How to Measure

To ensure you select the correct Lacoste size, follow these simple steps for accurate body measurements:

1. Bust/Chest Circumference: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight. Record the measurement in centimetres or inches.
2. Waist Circumference: Measure around your natural waist (the narrowest part) at the level where you normally wear your trousers. Again, keep the tape snug but not constricting.
3. Hip Circumference: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, approximately 20–25 cm below your waist. Keep the tape parallel to the ground.
4. Sleeve Length (Shirts): Measure from the centre back neck, across the shoulder, down to your wrist. This ensures proper shirt sleeve length.
5. Neck Circumference (Dress Shirts): Wrap the tape comfortably around your neck where the collar sits. This is critical for accurate shirt sizing.
6. Inseam (Trousers): Measure from the inside seam of your inner leg from the crotch to the ankle bone. This determines the correct trouser length.
7. Compare with Charts: Once you have your measurements, compare them with the relevant Lacoste size chart below. If your measurements fall between two sizes, consult product-specific reviews or consider your preferred fit style.

Product-Specific Sizing Guidance

Lacoste Polo Shirts

Lacoste's legendary polo shirts are designed with a classic, refined fit that works beautifully layered or worn alone. The brand's signature polos feature a structured collar and slightly tapered body. Most customers find that polos fit true to size. However, if you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up by one size. The fit is consistent across both men's and women's ranges, though women's polos are cut with a more contoured silhouette.

Lacoste T-Shirts & Casual Tops

Casual t-shirts and tops from Lacoste offer a comfortable, relaxed fit suitable for everyday wear. These pieces typically fit true to size. For a loose, oversized aesthetic, size up. For a more fitted look, size down. Women's casual tops are notably narrower through the shoulders and more fitted at the waist compared to men's equivalents.

Lacoste Trainers & Sneakers

Lacoste trainers are known for their comfort and timeless design. Most styles fit true to size in both UK and EU sizing. However, certain models with narrow toe boxes may require a half-size larger than your usual size. Always check individual product reviews for fit feedback, as different styles can vary. Unisex trainer models are typically sized using men's sizing, so women should size down approximately 1.5 sizes from their US women's shoe size.

Lacoste Dress Shirts

Dress shirts are sized by neck circumference (in centimetres) and sleeve length. Ensure accurate neck and sleeve measurements before ordering. Lacoste dress shirts are designed with a structured fit that's slightly more tailored than casual polo shirts. If you're between two neck sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.

Lacoste Footwear for Children

Children's shoes and trainers from Lacoste are built for durability and comfort. Sizes follow standard UK, EU, and US conversions. Ensure adequate room for growth whilst maintaining a secure fit. Allow approximately one thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. Check frequently as children's feet grow rapidly.

Sizing Tips

• Fit is True to Size: Lacoste clothing and footwear generally fit true to size according to the brand's official size charts. If you know your usual UK or EU size, select accordingly without hesitation.
• Check the Specific Product Category: Lacoste polos have a different cut from t-shirts, and dress shirts differ from casual tops. Always reference the specific chart for the product you're purchasing, as sizing can vary subtly between categories.
• Fabric Composition Matters: Cotton-based polos and shirts from Lacoste may shrink slightly if not cared for properly. Wash in cool water and tumble dry on low heat to minimise shrinkage. Pure cotton pieces will shrink more than cotton-blend options.
• Women's vs. Men's Unisex Styles: Some Lacoste pieces are designed as unisex and sized accordingly. Women should be aware that unisex trainers, for example, are typically cut to men's proportions. Consider sizing down by 1.5 sizes if you're a woman ordering unisex shoes.
• Consider Your Preferred Fit: Lacoste's classic cut is slightly more fitted than casual streetwear brands but more relaxed than high-fashion tailoring. If you prefer an oversized or very loose silhouette, size up. If you like a more streamlined fit, stick to your regular size or size down.
• Read Customer Reviews for Footwear: Shoe fit can be highly subjective. Before purchasing Lacoste trainers or shoes, read customer reviews to understand whether specific styles run large, small, or true to size. Some models have narrow toe boxes whilst others are roomier.
• Measure Your Neck for Dress Shirts: Accurate neck measurement is essential for dress shirts. Measure around your neck where the collar sits, with one finger's width of space for comfort. Neck sizes are typically given in centimetres (36, 37, 38, etc.).
• Account for Layering: If you plan to wear Lacoste polos or shirts under sweaters or jackets, you may prefer a slightly roomier fit. Consider sizing up if layering is part of your intended styling.
• International Sizing Conversions: Use this guide to convert between UK, EU, and US sizing. Lacoste maintains consistency across these systems, so a UK 10 will always correspond to the same EU and US sizes listed in the charts above.
• Free Returns & Exchanges: Take advantage of Lacoste's return policies when available. If you're uncertain between two sizes, order both and return the one that doesn't fit. This removes the guesswork from online shopping.
