Discover Lacoste’s Cool New Fashion-Sport Collection
The French label puts elegance into action with a directional new collection that balances style with performance
Founded by international French tennis champion René Lacoste in the late 1920s, Lacoste is built on the principle of defying convention – and the brand has been a pioneering force in the worlds of fashion and sport for close to a century. Putting form and function front and center, René revolutionized the tennis uniform of his day with the invention of the polo shirt. He was also the first designer to feature a visible logo – the brand’s iconic crocodile motif – on an article of clothing.
Fast-forward to 2022 and this season marks a creative turn for Lacoste. As the boundaries between our on- and off-duty lives become ever more fluid, the label has created a stylish fashion-sport wardrobe that is designed to be as versatile and adaptable as the women who wear it. Lacoste is globally renowned for its distinctly elegant sporting aesthetic that combines a love of color with empowered femininity, and devotees of the label will be enamored by the new look. Designed for workouts, the tennis court, golf course, running errands or simply lounging at home, each piece is created to fit seamlessly into your closet and lifestyle. Garments are ergonomically tailored and feature high-tech fabrics to keep you dry and comfortable, while the flattering cuts and directional details will make you feel like your very best self.

From jackets and sweatshirts to leggings and bras, the pieces are developed in a bold color palette that juxtaposes bright shades – think fluorescent green, yellow and brick orange – with softer hues of pastel pink, white and cream. Each look is elevated with contrasting stitching, sports-inspired features such as concealed card pockets, drawstrings and heat-welded fastenings, as well as technical materials, all coming together to ensure optimal freedom of movement.
A standout in the collection thanks to its color-block design, cropped cut and comfortable loose fit, the red and pink sweatshirt is ideal for any sport. Featuring crocodile-print bands along the sleeves, this action-ready piece perfectly combines performance with style. Complete the look with the coordinating high-waisted leggings, which are crafted from a combination of fast-drying, recycled technical materials, and feature flat stitching for improved comfort as you play.
Elsewhere in the collection, elevated essentials such as form-fitting sports bras, cotton shorts and color-block trackpants are all you need to hone a casual aesthetic. Whether you’re on the sports field or in the city, this new-season look is all about expressing your style and creativity.
