Lacoste have got together with JD to offer a unique online shopping service so that you can try on your new trainers without even leaving the comfort of your home…

Internet shopping is an absolute godsend! The fact that you can indulge in retail therapy whilst lounging in your house, eating cereal, wearing nothing but your soiled y-fronts is amazing to us. The only issue however is how do you know what your new purchase is gonna look like with the rest of your outfit? Well the iconic tennis-inspired fashion brand

Lacoste and the UK’s largest lifestyle sports retailer JD have teamed up to provide a solution with their online ‘Virtual Wardrobe’. Simply by going to jdsports.co.uk/lacoste and uploading a picture of yourself, you can see what you’d look like in the new range, which includes the JD exclusive Marcel Twist shoes. See how your jeans look or if you wanna go for a smart or casual look. If you’re into customisation, and wanna see how your new shoes will work best with your actual wardrobe, then simply select the ‘Lace Ups’ section and the clever site will show you how they would look with a variety of different lace colours; all of which are available at JD. And for those of you that are about more than just buying nice shoes and wanna fill your brains with a little info and culture, you can click on ‘Looking Back’ section and educate yourself on Lacoste’s heritage and find out how they have come to be the iconic fashion brand that they are today by delving through the archives.
