FAQs
What is the key difference between Lacoste polo sizes?
Sizes differ in bust circumference and pant waist circumference. For example, a SMALL (3) has a bust of 90-93cm, while a MEDIUM (4) has a bust of 97-101cm. Refer to the size chart in the product description for precise measurements.
Is the L1212 polo shirt suitable for sports?
While the L1212 is the original sportswear-inspired polo, its 100% cotton fabric is breathable but may not offer the same moisture-wicking performance as modern athletic polyesters. It's ideal for casual sports like golf or tennis but less so for high-intensity activities.
How do I identify an authentic Lacoste polo shirt?
Look for the signature croc appliqué at the chest (approximately 3 cm in length) and the mother of pearl buttons. Ensure the garment is made from 100% cotton and check for the Lacoste branding details.
Can I wear this polo shirt for formal occasions?

What does 'Easy Care' mean for this polo shirt?
'Easy Care' indicates that the shirt is designed for simple maintenance. It is machine washable and generally resistant to wrinkles, making it convenient for regular wear.
Does the L1212 come in different fits?
The L1212 is described as having a 'Classic fit', which is a regular, straight cut. While variations in sizing exist, the core fit remains consistent.
