That's true. However, I wouldn't consider them a prep brand.

>>12660863
It's really a shame. Lacoste's quality has gone down the gutter. Their shirts are extremely thin and the cotton is uncomfortable to the touch.

My old Lacoste polos are my favorite. I went to buy some new ones and literally didn't believe what I was seeing. I went to the Lacoste store because I thought for some reason that Macy's must not be caring the real ones anymore.

I was wrong. They do have a small Made in France line which is good quality, but is more overpriced and most of the items in the line are gaudy.

Bill's Khakis was bought out semi-recently and has suffered a quality decline.

Frank used to be one of the people making Khakis for Bill's. Essentially, Frank's is what Bill's used to be. Although, it is a much smaller operation without it's own website.

Is it possible to work t shirts into the "classic prep" category. I've seen some people say it is definitely doable but I haven't seen relevant inspo pics lately. I live in a place where it is over 75f 10 months out of the year.

T-shirts should really only be worn around the house or maybe for sports.

Wear a polo shirt or a button down and roll the sleeves up. For a button down get a summer fabric like seersucker or madras.

>>12662701
Nobody wears polos or button downs to the grocery store in southern USA except old people. Polos do not look good on someone that doesn't have muscular arms and shoulders.

No one gives a shit what goes on in the south bro.

Not my fault you are a limp dicked faggot.

>>12662858
Well, corduroys obviously.

Barbour, Dubarry...check out Savile Row.

Ralph Lauren is mall tier. It's okay, not bad really, but there are better things to buy. The purple label is obviously really good, but overpriced.

>>12662967
Bean Boots, Shetland Sweaters, Cardigans, Flannels both top and bottom, Wool coats or Parkas, Corduroys, Cable Knit Sweaters....
