It's not easy looking good when you're sweating up a storm. Just ask Olympic athletes. Not that fashion's the point. Still, it's always interesting to spot champions who manage to exhibit not just grace under pressure but style, too.
It's not enough to watch these athletes. We want to look like them. And feel, in some small way, like we're part of the team. This year we can - thanks to designers like Ralph Lauren, who've created gear for athletes in Beijing, plus versions for us weekend warriors back home. Here are some of the best.Lauren's looks
U.S. athletes hit the Beijing stadium Friday in tailored classics from Polo Ralph Lauren, an official outfitter of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team. Fans here can join in wearing knit sweater vests, track jackets, hoodies and an array of crisp polos decorated with flag patches (USA, Great Britain, Italy), racing stripes or - our favorite - Chinese lettering (it says "Beijing"). Available in adult and children's sizes at Polo Ralph Lauren, East Hampton and Manhattan, and ralphlauren.com.
Winning looks from Polo Ralph Lauren'’s Olympic Games Collection include Deontay Wilder, of the U.S. Boxing team, in a USA 08 polo with large Team USA logo on back, $125; archery hopeful Joy Fahrenkrog, in the Blue Label Olympic Games Character polo, $125; track and field hopeful Brianna Glenn, in Blue Label Olympic Games track jacket, $145; and Giuseppe Lanzone, of U.S. Rowing, in the Olympic Games polo, $125; men'’s shorts; ribbon belts, $55.
