![]() | Opening ceremony: Britain Takes Gold | BuyWe've long maintained that it's impossible to look stylish in a puffy parka, and what better opportunity to test the theory than an Olympic opening ceremony in the middle of a Canadian winter. Over 80 countries marched in various uniforms, and sure enough, none of the dozens of stuffed-pillow looks were at all appealing.
