LaCoste Effect

(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.

The LaCoste Effect increases as the frequency of non-white Abercombie- wearers increase.

lacoste

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.

Friend: WHOA! She's wearing a Lacoste...
Me: Ugh, the collar's popped.
Friend: Isn't that what you're supposed to - ?
Me: NO! IT'S TACKY, BITCH!

lacoste

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"
