It started with a croc. The year was 1923 and tennis prodigy René Lacoste was on the cusp of greatness. He was referred to as "The Alligator" and would always wear a tennis shirt embroidered with a crocodile logo to his matches. In 1933, the polo revolution won over the world and the brand was officially launched. From being tennis legend to a wardrobe revolutionizer, René made polo shirts a stylish statement that eventually took the world by storm.
Over 80 years later, Lacoste continues to be a beloved brand especially here in the Philippines. Below, we list the 10 most-bought Lacoste pieces over the past year.
