Ключевые моменты
01Lacoste dates its company to 1933, and its own history places the short-sleeved tennis shirt at the 1928 French championship final.
02The Original L.12.12 Classic Fit polo was $115 on Lacoste’s US website on 7 October 2026.
03Fit and the silhouette you prefer are separate choices, so a Classic Fit and a Slim Fit can both fit well.
04A polo under a blazer is a matter of taste, so keep the jacket soft and the event smart-casual.
A Lacoste polo is one of the easiest shirts to wear well: choose a fit that sits comfortably on your shoulders, pick a colour that works with the rest of your clothes, and wear it with chinos, shorts, jeans or tailored trousers depending on the occasion.
The shirt has a long tennis history: René Lacoste wore short-sleeved knitted shirts on court in the late 1920s, and the company he founded with the knitwear maker André Gillier dates from 1933.
Lacoste’s own history points to the 1928 French championship final, while some menswear accounts date his first appearance in the shirt to the 1926 US championships.
This guide covers how to choose a Lacoste polo, then gives complete outfits for everyday wear, work, the seasons and particular occasions.
Choosing a Lacoste polo
Start with the fit, then the fabric, then the colour.
The fits Lacoste sells
On 7 October 2026 Lacoste’s US website listed these men’s short-sleeved polos.

| Рубашки поло | Крой и ткань | US price, 7 October 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Original L.12.12 | Classic Fit, cotton petit piqué | $115 |
| L.12.12 Slim Fit | Slim Fit, cotton piqué | $115 |
| Paris polo | Regular Fit, stretch piqué | $125 |
| Pima cotton polo | Regular Fit, Pima cotton | $100 |
| Cotton-linen polo | Classic Fit, cotton and linen | $125 |
| Ultra Dry sport polo | Regular Fit, performance fabric | $90 |
The Classic Fit is the roomiest cut, the Slim Fit sits closer to the body, and the Regular Fit sits between them.
Lacoste also sells a long-sleeved Classic Fit L.12.12, which was $125 on the same date.
How a polo should fit
Fit and the silhouette you prefer are separate choices: a relaxed Classic Fit and a closer Slim Fit can both fit well.
The shoulder seam should sit at or just past the edge of your shoulder.
The sleeves usually end around the middle of the upper arm, and a common guide is halfway to two-thirds of the way from shoulder to elbow; adjust to what feels comfortable on your arms.
The body should follow your torso without pulling across the chest or stomach and without billowing.
If you plan to wear it untucked, the hem should sit just below your belt.
Our guides to dressing the перевернутый треугольник, овальный, прямоугольник и треугольник body shapes, and our general guide to одежда для вашей фигуры, discuss fit for different builds.
You do not need to know your body shape to choose a polo; trying the Classic and Slim Fits on in the same size is the quickest test.
If you are curious, the Тест на форму тела для мужчин is an optional starting point.
Choosing colours
White and navy are the easiest Lacoste colours to wear, and both appear often in classic Цвета в стиле старых денег.
Lacoste sells the L.12.12 in dozens of colours, so compare a few shades of blue, green or burgundy next to your face and with the trousers or shorts you plan to wear.
Coral, orange and warmer yellows are other options to try; whether they suit you is easier to judge in a mirror than from a skin-tone label.
Наши сезонный цветовой гид и тест на анализ цвета can give you ideas to compare, but you can choose a polo without settling on a colour season.
Everyday Lacoste polo outfits
A polo sits between a T-shirt and a button-down shirt, so it works for most casual plans.
Бранч по выходным
Wear: a forest green polo, dark straight-leg jeans, white leather tennis trainers, a brown leather-strap watch and dark sunglasses.
A day in the city
Wear: a heather grey polo, navy chino shorts, white leather trainers and a lightweight navy bomber jacket in case it rains.
Расслабленный и спортивный
Wear: a red polo, neutral tapered joggers in a smooth fabric and plain minimalist trainers.
Keep the joggers plain and well fitting so the outfit looks deliberate rather than gym-bound.
Lacoste polos for smart-casual dressing
Наш гид по smart-casual dress code explains how far you can dress down, and a polo fits comfortably within it.
Для офиса
Check your workplace dress code first, because some offices treat polos as too casual; our руководство по деловому повседневному стилю sets out the usual expectations.
Wear: a white polo tucked into charcoal wool trousers, a brown leather belt, cognac brogues and a navy blazer for meetings.
Свидание
Wear: a burgundy polo, beige chinos, brown suede desert boots and a plain leather bracelet or watch.
Polo and blazer
Wearing a polo under a blazer is a matter of taste: some menswear writers prefer a collared shirt with a blazer because a soft polo collar can collapse under the lapels, while others like the relaxed effect.
If you try it, choose a polo with a firm collar, keep the blazer soft and unstructured, and stick to a smart-casual event.
Wear: a black or navy polo, a grey unstructured blazer, dark navy trousers and polished Оксфорд обувь or suede loafers, with a plain pocket square if you like.
Lacoste polo outfits by season
Весна и лето
Wear: a pale blue polo, white linen shorts or chinos, espadrilles and a Panama hat.
Осень
Wear: an olive polo under a light grey V-neck jumper, dark jeans and brown suede Chelsea boots.
Зима
Wear: a long-sleeved polo under a твидовый спортивный пиджак, brown corduroy trousers and brogues.
Lacoste polo outfits for occasions
Check the invitation first, because a polo is too casual for many formal events.
Вечеринка в саду
Wear: a pale pink polo, stone chinos, brown suede loafers, a navy linen blazer and tortoiseshell sunglasses.
Sailing or a yacht club
Наш гид по в стиле яхт-клуба covers the nautical look in more detail.
Wear: a navy and white striped polo, white shorts, leather boat shoes and a navy cap.
Гольф
Golf clubs often set their own dress codes, so check them before you play; our guide to стиль загородного клуба shows the classic look.
Wear: a performance polo in green or blue, tailored golf trousers, golf shoes and a plain cap.
Accessories with a Lacoste polo
A watch on a leather strap or a steel bracelet works with almost any polo outfit.
Match the colour of your belt to your shoes: a woven tan belt with tan boat shoes for summer, or a smooth black belt with black Oxfords for a smarter look.
Classic aviator or rectangular sunglasses suit the shirt’s sporting background.
A neutral baseball cap suits casual outfits, while a straw hat suits summer.
How to wear a Lacoste polo well
A Lacoste polo works across casual, smart-casual and summer occasions when it fits well and suits the rest of the outfit.
Choose the fit by trying it on, choose colours by comparing them with your face and your other clothes, and match the formality of your trousers and shoes to the occasion.
