Men's olympic
A bit of history
An olympic jacket is a piece of outerwear that has long sleeves, a stand-up collar, and a zipper.
There are both women's and men's olympics. They differ among themselves in the features of tailoring, colors and decorating elements.
Olympia is made both from natural materials, such as cotton and wool, and from artificial ones. The t-shirt goes well with jeans, leggings, skirts and even casual wear.
The Olympic jacket first appeared in the 50s of the 20th century during the Olympic Games. Then she was part of the form of the USSR national team. After 30 years, fashion has returned. But then it was already not only a part of sportswear, but also everyday.
Peculiarities
Since olympics were originally made for athletes, the main thing in them is convenience and comfort. Olympias are made from different materials in which the athlete will be comfortable. The cut is performed in such a way that the olympic shirt sits well on the figure, and, at the same time, the athlete’s movements are not constrained.
How to choose
- The first thing you need to pay attention to is the size. There is usually a size on the label of an olympic shirt, so choosing the right size should not be a problem.
- Material. Both natural and synthetic materials are suitable for everyday use.But when choosing a model for sports, it is recommended to give preference to models made from natural fabrics.
- Figure type. When choosing an olympic shirt, the type of figure plays a big role. The Olympic jacket should mask small figure errors and focus on the merits.
Varieties
Hooded
The main feature in these models is, of course, the hood. The hood acts as a means of protection from wind and light rain, as well as a decorative element.
With a zipper
Olympias of this category have a zipper. Lightning is good because it is easy to use. In addition, the zipper protects well from the cool wind. Lightning usually comes in two types: metal and plastic. There is no significant difference between them. The choice of one or another lightning depends on your personal preferences.
Sports
Sports olympic jacket is designed for sports. Usually sports olympic shirts are made of cotton. Cotton is very comfortable to use: it passes air well, allowing the skin to breathe, and if it is slightly dirty, it is easily cleaned.
Warm
Warm sweatshirt designed for everyday wear in the cool season. Usually, sweatshirts are made from wool, knitwear and cotton, with the addition of synthetic materials. Most often they have a special insulating layer - a lining. Warm sweatshirts can be with or without a hood.
On the sleeves there are special cuffs that serve as additional protection from cold air.
Russia
The main feature and distinguishing feature of this model is a voluminous, embroidered inscription "Russia". The model most often has a straight cut, pockets, fleece lining, a stand-up collar and elastic on the cuffs and on the bottom of the sweatshirt. The olympic shirt is fastened with a lock.

No hood
A distinctive feature of this model is the absence of a hood. Instead of a hood, they have a small stand-up collar that protects the neck area from the wind. Some models do not even have a stand-up collar, instead they have a round neckline.
With pockets
Pockets on an olympic jacket can be on the sides, or they can be in front, close to each other. There are also models that have one continuous, oblong pocket, which creates the feeling that the hands are in the muff.
colors
Modern olympics are presented in a variety of colors.
Black
The most popular color for everyday olympics is black. Black olympic shirts are mostly in demand among men. Black color is universal. It suits almost everyone. Black is practical and easy to use.
Grey
The next color preferred by both men and women is grey. Gray sweatpants with identical color sweatpants, jeans and even skirts.
Red
Another trendy color for olympics is red. It is also popular with both women and men. You won't go unnoticed in this Olympian. Despite the fact that the color is quite bright, the sweatshirt is perfect for a casual look. You can also wear it for going to the cinema or a cafe, for walking with friends, and even for a romantic date, if it takes place in an informal setting.
White
Another classic color that is quite common among olympics lovers is white. White sweatshirts are more suitable for everyday wear.
For sports and outdoor activities, it is best to purchase a dark-colored olympic shirt, since any pollution is very clearly visible on white.
Blue
The next color that I would like to note is blue. Blue color is more common among male consumers. However, there are often girls in blue olympics.
By the way, the blue olympic shirts are part of the uniform of the Dynamo football team.
materials
Fleece
Today, the most common material from which olympic shirts are made is fleece. The fleece material stretches well, retains heat, and is ventilated. In addition, it is very light, which is important for sportswear. The only drawback of a fleece product is that it will stretch over time, that is, it will lose its original shape.
Knitwear
Knitted sweatshirts are very soft and pleasant to the touch. Unlike fleece, knitwear retains its appearance better. Knitwear has such a positive quality as wear resistance, which is very important for sportswear.
Wool.
Sweatshirts are also made from wool. Wool sweatshirt keeps you warm. This means that a wool sweatshirt is also suitable for wearing in the cold season.

I chose my Olympian according to the principle "for a garage and a summer residence." But not used, of course, not to such an extent. Just an ordinary good thing, which it would not be a pity to kill, but which will also serve me for a long time. In general, such things can be worn for almost 5 years, depending on who does it and how. I, in principle, neat, so it was possible to buy cheaper.
