Polo Ralph Lauren Goes Heavy On White For U.S. Olympics Team Closing Ceremony Outfits

The Polo Ralph Lauren outfits that members of the U.S. Olympics team will wear during the London Games Closing Ceremony were unveiled this morning, and team members will be “decked out in all white,” according to the AP. Women will wear a “white blouse and a knee-length white skirt with a silk belt in red, white and navy and matching silk scarf tied at the neck.” Men will have a “white cotton sport shirt and white trousers, also with a red, white and navy striped silk belt” (AP, 4/18). The outfits were modeled on NBC's "Today" this morning by taekwondo fighters Diana and Steven Lopez. NBC's Al Roker said the “crisp white blouse” worn by Diana Lopez featured the USOC crest and a “bigger pony.” Meanwhile, swimmer Rebecca Soni, gymnast Aly Raisman, water polo player Tony Azevedo and decathlete Bryan Clay modeled the USOC “village wear.” NBC's Savannah Guthrie noted, “They’re customizable so you ... can put your name on them, you can really personalize them” ("Today," NBC, 4/18).
