A clothing brand worn by upper-middle class "preps" who know fashion when they see it. Cannot be worn by just anyone, at $70 for the pique polo. Originated by Rene Lacoste. The crocodile was actually an idea he got when he received a crocodile-skin handbag after winning a tennis match.

Get the lacoste mug.Algerian word that refers to "gangsters" (and nit black ppl) ...they wear Lacoste sport tracksuits with Tn (Nike) all the time, or Sergio Tacchini suits as an alternative. They drive on "New" rai music -which is worse than trash actually- most of the times, but lately they came up with a new shitty trend, which is Djalil Palermo music..anyways, they suck.And also, everybody hates them as much as we hate boomers.

Get the Lacoste Niggas mug.A preppy, French clothing brand that is well-known for their polo shirts. Their logo has a crocodile on the left side of the breast. They make $72 polo shirts that fit comfortably and are very styling. Lacoste polos come in a wide variety of colors. They look good on almost anyone. I personally think they look really cute on girls.

Get the Lacoste mug.Lacoste is the perfection of the polo shirt. Lacoste started in 1933 and designed by Rene lacoste, who was looking for a lightwieght breathable feel while playing tennis. A few years later lacoste moved to that states and started mass prodcution world wide. Each lacoste shirt is individual, each shirt has 15.5 miles of super fine cotton. The first step of each shirt starts in the cotton field. Only the worlds strongest and most flexable cottons are chosen and used in the shirts. The polo's go through rigerous testing, and each have there own dying tank, and the dying process can take up to 13 hours, of perfectionlly dying each shirt, as to elminate any color fading, so each shirt you get has a rich, vibrant color.

Get the lacoste mug.(2004) Synonym with white flight. Literally, an unorganized movement of white 16-22 year olds away from the old Abercrombie staple to once again, recapture a sense of patrician exclusivity characteristic of many American whites.

Get the LaCoste Effect mug.The preppiest kind of collared shirt around, with a crocodile on the left side, retailing for about $72. And if you got it for less than $72, it's a fake.
Note: It's tacky to pop the collar on a Lacoste. A polo, definitely, but not a Lacoste. It's simply putting emphasis on the fact that you paid 72 bucks for it.
