Lacoste Red! Slim Fit Pique Polo – $43.90 (reg. $88.00)
Alfani has their RED Label, and apparently so does Lacoste. Not sure which came first, but both “Red” monikers appear to mean the same thing. A younger, slimmer, more athletic fit than their traditional more boxy apparel brothers. Combine the Lacoste classic croc, not too bold stripes, and the new fit, and now there’s a pique polo worth paying $40 for.
Not $88.00, $40.00. Thanks Nordstrom Sale.
Yes you’re paying for the croc. And not being a slave to brands and their logos is extremely important if you’re buying on a budget. But it’s fun to break that rule every once in awhile when you’ve got something like this.
Available in most sizes in a few different color options.
Don’t be thrown off by the goofy sizing: 3=XS, 4=S, 5=M, 6=L, 7=XL, etc…

I might would pay $25 for a shirt with an alligator on it. I honestly don’t see what is so great about paying $40 for it.
“Affordable” is a pretty loose, fluid, relative term Robert. So what you’re saying is that you’re more of the $6.00 polo type?
You are not paying $40 for an alligator, you are paying for a crocodile 😛 When that croc usually costs $88 then $40 is pretty good, if you are into that sort of thing. As Joe mentioned in the article, sometimes it is fun to break the rule and jump for a brand if you have the money. It’s not just any crocodile, it is the Lacoste croc and depending on where you live it will easily be recognized as such.
That said, I might buy it if I were in the market for a polo atm, but I am pretty happy with my array of express signature polos. I think I’m pretty much done with buying summer clothes until next year. On to fall! 🙂
6 mossimo polos or one croc shirt?
