Geschiedenis
Tennis champion René Lacoste founded the parent brand in 1933 after designing a breathable piqué cotton shirt to replace traditional long-sleeved tennis whites. This innovation introduced the modern polo shirt to the athletic world. Lacoste Sport emerged as a specialized division to focus on contemporary performance gear. Historically, the brand bridged the gap between professional sports equipment and leisure wear, influencing the development of the global preppy and athleisure fashion movements.
