Basics Slim Fit Tide Aqua Cotton Fil-A-Fil Shirt

The Basics Slim Fit Tide Aqua Cotton Fil-A-Fil Shirt is a lightweight everyday shirt built for Indian summers and transitional weather. The fil-à-fil weave—a subtle cross-pattern created by alternating dyed and white yarns—gives the fabric a refined texture without visual bulk, keeping the shirt breathable at around 140 GSM.

This is a workhorse for office days when you want something sharper than a basic tee but don't need formal structure. Tide Aqua sits in that versatile blue range that works with grey trousers, navy chinos, or casual denims. Layer it under a linen blazer for meetings, or wear it standalone with plain basics for a composed, unfussy look. The slim fit tapers through the chest and waist without restricting movement—typical of how sizing runs at Basics.

Wash in cool water to maintain the colour depth. Because the weave is structured, it holds its shape well through multiple wears before needing a press.
