Our Fav Olympians and Their Fav Shades
What are our celebrities wearing? We often ask. The answer to this question often determines our next course of action as far as fashion is concerned.
Today, our interest is drawn to the American Olympic athletes and their accessories. Athletics and eyewear accessories often go hand in hand. Exposed to the harmful rays of the sunlight and the glare from ice, they have to do whatever it takes to ensure that their eyes are protected and to blend in with the constantly changing fashions. Different athletes have different ways of making this happen;
Erin Jackson
Known for her strength, stamina and winning spirit, the speed skater has made the Oakley Flak sporting sunglasses her favorite pair while in action. She is a star in the making and has often been called “the future of U.S long-track speed skating.”
Shaun White
Whether on track or out in the streets, the three time Olympic gold medalist is always sure to leave an impression. He has specifically chosen and remained loyal to the Oakley Holbrook sunglasses. When not rocking the terrain park, these stylish sunnies should be a must have accessory to all gentlemen.
Lindsey Von
The sassy alpine ski racer is often spotted wearing a pair of Ray-Ban Aviator when representing U.S.A. The 33 year old is passionate about ski racing and protects her health through simple acts such putting on her sunnies
Alex Shibutani
Whether dacing in the ice with his sister Maia Shibutani or hanging out in popular joints, Alex Shibutani knows what it means to be fashionable. Te two time Olympic Bronze Medalist and three time world medalist doesn’t shy from expressing himself through his high class sense of fashion. Spotted in a stylish pair of Ray-Ban Cateye we can’t help but be in awe of the young gentleman. He might be making us proud in the world of sports, but he sure is making us prouder in the world of fashion.
Contrary to what many people may think, our sportsmen and women have an over-the -top sense of fashion making them some of the most fashionable people in the world of sports. It’s high time we gave their unique sense of fashion as much attention as it deserves.
