Which one, in a few lines
Women’s cut or unisex cut? Choose the CORE Fitted Crew Tee (₹699) if you want a regular women’s fit that sits well on its own and under layers. Choose the CORE Crew Tee in a unisex cut (₹749, 180 GSM) if you want a straight, mid-weight regular fit that anyone can share. Choose the CORE Baby Tee (₹749) if you want a close, cropped shape.
All three are CORE tees from Solids: plain crew necks, made in India, made when you reserve them. What changes is the cut: women’s, unisex cut or cropped. Think of it as three answers to one question: how should a plain tee sit on you?

What “women’s cut” means
A women’s cut is not a smaller version of a men’s tee or of a unisex cut. It is a different pattern. Typically that means a shoulder width scaled for a narrower frame, a body that follows the waist a little more than a straight cut, and sleeves and neckline proportioned to match. The result is a tee that sits on the body instead of hanging from the shoulders the way a unisex cut can.
The CORE Fitted Crew Tee is described as a clean crew neck in a regular women’s fit that sits well on its own and layers under everything. “Regular” here is important. It is not skin-tight. It has enough room to be comfortable through a full day, but it does not add volume.
What unisex cut means
A unisex cut, or unisex regular fit, is a straight tee: the shoulders, chest and body are cut to work across a wide range of frames, and the hem falls straight. The CORE Crew Tee is a 180 GSM cotton crew in exactly this fit, mid-weight and soft from the first wear. GSM (grams per square metre) tells you how heavy the fabric is, and 180 is a solid middle: not thin enough to cling, not thick enough to feel warm.
A unisex cut is useful in two situations. If you share clothes with a partner, sibling or friend, one cut works for both. And if you like a slightly looser, straighter tee than a women’s cut offers, it gives you that without going oversized. For more on this idea, read our note on what unisex regular fit means.
What the baby tee is for
The CORE Baby Tee is a different idea altogether: cut close and cropped short, a fitted crew neck with a soft stretch that keeps its shape. “Baby tee” is the name for this small, snug silhouette. It shows a little of the waistline, so it pairs naturally with high-waisted bottoms such as jeans, joggers and skirts. If you prefer a cropped tee with a slightly different proportion, our comparison of the CORE Crop Tee and the Baby Tee explains it.
Stretch matters here. A close cut on a rigid fabric can feel restrictive when you raise your arms, while a soft-stretch fabric moves with you and returns to shape after washing.
How to choose: five practical questions
- Do you wear it alone or as a layer? The Fitted Crew is designed to do both. The Crew Tee is happier alone or under an open shirt. The Baby Tee is mostly worn alone, or under a jacket or overshirt.
- Do you tuck? A regular hem tucks in neatly, so choose the Fitted Crew or the unisex cut Crew Tee. The Baby Tee is cropped and is worn out.
- Do you share clothes? Then the unisex cut of the Crew Tee.
- How much do you want to show? If not much, avoid the Baby Tee. If you want the waistline visible, it is the one.
- What is your usual bottom? High-waisted things suit the Baby Tee. Everything else works with the other two.
Colours and what each cut suits
The Fitted Crew comes in all six house colours: Noor Black, Rui White, Agni Red, Neel Blue, Arav Green and Gulabi Pink. It is the widest range, which makes it a good place to experiment. The Crew Tee is offered in Noor Black, Rui White and Agni Red. The Baby Tee comes in Noor Black, Rui White, Neel Blue and Gulabi Pink.
- Noor Black: the base colour for every cut.
- Rui White: crisp on the Fitted Crew, easy on the Crew Tee, light and youthful on the Baby Tee.
- Agni Red: a strong statement on the Crew Tee or the Fitted Crew. Keep the rest of the outfit quiet.
- Gulabi Pink: soft on the Baby Tee, and the Fitted Crew as well.

A simple three-tee wardrobe
If you want to cover most weeks with only three tees, this is a sensible set: one Fitted Crew in Noor Black for work and layering, one Baby Tee in Rui White for weekends with high-waisted bottoms, and one Crew Tee in the unisex cut, in Agni Red or Noor Black, for lazy days and for sharing. Together they cost ₹2,197. That gives you three silhouettes, and none of them repeats the others.
Do not overthink the size
Choose your usual size and read the Size guide on the product page before you reserve, because each piece has its own measurements. If you are between sizes on the Fitted Crew, think about whether you like a snug or a looser look. If you are between sizes on the Crew Tee, remember it is a straight unisex cut, so the larger size gives you an easy, relaxed look. The Baby Tee is meant to be close, so size up only if you want it a little looser.
Washing keeps the cut
Whether it is a women’s or unisex cut, a tee only keeps its shape if you look after it. Wash it inside out in cool water, avoid high heat in the dryer, and hang it to dry when you can. The heat is what shrinks cotton and stretches out necklines. For the close-cut Baby Tee, this matters most, because its fit depends on soft stretch recovering after every wash.
The bottom line
You do not need to pick a “correct” cut. A women’s cut is tailored for a narrower frame, a unisex cut is straight and shareable, and a baby tee is short and close. The right one is the one that suits how you dress. Try the CORE Fitted Crew first if you want a tee that works alone or as a base under other clothes.
