Emma Plaid Button-Up Top | Wayf Clothes
Our Emma plaid button-up top combines classic shirting details with a modern relaxed silhouette. The soft cotton fabric feels lived-in from the first wear, while the oversized fit gives you room to move throughout your day. We designed this button-up with a longer back hem for tucking versatility and rolled sleeve tabs so you can style it dressed up or down.

Fabric & construction details
We source a medium-weight cotton poplin for the Emma plaid button-up top that holds its structure without feeling stiff. The fabric weight sits at 4.5 ounces per square yard, substantial enough to drape cleanly over your frame but light enough to layer under jackets and cardigans. Our production team pre-washes every bolt before cutting to minimize shrinkage, so the fit you try on is the fit that lasts.
Sizing & fit guidance
The Emma top runs true to size with a relaxed, oversized silhouette. If you’re between sizes or prefer a closer fit, we recommend sizing down one. The shoulder seam sits slightly dropped for a laid-back look, and the bust measurement is generous enough to accommodate layering underneath.

Questions about the Emma plaid button-up top
The Emma top has a relaxed, oversized fit that’s more generous through the bust and shoulders than our tailored button-ups like the Chloe. If you own our Riley flannel, the Emma fits similarly in the body but has a slightly longer back hem. We recommend your usual size for an oversized look, or size down one for a closer fit.
Yes, you can tumble dry the Emma top on low heat. The cotton poplin holds up well in the dryer, though air drying will extend the fabric’s lifespan slightly. We pre-wash the fabric during production to minimize shrinkage, so your fit should remain consistent either way.
The Emma plaid features a muted palette of soft gray, cream, and navy threads in a classic windowpane check. The neutral tones make it easy to coordinate with solid denim, black pants, or khaki chinos without clashing.
Yes, the chest pocket is fully functional with a button closure. It’s sized to hold small items like your phone or a pair of sunglasses, and the button keeps everything secure during wear.
The plaid pattern is yarn-dyed, meaning the color goes through the entire thread rather than being printed on the surface. This construction keeps the pattern vibrant through repeated washing. We recommend washing in cold water and avoiding bleach to maintain the colors long-term.
Absolutely. The curved shirttail hem is designed to look polished whether tucked or untucked. The longer back hem provides coverage when you wear it loose, and the side slits give you room to move comfortably.
Yes, the medium-weight cotton poplin is substantial enough to wear on its own but not too bulky for layering. The fabric lays flat under blazers and cardigans without adding extra bulk through the shoulders or sleeves.
