The Olympics are well under way, and if there’s one thing the Opening Ceremonies taught us (besides that the Queen would make a great cameo in the next James Bond film), it’s that every country showed their Olympic pride through their super stylish uniforms. Even though many of us aren’t lucky enough to be spectators, we can certainly dress like one. In honor of the 2012 London Games, here are 12 festive pieces to show your Team USA spirit and medal-winning style.
