Why Shop With Shade Station
As the prestigious French Open nears a tantalising climax, Shade Station looks at how Lacoste's revered reputation still caters for one of sport's most iconic events.
Rene Lacoste is one of France's most recognisable exports. As part of the group of tennis players dubbed 'The Four Musketeers', Lacoste gained sporting immortality in his homeland - claiming three French Open titles, two Wimbledon Championships and two Davis Cups. But it is perhaps his polo shirt which was his most vital legacy. Today, Lacoste is a sporting brand with worldwide prestige and their sunglasses are no exception.
Twelve-time Grand Slam legend Novak Djokovic was appointed brand ambassador to Lacoste last year - being dubbed 'The New Crocodile' and following in Rene Lacoste's footsteps. Inspired by the tennis environment, Djokovic's Capsule Collection is available at Shade Station for men through the magnificient and newly released L601SND sunglasses. Moulded from lightweight acetate and crafted in a superb blue frame with brown lens offering 100% UV protective coating - you'll be calling the shots whether on the court or simply enjoying your summer.
The L790S model of Lacoste sunglasses are inspired by Rene Lacoste's legendary polo shirt. Available for a unisex clientele - the L790S are available in four sublime colour combinations. Again manufactured from lightweight acetate, the petit pique material from the polo shirt is incorporated into the design. Rubber temples fix the shades with comfort onto the wearers face, whatever exercise and perspiration the body is put through.

The Lacoste L867S sunglasses are designed specifically for men. With geometric temples ensuring a comfortable fit which will fix to the wearer's face, the sides of the shades are embellished with decorative patterns to provide passers by with a truly 21st Century look. Whether mirrored or solid lens - the L867S will provide the utmost style and protection down the line.
