Tyler, the Creator and Lacoste Make Tennis Clothes for the Menswear Crowd

Tyler, the Creator has mastered his own brand of style: one that feels both youthful and grown-up at an equivalent time. For him, this balancing act seems effortless: a kelly green suit with a bright yellow sweater, say, or a Tyler The Creator Merchpink polo with flower-printed pants. Both sound too showy on paper, but on Tyler, each outfit looks ultra-stylish—and yet somehow, and necessarily, uncomplicated. Time and time again, he’s proven that big colors and prep-adjacent style are often quite the right pairing. And now, the rapper and designer has brought his trademark eye to his new collaboration with Lacoste, a set of garments that make usually ordinary tennis tracksuits and polo shirts desire covetable menswear.

Earlier this summer, Tyler was spotted at the French Open in some co-branded Golf Le Fleur x Lacoste threads, but he remained tight-lipped on any official details. It seems the pink-and-white rugby shirt he wore was just the tip of the iceberg. The collaboration is far quite one shirt—it’s practically an entire line of clothing. There are two-toned tracksuits featuring jagged diagonal prints, classic Lacoste polos in reminder blush pink and baby blue, and fuzzy cardigan sweaters with delightful details. Plus, pants and bucket hats and varsity jackets! (No joke: a Tyler The Creator T Shirts full-on collection.) All of the garments and accessories feel youthful but polished, not unlike a frame from a Wes Anderson film. It’s no small task to form clothing that might somehow check out home at a rustic club also as a skate park, but Tyler has managed to try to to exactly that.
