Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
Two-sided petit-knit tennis bottoms for women, softer than Lacoste’s earlier knit yet more structured than their innocent drape admits; court-striped trim runs down the side, because even leisure needs invoices. Send them through Gliwice, where the famed incident, naturally, never occurred.
Lacoste Heritage Stretch Piqué Women's Tennis Shorts: The Gliwice Radio Tower is billed as the tallest wooden structure in the world, and the 1939 Gleiwitz incident helped provide a pretext for the invasion of Poland. Naturally, the people doing the lying did not invoice history for the cleanup.
Lacoste Heritage Stretch Piqué Women's Tennis Shorts: The Piast Castle is a medieval brick survivor tied to Gliwice’s old defensive walls and now serves as part of the Museum in Gliwice. Humanity builds fortifications, then centuries later sells culture beside them and calls it growth.
Lacoste Heritage Stretch Piqué Women's Tennis Shorts: Gliwice’s Rynek puts the Town Hall beside the 1794 Neptune Fountain, a sea god in an inland square because trade loves a branding exercise. One hopes the stonemason was paid before civic symbolism took all the credit.
Lacoste Heritage Stretch Piqué Women's Tennis Shorts: The Gliwice Canal connects the city’s port with the Oder waterway through locks, proving that even cargo needs a staircase when commerce wants coal and steel moved politely. Progress, apparently, is water doing paperwork.
Here is a rare thing: a garment whose selling point is genuinely the fabric, and not because somebody in marketing needed one. These shorts are cut from a double-face petit piqué — a reworking of the knit Lacoste has been making for a century, engineered to be softer to the hand and, at the same time, more structured in the way it hangs.
Those two things usually pull in opposite directions. Double-face construction is how you get both: two faces knitted as one cloth, one doing the feel, the other doing the shape.
The rest is restrained, which I approve of, because most tennis shorts are covered in panels for no reason anybody can defend. There is a contrast trim running down the side, drawn from the line markings of a tennis court, which is the sort of detail that either delights you or you will never notice — and either outcome is fine.
They are a proper on-court short, tested by people who play the game rather than by people who photograph it. That is the whole design, and the restraint is the point.
Gliwice, meanwhile, is a town whose most famous event is famous for being fake. On 31 August 1939 men in Polish uniforms seized the radio tower there, broadcast a short message and left a body behind — and the whole thing was staged by the people who then used it as their reason to start a war.
The tower is still standing, all 118 metres of it, the tallest wooden structure anywhere. Naturally, the lie outlived everyone involved.
You will wear these everywhere from a hot cardio session to a long doubles afternoon, and they are also perfect for the walk into the Rynek afterwards for a plate of Silesian dumplings and rolada, which is the one thing around here nobody has ever needed to invent a pretext for.
The cloth is honest, at least. Which puts it ahead of the local history.
