Basic Rights: The Versatile Wardrobe You’ve Been Dreaming Of

Let’s be honest - most of us are pretty demanding when it comes to our clothes. We want something that looks sharp enough for the office but also laid-back enough for a night out. Sounds impossible, right? I know I’m not alone in wishing for that perfect, do-it-all piece of clothing because, let’s face it, I’m lazy too!

But is there actually a shirt that bridges the gap between formal and casual wear? You’d think no, because when you need to look polished, you grab a dress shirt, and when comfort’s the goal, it’s T-shirt time. But guess what? I think I’ve found that “miracle” piece in Basic Rights, an indie brand based in New York.

What makes Basic Rights special is its dedication to timeless style. Their clothes aren't about chasing trends but about offering classic pieces that stay relevant season after season. The design process is global: they design in New York, perfect measurements in London, source fabrics from Japan and India, and sew in Thailand.

If you’re all about a minimalist wardrobe, Basic Rights will speak your language. Their collection revolves around neutral tones - black, white, gray, and navy dominate. But the real star here is their Tunic Shirt. It’s a perfect hybrid between a button-down shirt and a pullover tee - basically, the answer to my lazy, versatile wardrobe dreams.

The Basic Rights Tunic Shirt gives you the best of both worlds: polished enough for work, chill enough for going out.


It’s got that clean, no-fuss design with just enough flair to stand out.

For instance, check out the button strip - it’s slightly off-center towards the bottom, adding a subtle, stylish twist without being flashy.


All Basic Rights clothing is designed with a relaxed, modern fit, a departure from the tight, body-hugging styles that dominated men’s fashion not long ago. The trend now is all about simplicity and comfort, and who’s going to complain about that?

Aside from the Tunic Shirt, Basic Rights also offers thick cotton tees, denim jackets, jeans, and trousers - every piece crafted with attention to detail.

Their trousers, for example, feature adjustable side waistbands, so you can leave the belt at home.


Basic Rights ships internationally, including to Vietnam, with a $25 shipping fee via USPS. If you’ve got your eye on a few pieces, team up with friends to split the shipping cost. Their sizing is straightforward too, with sizes ranging from 0 to 4 (equivalent to XS to XL), so finding your fit is a breeze.
