were halfway through the meal I realized we were watching Beijing and eating Chinese food. We found it delightful.

But you wanna know what I didn't find "delightful"?

Team USA's Opening Ceremony uniforms...



I am not loving the "dapper-sailing" outfit courtesy of Ralph Lauren. Why? Oh gee... Where to begin...

• The white newsboy cap does not flatter most people.
• Where's the eff-ing red? Navy blue and white??? Those are not America's colors!
• White pants? Not flattering on most people. Even super skinny athletic people.
• And, the piece-de-resistance... The blazer! And it looks horribly made!
  

I don't know about you... But I think it looks tacky. I'm cool with the Olympic logo on one side...



But the Ralph Lauren Polo logo on the other side? And notice it's on a visible pocket? It's too huge. And it's just plain tacky.

Many countries' delegations wore Fedora-style rimmed hats though...

They were seen on the French team...



The team from Spain...



The Russian team...



And even Kazakhstan...



I like the Fedora-esque look. (But not the rest of most of the outfits.)
