Argyle and Nordic diamonds, worked in green with a range of colours: a winter knit from a house better known for its tennis shirts. The batwing sleeves and crew neck give it the easy volume of 1990s knitwear, and it reads as sporty and warm at the same time.
Lacoste Nordic argyle knit jumper, 1990sThis jumper was made by Lacoste in the 1990s. It is knitted in green with a multicoloured pattern that combines argyle with Nordic diamond motifs, and it has a crew neck and long batwing sleeves. The size is 42 IT / 40 FR, it is made of 100% acrylic, and it measures 23.5 in pit to pit, 24 in shoulder to shoulder and 23 in from neck to hem.
Sporty and warm at the same time.
Lacoste was founded in 1933 by the French tennis champion René Lacoste, and its name is closely tied to the sport shirt he popularised. Alongside its tennis heritage, the brand produced knitwear for the colder months, and pieces like this jumper show its lighter side in pattern and colour.
Argyle, with its diamond grid, has long been associated with sporting and country dress, while Nordic patterns come from traditional winter knitting. Combining the two in bright colours on a green ground was typical of 1990s casual knitwear, and the batwing sleeves add the relaxed volume of the decade.
Patterned knitwear from 1990s sportswear houses has returned to favour with collectors and vintage buyers. Bold, multicoloured designs from recognised brands are sought after for their colour and character.
Vintage pieces from 1990s sportswear brands remain popular, with patterned knitwear among the most sought after.
Vintage knitwear is found one piece and one size at a time, so a specific pattern in a given size may not return.
Argyle and Nordic patterns have returned to winter styling, adding interest in original designs from the decade.
