Basics Slim Fit Swedish Blue Cotton Linen Stripe Shirt

This slim fit shirt combines cotton and linen in a Swedish Blue ground with tonal stripes, built for the Indian climate without the bulk. The cotton-linen blend (55% cotton, 45% linen) sits at 135 GSM—light enough for April through October, structured enough to hold shape through a workday. The weave resists creasing better than pure cotton, a practical advantage if you're commuting or moving between air-conditioned spaces and heat.

Wear it open over a white t-shirt in humid months, or button it up for office settings where a blue shirt reads as formal without feeling heavy. The slim fit works best with straight-leg trousers or chinos—avoid pairing with relaxed cuts. The stripes add visual interest without pattern clash, so it layers under sweaters easily in winter.

This runs true to size. Wash in cool water and hang dry to preserve the linen's natural texture and minimise ironing time.
