“Historically, the sport has been tied to elegance, especially from a fashion standpoint,” notes Catherine Spindler, chief brand officer at Lacoste. She cites company founder and former tennis ace René Lacoste, who famously introduced the polo shirt in 1933, permanently connecting athletic attire with classic design. She adds that today these “sport-influenced pieces are not just restricted to leisure, but are also styled for professional and evening events too.”
