Continuing their partnership with Ralph Lauren, the official outfitter of Team USA since 2008, this year’s U.S athletes will make their entrance at the opening ceremony on July 26 in matching ensembles designed by the legacy American brand, consisting of double-breasted blazers, pin-striped button-ups and lightwash denim jeans — all available to shop on Ralph Lauren’s website.
