Men’s Designer Clothing – Fred Perry and Lyle & Scott go Head to Head

So far as men’s designer clothing is concerned, few items are as universally popular as polo shirts as they are ideal for many different occasions and, in fashion terms, it really is hard to beat Lyle & Scott and Fred Perry polo shirts for sheer style. Both these fashion big-hitters have interested stories as how they became mainstays in the world of men’s designer clothing. The Fred Perry brand, for example, stems from the famous tennis player of the same name who remains the only Englishman to have won Wimbledon on 3 consecutive occasions. It is suggested that Fred Perry felt that the green t-shirts that were customary at Wimbledon at the time in which he plied his trade made the players look too much as though they were in the army, so, he donated 75 polo shirts of his own creation and these were essentially the first incarnations of the Fred Perry polo shirts which are so popular today and which can be seen everywhere from the high street to the tennis court.

It is fair to say that the world of men’s designer clothing is a highly competitive one which makes it all the more impressive that brands like Fred Perry and Lyle & Scott have managed to remain on top for so long. This really is testament to the superb design principles adopted by these two leading fashion labels and their dedication to detail and providing clothing that men want is likely to see Lyle & Scott and Fred Perry remain as some of the most popular men’s designer clothing brands for some considerable time to come. Whilst Fred Perry polo shirts are typically associated with tennis and, conversely, Lyle & Scott are linked to golf, it is fair to say that these two brands are now as likely to be spotted on the high street as on the sporting arenas they stem from.

Whilst many still wear Fred Perry and Lyle & Scott polo shirts in their respective sports, they are now much more a staple of high street fashion and with little wonder. Polo shirts are a great casual look and the many different designs and styles provided by these two clothing heavyweights really do make it possible to really look the part.
