Layla – Women's Denim Shirt | Hidden Bust Closures

The Layla Denim is a women's long sleeve denim shirt cut in a semi-fitted silhouette, offering the structure of a classic denim shirt with the feminine detailing Layla is known for. Soft shoulder gathers and hidden snap closures behind the button placket keep the front neat and gap-free all day.

It pairs as easily with a flowing midi skirt for a country event as it does with jeans for an everyday relaxed look. Available in sizes 6 to 22, it is the kind of Australian fashion staple that gets better with wear and works across every season. A signature embroidered L&S detail finishes each cuff.

From the Lime & Soda Collective range, designed for women who want confident, timeless style with no fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Layla Shirt run true to size, or should I size up or down?
The Layla Shirt runs true to Australian sizing with a semi-fitted cut, available in sizes 6 to 22. If you're between sizes or carry width across the shoulders or back, we recommend sizing up one. The hidden snap closures across the chest are designed to prevent pulling or gaping at any size.

Is it too warm to wear in summer? What's it actually made of?
The Layla Shirt is made from 100% denim, giving it the structure and durability of a classic denim shirt. It is a sturdy, long-wearing fabric that softens naturally with each wash.

I always have problems with shirts gaping across the chest. Will this do the same?
No. The Layla Shirt has hidden snap closures built into the placket behind the standard buttons, specifically to prevent chest gaping. This feature is included across all sizes, 6 to 22, and holds the fabric flat whether you're sitting, reaching, or moving through a full day.

Will it wrinkle badly? I've had bad experiences with linen before.
Denim does not wrinkle the way linen or cotton blends do. It holds its shape well throughout the day and generally needs no ironing. A gentle machine wash cold and line dry keeps it looking its best.

How do I wash it? Will the colour fade or the fabric shrink?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, and line dry in shade. Do not tumble dry or bleach. To keep the colour looking fresh, wash with like colours and avoid prolonged direct sun while drying. Iron on a medium heat while slightly damp to restore crispness.

What's the difference between the Layla Shirt and the Billie Shirt? Which one should I buy?
The Layla Denim is a structured style in 100% denim with shoulder gathers and a tailored silhouette, polished enough for work, a lunch date, or an event. The Billie is a relaxed, oversized fit cut from 100% cotton, designed for an easy off-duty feel. Choose Layla if you want something that looks pulled-together; choose Billie if you want something to throw on casually.

Can I wear this to work? What occasions is it actually suitable for?
Yes, the Layla Shirt's tailored silhouette, hidden snap closures, and signature embroidered L&S detail make it suited to smart-casual workplaces, client lunches, race days, weddings as a guest, and country events. It pairs with tailored trousers, a midi skirt, or jeans and works year-round without needing to change.
