Wear the polo on the outside. Share Lacoste values on the inside#crocodileinside

Lacoste clothes set your spirit - and your movements - free: cool and creative, they assert effortless elegance. Fabrics are packable, essentials are chic and bright prints are ready to play. And tennis inspiration is redefined not just for this summer, but for those to come too. #Lacoste

Lacoste was born with a simple action. In 1933, tennis champion Rene Lacoste cut the sleeves off his shirt to gain ease of movement on the court. The polo came into being, the crocodile too. Behind the simplicity of the gesture is innovation. Ever since, Lacoste reinvents itself with easy collection. Between technical performance, minimal style and french elegance: silhouettes in perfect balance.

Love this polo shirt. I went with medium and the polo is a little loose around the stomach but not bad. Quality, color and fit around shoulder & chest is excellent. 6’ 190

In general good quality… it shrinks a bit after washing, but I don’t think it is due to Lacoste quality but rather the fact the high quality cotton will shrink, period. So order a size up. Or never put it into dryer. Like the polo but I think the Lacoste Paris polos series are more superior and better quality. Also, notice that those made in Paru instead elsewhere are quite better quality.
