SPORTS COLLECTION SPRING / SUMMER 2016
TO FUSE BOTH THE SPORTS AND FASHION UNIVERSES BY BLENDING TECHNICAL NATURE, PERFORMANCE AND INNOVATION WITH THE BRAND’S EMBLEMATIC STYLE IS THE DARING AND SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE OF THE NEW LACOSTE SPORTS SPRING-SUMMER 2016 COLLECTION, WHICH ADVOCATES KINETIC ELEGANCE, WHETHER ON THE COURT OR OUT ON THE PAVEMENT. TENNIS COLLECTION
THE TENNIS LINE IS SEGMENTED INTO 4 COLLECTIONS: A TENNIS SPORT COLLECTION AND A LIFESTYLE COLLECTION FOR MEN AND WOMEN AS WELL AS A PERFORMANCE AND A TRAINING COLLECTION FOR MEN. SPORT COLLECTION
The Tennis sport collection is a technical line that combines style and performance. It offers a large range of products for men and women who play tennis, with a particular mind to details and fabrics, thereby ensuring optimal comfort. Specific attention is brought to the finishing touches, such as the thermo-fused zips, reflective markings, mesh inlays and integrated bras and shorts… which provide support and comfort during exertion. The style is streamlined, with interacting lines and piping, while the colors reflect the brand’s DNA, with silver grey, navy, white and green playing off against touches of royal blue and neon yellow.
A second wardrobe, exclusively masculine, is calibrated in hues of black, white, blue, red and orange and plays the color-blocking card while revealing new prints. A new hybrid piece, halfway between a sweatshirt and a stretch taffeta double-faced jacket, is making an appearance in sportsmen’s closets.
LIFESTYLE COLLECTION
Conceived with the everyday athlete in mind, this collection favors modern cuts, strong graphic markings and comfortable fabrics. This season, new double-faced fabrics, a blurred print and mesh effects liven up the elements of this casual chic wardrobe. The blue, salmon and orange tints come to stimulate the silver grey, black and white. PERFORMANCE COLLECTION
The Tennis Performance collection caters to sportsmen seeking technical clothing with tangible functionalities. It is comprised of materials specifically selected for their quality and technical nature, such as ultra- dry fabrics or compressing ones. The thermo-fused markings and the user-friendly stitching prevent friction and allow for a greater freedom of movement. Black, grey, blue and khaki are the dominant tones of this capsule, all of which are galvanized by a new geometric print.
Strong pieces: A hybrid piece halfway between jacket and sweatshirt made from khaki water repellent fabric with reflective details, stretch taffeta shorts which can be worn over a black stretch jersey legging, a hooded jacket that blends ripstop with light stretch taffeta. The geometric print is repeated on technical stretch jersey polo shirts and a T-shirt made from compression fabric.
TRAINING COLLECTION
In order to train, the Training products mix functionality with comfort. This line is comprised of essentials, which come in a large color palette. Polo shirts and T-shirts, whether plain or striped, come in ultra-dry piqué or super light cotton, tracksuits are of diamond taffeta and the sweatshirts come in brushed fleece. A printed ripstop jacket completes this wardrobe. GOLF COLLECTION
To swing with style, LACOSTE came up with a collection that mixes technical products with lifestyle ones, the endgame of which is to meet the golfer’s specific needs. This line blends fashion with sports through the use of technical fabrics, vibrant colors and super comfortable cuts. Stretch, waxed cotton gabardine, UV protection fibers, antiperspirant fabrics and water repellent double-faced stretch twill are matched with a new checked print with piping and varying stripes. Dark green, sky blue et bright yellow make their way onto the green alongside black, white and sliver grey.
For men, the sky blue ultra-dry ottoman polo shirt is worn with checked stretch gabardine Bermuda shorts while the technical gabardine trousers are paired with a striped technical jersey polo shirt and a white waxed gabardine jacket. For a sportier look, a sleeveless navy waxed gabardine jacket is worn over a super light yellow cotton polo shirt with contrasting navy striped collar and sleeves and plain stretch gabardine Bermuda shorts.
For women, the sky blue technical gabardine skirt with integrated shorts and double piping on the sides is worn with a zipped-collar white polo shirt with sky blue contrasting stitches, while the navy technical gabardine trousers are paired with a yellow stretch piqué cotton with contrasting stripes playing along the collar and sleeves. A pair of shorts, a polo dress, a stain-resistant water repellent sweater and a laminated twill and stretch taffeta jacket round-off the golfing lady’s wardrobe, making sure she’s always ready to face the fairway’s fickle weather.
A collection that combines comfort with timeless elegance for a perfect performance.
