Founded in 1933 in France by tennis champion René Lacoste and entrepreneur André Gillier, Lacoste Sport is the performance-driven extension of the heritage brand. Rooted in the founder's legacy as a tennis innovator—who famously cut the sleeves off his shirt to create the first polo—the line merges athletic functionality with classic French elegance. Lacoste Sport is defined by its signature L.12.12 polo shirts, lightweight technical knits, and tailored activewear designed for tennis, golf, and everyday movement. The brand caters to an active, style-conscious audience seeking breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics and streamlined silhouettes.
