Lunch Break: Couture Olympic Uniforms

Just two short weeks from today, the London Summer Olympics begin! *cue lots of jumping around and excitement from my corner* Among other things, this means designers of all sorts have emerged from the woodwork to debut their collections which they've created for the nations of their respected Olympic teams. Below are a few of my favorites and links to their collection details...

Designed by Cedella Marley (daughter of the infamous Bob Marley) for Puma, this collection is my favorite. Not only does it scream "resort/sportswear" - what is currently on trend - but it also has the most aesthetically pleasing color palette of all of the collections.

2) Germany

Adidas got an early start, revealing these uniforms in April. Again, this collection has an eye-catching color palette and great versatility. The jackets are easily dressed up or down!

3) South Korea

Fila is another company that was paying close attention to what is on trend when they decided to create South Korea's sailor-inspired uniforms. These offer a fresh and young look for each of the athletes attending the Opening Ceremonies. Even the men look great in these blazers!

4) New Zealand

This was another designer paying attention to the menswear. The black jackets piped in white are screaming with classiness. The print on the women's dresses is a bit vintage inspired. These are two looks that really go together. Though these are standard black and white, I think this group is going to stand out at Opening Ceremonies.

Visit Mental Floss for all of the featured nations and let me know your favorites! I'll be back very soon with some looks inspired by the 2012 Olympic Games.

Until next time!
