What is the difference between a base layer and a show shirt?
A base layer is the stretchy, close-fitting top you pull on first. It is built to move with you and to sit flat under a gilet, jacket or body protector, which is why the LeMieux Base Layer at £39.95 is the piece worth owning in more than one colour. A show shirt is the competition version: a proper collar, a smarter finish and detailing designed to be seen at the collar and cuff. The Olivia Long Sleeve Show Shirt at £54.95 is that job done properly.
If you are only buying one thing this season and you are not competing, buy the base layer. If you have a show in the diary, the show shirt is the one that will be judged.
Short sleeve or long sleeve?
Short sleeve wins for summer schooling and for anything under a competition jacket where you will be warm anyway. Long sleeve wins for arm coverage in sun or wind, for cooler months, and for showing classes where a long sleeve reads as the more traditional turnout. The Mia Mesh range covers both, at £39.95 short sleeve and £44.95 long sleeve.
How do LeMieux ladies tops fit?
These are riding tops, so they are cut close on purpose. A base layer should feel snug without pulling across the shoulders when you take up a rein. Show shirts are cut to sit neatly under a jacket rather than to be worn loose. UK sizing runs from 4 to 18 across the collection depending on the style, and the Mia Mesh and Olivia lines are currently stocked right through UK 6 to 18.
If you are between sizes or you plan to layer underneath, size up. If you are still unsure, get in touch and our team will help you pick before you order.
What can I wear underneath?
Nothing bulky. The whole point of a base layer is that it is the first thing on, so a seamless sports bra is the usual answer. For a show shirt, a plain short-sleeve base layer underneath in cold weather works well and will not show through at the collar.
Which LeMieux pieces are worth buying together?
A sensible pairing is one Mia Mesh Short Sleeve Base Layer at £39.95 for daily riding plus one Olivia Short Sleeve Show Shirt at £44.95 kept clean for competition days. That covers the yard and the ring for £84.90 and clears the free UK delivery threshold. Add a second base layer in a different colour and you stop doing midweek washing.

LeMieux ladies tops: your questions answered
How much are LeMieux ladies t-shirts and base layers?
In-stock LeMieux ladies tops in this collection start at £39.95 for the Mia Mesh Short Sleeve Base Layer and the LeMieux Base Layer. The Mia Mesh Long Sleeve Base Layer and the Olivia Short Sleeve Show Shirt are £44.95, and the Olivia and Camille Long Sleeve Show Shirts are £54.95. There are 11 LeMieux ladies styles in the collection overall.
What is the difference between the Mia Mesh base layer and the standard LeMieux Base Layer?
The Mia Mesh Base Layer uses mesh panelling placed where you sweat most, which makes it the better pick for hot days and heavy schooling sessions. It comes in short sleeve at £39.95 and long sleeve at £44.95. The standard LeMieux Base Layer at £39.95 is the year-round layering option and is currently stocked in a wider spread of colours across UK 4 to 18, so it is easier to coordinate with the rest of your kit.
What size LeMieux ladies top should I order?
LeMieux ladies tops use UK dress sizing, and this collection runs from UK 4 to UK 18 depending on the style. Base layers and show shirts are both cut close so they sit flat under a jacket or body protector. If you are between sizes, or you intend to layer something underneath in winter, choose the larger size. Get in touch before ordering and our team will help you decide.
Can I wear a LeMieux base layer under a show jacket?
Yes. Base layers are designed to sit flat and move with you, so they work well under a jacket for training and for many unaffiliated classes. For affiliated competition, check your discipline's current dress rules first, because some classes ask specifically for a collared show shirt such as the Olivia or Camille rather than a base layer.
How should I wash LeMieux base layers and show shirts?
Always follow the care label sewn into the garment, as it is specific to that fabric. As a general rule for technical riding tops, wash cool, skip the fabric softener because it coats the fibres and reduces how well they move moisture, and dry away from direct heat. Turning show shirts inside out protects collar and cuff detailing in the machine.
What happens if the size is wrong when it arrives?
You have 90 days to return it. Try it on indoors over clean clothes and keep the packaging and tags until you are sure it fits. UK orders over £50 ship free, so pairing a base layer with a show shirt usually clears the threshold in one order.
