It's one of those things that's not as easy as one might think - plain jerseys are usually not warm enough and not very flattering, women-sized team wear is pricey, and a lot of coats are too heavy for indoors. Plus the footwear requirements and the eternal 'do you carry a purse' dilemma. </p> <p>I really like the Canada stuff posted at the top of the thread - from the sneak peeks I've seen, the official US gear from Ralph Lauren is U.G.L.Y. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148692 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:32:29 +0000 Freckles 1148692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Glory I have an arena (i.e. hockey) capsule..so I totally understand. &nbsp;<br />I guess it depends if you would feel uncomfortable in putting your olympic item in heavy rotation in your day to day life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148668 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:01:15 +0000 LACeleste 1148668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Viva! &nbsp;Ralph--what were you thinking?</p> <p>I like the red jacket Glory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148665 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:58:28 +0000 Glory 1148665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles - too funny about hockey related gear and hoodies. I was just thinking I need one to wear to games etc. I spend more than 50% of my free time on hockey related events.&nbsp;<br />Emily - The plaid hoodie sounds great. I agree the beaver and the bear are both very cute. I do like the vintage style jacket but it seems pricey for something I might not wear often at $95.<br />I wonder if it is like when you are at Disney and get caught up in the thrill and end up with disney printed clothing you won't wear at home </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148484 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:14:02 +0000 Emily 1148484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the beaver tee! &nbsp;I've been eyeing it since it appeared. &nbsp;I bought a plaid Canada hoodie from their last round of Olympic apparel and have been happily wearing it since. &nbsp;I don't think your judgement is&nbsp;clouded - I'd say these are just fine for casual wear whenever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148475 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:08:07 +0000 Freckles 1148475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always love the Italian outfits as they are usually super stylish. &nbsp;Not sure about making a piece part of your wardrobe, I think it depends on where you would be wearing it. &nbsp;T-shirt would be really practical in my eye for gear or chore related events after the two weeks are up but not sure about the others. &nbsp;I always find the scarves a cheap throw away alternative if you are worrying about incorporating them for everyday wear.<br />All my hoodies are hockey related gear and I was wishing this last year that I just had one that was more subtle... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148395 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:10:59 +0000 Glory 1148395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Bay. some things are already sold out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148386 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:06:56 +0000 Anonymous 1148386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is Roots or Hudson's Bay doing ours again? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148365 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:47:48 +0000 viva 1148365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was a great article in the NYTimes this morning about the USA team wear, and I had to agree with the Canadian reporter who chastised the (once again!) OTT American designer Ralph Lauren and his Christmas sweater (LOL). I have to side with the Canadians on this one; I really prefer the more streamlined and athletic styling of their team wear.</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/lhpr5mn" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/lhpr5mn</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148364 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:45:03 +0000 El Cee 1148364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not usually a fan of "branded" wear… but I find the first jacket appealing. It has a bold, graphic feel to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-wear#post-1148358 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:36:12 +0000 Glory 1148358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the upcoming winter Olympics I find myself drawn towards branded clothing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here are some pictures of a few that have caught my eye.<br />I am wondering whether my head is clouded or can one make it look somewhat ok and have some staying power beyond the 2 weeks?</p>
