Best (and worst) of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

_{Written by Kirk, Saturday, August 9th, 2008 in Doing it Right, Fashion}

People all over the world are watching the Olympic Games in China- so it stands to reason that we are too, and as the little fashion gurus we are/want to be, we’re always looking for good and bad trends. So, hot off the presses from last night, here’s a list of the best- and worst- fashions seen at the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

Sure, it's a little overbearing, but it's great- the hats are a little ridiculous, but overall, it's nice and stylish, and very eye-catching. Not exactly "fashion" for the everyday, but again... it's the Olympics.

   Actually orange is a sporting colour of the Netherlands.

   I must note, orange is the Netherlands’ national color. It’s just not included in the flag.

   I never knew gradients looked that awful…

   The color of the royal family of the Netherlands.

   Spain looks like a McDonald’s ad.

   I find the collar of the intermission ladies dresses a bit overdone.
   I agree on the over-colouring of certain teams, but some (most) are their country’s colours, so it is understandable.

   Gosh, you mean there was more than one of those sign-carrying ladies in red? It looked like the same one over and over again.

   actually, gradients are hugely popular right now, both in activewear and high fashion. i love the jackets the australians are wearing.

   Ughh, I said the exact same thing about the Canadian team. It’s absolutely ridiculous how bad we looked, honestly.

    i love Turkey’s outfits. thank God they didn’t decide to do the inverse (red suit, white tie)
    also India’s outfits are good but they all look like they’re a few head dresses short of a mega-shadi.
    i love Japan’s … those are cute.
    And USA… no good. They all look like they’re going golfing.

    YOU FORGOT SWEDEN YOU BASTARD
    Or maybe they didn’t march?
