Scarves & Socks

Olympic fashion: from gold to gaudy

The red mittens are back! And so those 17 people in Lethbridge who didn’t manage to snag a pair the first time around can rejoice.

Given the mercurial London weather, the simple waterproof red windbreaker with a hood will be every athlete’s most essential piece next summer (and for the rest of us, a compact and useful packable piece with a hood is good for hiking, the cottage and summer travel.) Ditto a simple red henley, albeit adorned with patches (more on which, later).

The colours are strong and simple: maple leaf red, northern white and black, along with a dark, deep evergreen. Ear-covering toques are on-trend (there’s a bit of traditional Nordic motif about them in a band around the crown) and it would not be embarrassing to wear these this winter, even with the big “Canada” label shouting out from the forehead.

The otherwise “meh” all-caps font looks its best knit into the simple striped intarsia scarf. Perhaps the designers have been boning up on retro-prep and books such as Take Ivy, because it has a whiff of the collegiate and private school pride about it, like the varsity scarves trend of last year. It’s still a bit overwrought with the decals and patches but nonetheless looks good for essentially being a wearable Canadian flag.
