Lacoste

Nice selection of clothes that won’t go out of style. The staff was friendly and helpful. They did’t press you as soon as you walk in.

The store may be small but it is packed with all the essentials. The service is friendly and funny… how can you beat that? While I was looking around, one of the guys working there said they just got a new shipment in but they didn’t have it out yet. He asked my size and brought up several items that weren’t on the floor yet. That’s amazing service!

Great little store but damn – my little 2 year old cousin’s playpen is bigger than this place. Don’t be surprised if you walk in and immediately find yourself walking out the back door.
It was my first time visiting today and I might as well have been invisible. I mean, you’d think that since they’re packed in this sardine can all day folding the same old polo shirts, they’d be at least a little excited when a customer finally walks through the door.
If you’re looking for a wide selection, you won’t get it here. I recommend ordering off of their website instead.

i’ll be honest: lacoste isn’t usually my type of brand or store. but for absolutely saving the day last week, 4 stars!
the scene: 25+ clothing stores in the DC area
the crime: no one-​piece bathing suits (or any swimwear suitable –badum-​ching!– for a work-​related swimwear-​attired outing). seriously, ladies, this one is a doozy, am I right?
the hero: the georgetown lacoste store! and the super lovely store manager (tara? can’t remember her name)
i don’t know what it is with this city and its stores’ lack of swimwear during the summer season, let alone one-​piece options (admittedly, this is probably the first one-​piece i’ve owned since i was 12), but i was in a crunch and Lacoste came through. not only did they have an attractive black one-​piece suit, but they happily looked up color and size options in their computers and were able to bring back a number of potential suits from their stockroom. I was in and out in ~10 minutes with a bathing suit (with a barely-​noticeable signature alligator on a cute belt embellishment, preferable to a big green one broadcasting the brand), and on a sailboat with work folks just a few hours later. The only other place I found with 1-​piece suits (bloomies in friendship heights) only had these weird «miracle» bathing suits that i don’t think you’re allowed to wear when you’re still in your 20s, and basically only carried in sizes over 12.
minus 1 star for really really really annoying, loud other customers/​tourist types, but special thanks to the sweet and friendly staff last week for their helping me score a super cute one-​piece suit at 50% off. wahoo!

I usually shop at Lacoste on the same day I shop at Kate Spade: in other words, when I am feeling reckless with my credit cards. These French clothes are fun — and probably more bang for the buck than Kate Spade’s purses. I have to confess that I love their sneakers — and have a special place in my heart for their jeans (the ones with the huge alligator head on the arse). What can I say?

Went to the Lacoste store for the first time today to buy a friend a birthday gift. (Yeah, he is one of those guys that has to have a reptile on his shirt at all times). I was actually surprised — the sales woman was friendly and helpful. (one look at me and you can tell I’m not the alligator wearing type). The downside is the store is small and packed with as much merchandise as they could fit. I understand that rents in Georgetown are pretty steep, but still… when 3 other customers entered the store, I felt they were in my personal space.
As expected, the shirts were pretty pricey, but he’s a good friend!
