The Lacoste tipped polo shirt sets the standard as far as timeless clothing styles are concerned from the classic crocodile logo brand.
As far as subculture is concerned there aren't many clothing styles that can claim the same heritage as the tipped polo shirt. The Mods, the Skinheads, the Rude Boys &
the Casuals have all put their own unique spin on the classic tipped style whether it was worn with a pair of Dr. Martens and rolled up Levi's, a pair of Borg Elites and Lois Cords or underneath a M65 fish-tail parka. These associated looks & youth cultures have remained key to the polo shirt's ever growing popularity. One of probably a handful of quintessentially British styles, the tipped polo shirt will always bring back nostalgia of all-nighters, dance halls & scooter meets from Brighton to East Kilbride. As far as casual fashion goes, the polo shirt will always remain relevant regardless of current trends. A timeless clothing style that now arrives at 80s Casual Classics courtesy of Lacoste in the classic tipped form.

It was Ren_ Lacoste that first introduced the polo shirt to the tennis world in the early 1930s. Lacoste adopted the polo shirt to play in, as it allowed him increased movement on the court improving his performances. Little did he know that these tiny details would soon "snap" together to create one of the biggest fashion styles of the last 90 years. Nowadays we take the polo shirt for granted but at the time it was little details like the fact the pique cotton allowed extra breathability to the body & the fact you could wear the collar up to protect your neck from the sun.

The 1970s saw the crocodile logo adopted by Hollywood icons like Clint Eastwood & Steve McQueen adding a further element of cool to the French sportswear brand. It was arguably the Casuals in the late 1970s & early 1980s that really gave Lacoste the cult status it still holds today. The classic tipped style now arrives at 80s Casual Classics courtesy of the French sportswear brand. Featuring the iconic polo shirt silhouette in Lacoste's signature pique cotton fabric with a two button placket it doesn't really get much more classic.
