Basics Slim Fit Purple Linen Shirt

This slim fit shirt is woven from 100% linen in a clean purple shade that sits between formal and casual. Linen at this weight (around 140 GSM) breathes well enough for summer heat and holds structure without feeling stiff—useful for the Indian climate where you need something that won't cling when it gets warm.

The fabric has a natural slub weave that gives it texture without pattern; no special finishes mean it will soften further with washing. Pair this with chinos or other plain shirts in neutral tones for layering, or wear it open over a t-shirt on warmer evenings. The purple works better in casual and semi-formal settings than in corporate meetings.

Linen wrinkles by design—that's part of the fabric's character. If you prefer a crisper look, iron it damp. Check the fit against your chest measurement; our slim cut runs close to the body, and linen pieces don't have much give.
