This year’s U.S. Olympians and Paralympians will wear jeans and moto jackets by Ralph Lauren during this year’s opening and closing ceremonies in Paris.

The opening ceremony outfits feature jeans paired with a navy blue, wool, double-breasted blazer trimmed in white and red, with the Ralph Lauren logo featured in the left chest area. Underneath, athletes will sport a navy-and-white-striped oxford shirt, the brand announced Tuesday.

The closing ceremony look includes a white moto-style jacket with red, white and blue detailing, accompanied with white jeans.

“Ralph Lauren is profoundly honored to define the look of the American delegation as they represent our country in one of the world’s most celebrated and storied events,” said David Lauren, Ralph Lauren’s son and the corporation’s chief branding and innovation officer.

1. I don't like the carnival barker dress coat and jeans.

The red and white border downgrades the look. Everything else is fine.

7. I'd wear any of those outfits.

And Moto jackets are nice looking.

8. Oh, Ralph, you can do so much better.

I hate these stiff, tight jackets. They don't do anything for the wearer and they also look uncomfortable, and cheap, as if they were skimping on material.
