Lacoste’s short-sleeved polo is 50 percent off at Amazon for Prime Day, and Good Housekeeping’s shopping writer says it is “too good to pass up.”
The shirt goes back to the 1920s, when tennis player René Lacoste designed it as athletic wear. His nickname was “the crocodile,” which is where the logo on the chest comes from. The writer remembers it as the preppy shirt of the 1980s.
The men’s polo is 100 percent cotton. Lacoste describes the cut as straight and slim fit, so it may run small, and anyone who likes a roomier shirt should size up. The brand recommends washing it cold on a machine and air-drying it on a hanger or rack.
More than 20 colors are in stock in sizes from 3XS to 4XL. The discount varies by color and size, so the 50 percent figure will not apply to every combination. A pink version is the writer’s pick.
