Lacoste sizes: what the numbers mean and how the polos fit

In Lacoste men's sizes, the numbers go from 2 to 8: size 5 corresponds to L, Italian 50, and size 4 to M, Italian 48. For women Lacoste uses French sizing, from 34 up, which is always four sizes below Italian sizing. In this guide you'll find the conversion charts and how the Lacoste polos, t-shirts and sweatshirts at faraone.shop fit.

  • Size 3: S, Italian 46;
  • Size 4: M, Italian 48;
  • Size 5: L, Italian 50;
  • Size 6: XL, Italian 52;
  • Size 7: XXL, Italian 54.

On faraone.shop Lacoste menswear is listed in letter sizes: the chart helps you translate the number you read on the label or already wear.

How do you read Lacoste women's sizes?

How Lacoste polos and sweatshirts fit

The same number changes volume from one model to another, and the Fit field tells you before you order.

How do Lacoste polos fit?

Classic Lacoste polos have a regular fit: take your usual size. The cotton piqué doesn't squeeze and settles after the first few washes. The exception is the women's stretch piqué polo, which has a small fit: if you prefer a softer line, go one size up.

How do Lacoste sweatshirts fit?

It depends on the model:

  • Fleece sweatshirt: regular fit, usual size;
  • Jacquard zip sweatshirt Paris: small fit, consider one size up;
  • Cotton sweatshirt and relaxed fit trousers: loose fit, in your usual size you get the intended volume.

Does Lacoste run big or small?

Lacoste's standard fit is regular, but small and loose cuts sit side by side in the same collection. You choose the number with the chart; whether to go up or stay with your usual size depends on the Fit field of each garment.

The right Lacoste size takes two steps: the chart to translate the number and the model's fit to understand the volume. Every product page on faraone.shop shows the Fit field: Small, Regular or Loose.

On faraone.shop you'll find a selection of Lacoste for men and women, from piqué polos to t-shirts, sweatshirts and sneakers, with fast shipping, free size exchanges and 30 days to return.

Shoulders, collar and piqué

A polo in the right size keeps its shape

A polo in the right size follows the shoulders and keeps the collar straight.

A Lacoste polo in the right size follows the shoulders without pulling on the buttons and keeps the collar straight. A size too big sags at the hem and sleeves after a few washes, one too small stretches the piqué exactly where it's thinnest.
