The classiest polo you can buy. They come in a rainbow of colors and should only be worn in places like greenwich, nantucket, the hamptons, and danbury
"Hey check out that kids polo, its Lacoste."

Contrary to popular belief, the Lacoste symbol is a crocodile, not an aligator, after Rene Lacoste's (old school tennis player) nickname, "The Croc"

Lacoste is a world renowned French luxury clothing line. They're famous for the very light and brightly colored Pique-Polo as well as sweaters and shoes. Lacoste is praised for its modern and trendy approach to the classic "prep style". Unfortunately, since it is a famous brand, all sorts of celebrities (mostly hip-hop stars which are ignorant) flaunt their money by buying clothing manufactured by Lacoste and sporting it in their videos. Not only does this insult the company that such ignorant, dirty and disgusting people who happen to have connections to a recording gig, but it insults the people who wear the brand with respect to their true style. Lacoste is usually associated with Ralph Laurens more classy and refined styles thus, these two brands go hand in hand to form the perfect preppy wardrobe. Abercrombie And Fitch just can not compete - it is far too fake and obnoxious.
Man: UGH! i hate how i see kanye west sing about 1000 women and crystal while he wears the layered Lacoste polos. He is mos-def not a prep

Other Man: i completely agree with you - these people have no respect for the brand. what low-lives

The kind of polo shirt that features and alligator on the breast. They are the ultimate shirt to wear to a fraternity party, to an emo concert, or to your video shoot.
You listen to Emo Music, you're a rapper, and I am in a fraternity, but at least we can agree on one thing: : LaCoste shirts rule!

A high quality polo shirt that was created in the 20's or 30's by the famous tennis player Rene Lacoste. His nickname was the crocidile so thats where the logo is from. These shirts retail for about $72-90 for a polo shirt. $50 for a t-shirt and about $150 for a sweater. If u get any lacoste items thats under 45 bucks...its most likely fake. They dont come in s,m,l,xl but they use the euro sizing 3,4,5,6,7

Many preps (well mannered intelligent people east coast) USED to wear lacoste but since it was released in to the materialistic world (eg. rappers and rich-snobby snobs who think there rich with thier escalades and big rims). Preps dont wear it as much.
Wigaar 1: yo lets buy dem pink lacoste polos.
Wiggar 2: yeahh...we gatta buy xxxl for dem booty ladies.

Real Prep: haha...they dont know what there talking about...

a very high end brand name for preppy clothing

my dad once had a lacoste shirt, but he didnt want to show everyone that he was preppy so he tried to cut the alligator out so no one would find out.
Turns out he left a big hole there and all night pple were asking, whats up with your shirt hahahaha
Lacoste is for people who want to look prep (unlike my dad)
