    Astute Wimbledon viewers will have noticed tennis chavs Andy Roddick and Richard Gasquet both sporting Lacoste outfits in Friday's quarter-final. And both were wearing baseball caps to complete the look...

    I've no interest in the tracksuits personally, but good on the OP for posting. Two points in relation to the some of the comments above:

    1) Just because a brand/product is - fleetingly - associated with a particular section of society doesn't mean that others who have no interest in that sort of association might not want it. Lacoste in particular has had a premium brand status for many years which will no doubt outlive the sort of association mentioned so far in this thread.

    2) Regardless of all this, MSE is of course exactly the place where people should be able to discuss where to find cheaper tracksuits - or whatever. So they may not be to everybody else's taste, but hey, what ever is?

    Chill out, lighten up, have a laugh. You never know, you might get mugged by a chav tomorrow

    ned = scottish chav
    buckfast = whitelightening/maddog/whatever your local ned drink is...see here and in my defence that's a googled pic and i do not know these people!
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
