The classic crewneck sweatshirt from Lacoste arrives in a selection of fresh new colourways that will most certainly brighten up your wardrobe with some Continental charm.
No matter what time of year it is, it's never really a bad time for a bit of Lacoste. From the colourful polo shirts of the inner city Banlieues of Mathieu Kassovitz's 'La Haine' from 1995 to Nick Love's 'Goodbye Charlie Bright' from 2001, we all have a bit of a soft spot for the classic crocodile. There's just something about the embroidered green croc that adds a certain 'je ne sais quoi' to any outfit. Worn by everyone from public school boys to pugnacious Casuals, Lacoste's world renowned heritage spans all the way from the tennis courts of the major Grand Slams to the terraces of the North West of England. This latest Lacoste crewneck sweatshirt is a testament to the brand's never ending longevity and now arrives at 80s Casual Classics in some popping pastel colourways.

You might have seen the latest Australian Open final with Novak Djokovic kitted out head to toe in Lacoste. He even has his own tailor made collection. 98 years since Ren_ Lacoste won his very first Wimbledon title and the crocodile is still the king of the court. However, before the $9.4 million annual endorsement deal with the Serbian superstar and current World no.1, Lacoste had already cemented their crocodile on the streets of the UK & Europe. The 1980s saw the Casuals with their colourful & Continental sportswear take over the traditional Dr Martens & Donkey jackets of the terraces. If you went to any French town or city back in the mid 90s you probably saw just about every teenager wearing a Lacoste tracksuit, hence the wardrobe inspiration for La Haine from 1995.
