    village-wear, n.

    The Guardian, 27 April 2016:

    How much do aesthetics matter to an Olympic team? “Well, they matter a huge amount to the athletes themselves,” says McCartney. “Athletes dedicate their entire lives to their bodies. Their bodies are literally their temples. So of course they are proud of them and want to celebrate them. And if it’s important to them, then it matters, right?” This means delivering a perfect silhouette – “for instance, the women’s podium jackets are belted this time around; and I’ll put extra ribbing for shape” and a high style level in the more casual ‘village-wear’. Women’s sweatshirts come cropped to the waist, in keeping with current athleisure trends. Grey marl jersey – a timeless classic of sportswear-meets- weekend-casual – features in racer-back cool-down vests and hoodies with red drawstrings.
