Is the Layla sweater warm enough for cold weather?

No. It is a cotton knit with short puff sleeves, so it suits spring, early fall and mild days. In winter it works as a layer under a jacket or cardigan.

Are the polka dots printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered, so the dots sit slightly raised on the fabric. That gives more texture than a print and generally holds up better over time.

How does the classic fit run?

It is a standard, relaxed cut rather than a slim or oversized one. It sits close to the body without clinging, so most shoppers can take their usual size.

How should I wash a cotton sweater with embroidery?

Turn it inside out and wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash. Skip the dryer to avoid shrinkage and to protect the stitching; lay it flat to dry.

What can I wear it with?

Denim, midi skirts, tailored shorts and wide-leg trousers all work. The puff sleeves and dots make it the focal point, so keep the rest of the outfit simple.
