About Lacoste Clothing – Polo Shirts, Jackets & Sportswear

The Iconic Lacoste Polo Shirt

The core of our collection is the Lacoste polo shirt. Invented by René Lacoste, this garment revolutionised sportswear. We stock the signature L.12.12 Original model, crafted from distinct Petit Piqué cotton. This unique fabric knitting technique offers exceptional breathability and durability, making it superior to standard jersey cotton for summer wear.

Our range includes various fits to suit your preference:

  • Classic Fit (L.12.12): A traditional cut with relaxed room through the chest and waist.
  • Slim Fit: A tailored silhouette that sits closer to the body for a modern look.
  • Regular Fit: The perfect middle ground for everyday comfort.

Jackets and Layering

While famous for its polo, Lacoste excels in outerwear. Our selection features water-repellent packable jackets and padded coats designed for the variable British weather. We stock technical pieces like the Paris Piqué track jackets and versatile overshirts that pair perfectly with a crisp white tee.

Materials and Sustainability

Quality fabrics are paramount. Beyond the classic Piqué cotton, we stock items made from soft Pima cotton for superior comfort against the skin. Lacoste is also moving towards responsible production, with many items now featuring organic cotton and recycled polyester, ensuring your clothing choices support better environmental practices.

Heritage Sportswear & Everyday Utility

Lacoste successfully bridged the gap between functional sports gear and smart-casual dressing. Originally developed for the tennis court, the brand’s signature Petit Piqué cotton is designed to offer breathability and freedom of movement, making it ideal for active days or relaxed weekends. Unlike standard jersey fabrics, this textured weave allows air to circulate, keeping you cool.

The durability of these garments is a key factor in their popularity. When cared for correctly, a Lacoste polo maintains its shape and colour vibrancy for years. Whether you prefer the looser cut of the Classic Fit or the sharper silhouette of the Slim Fit, these pieces pair effortlessly with our mens trousers range or denim for a polished look. For cooler days, layer them under one of our premium sweatshirts or hoodies to maintain warmth without sacrificing style.

As an official UK stockist, we ensure every item—from the iconic crocodile-branded tees to the technical outerwear—is 100% authentic. We stock the latest seasonal colourways alongside the staple white, navy, and black options that form the foundation of any solid rotation.

Lacoste FAQs

Lacoste sizing depends on the specific cut. The 'Classic Fit' (L.12.12) offers a relaxed, comfortable cut through the chest and waist. The 'Slim Fit' is tighter and tailored closer to the body; we often recommend sizing up in Slim Fit if you prefer more room. The 'Regular Fit' provides a standard middle ground suitable for most body types.

Petit Piqué is the signature textured cotton fabric invented by René Lacoste. It features a unique honeycomb-like knit that allows air to circulate freely. This makes the fabric breathable, lightweight, and resistant to creasing, which is why it remains the standard for their premium polo shirts.

To maintain the quality of Piqué cotton, wash your polo shirt inside out at 30°C. Avoid tumble drying, as the heat can shrink the cotton mesh. Instead, reshape the garment while damp and hang it to air dry. Iron on a medium setting if necessary.
