Do I have to wash the Lacoste polo shirt in any particular way?

Another aspect that should not be underestimated is the drying phase: hang the polo shirt from the bottom edge, always upside down, or put it in a hanger and let it dry in the shade in a ventilated place away from direct sunlight which would cause loss of colour in the exposed part. Finally, for ironing, it is advisable to iron the polo shirt inside out starting from the back.
