ABOUT
The Leila Shirt is a loose fitting shirt that feels simple and elegant. This cut features a very dropped shoulder with an exaggerated roomy fit around the body, full sleeves with an extra long placket and back gathering details.
It’s the perfect piece to wear in warm weather, giving extra breathability while still being a modest cut. It also layers up beautifully in the winter with warm thermal polo necks. This style relies so much on its drape so it’s preferable to choose a particularly special fabric. Combine that with a neat finish, this piece will be a stylish classic to cherish for years.
