Tailwind CSS is overriding static css in Django

The problem I am having is whenever I try to use tailwind and css (as static), the tailwind overrides the static css file. I tried moving tailwind invokation tags after, before static css invokation, but it didn't work.

Whenever I remove tailwind from my template, the static css starts working.

How can I use both ? I need to use css file to change properties in django forms.

HTML-

{% load tailwind_tags %}
{% tailwind_css %}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>{% block title %} {% endblock %}</title>

    {% load static %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'base.css' %}">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="bodydiv">

        {% block body %}
        {% endblock %}
    </div>
</body>
</html>

CSS-

body{
    background-color: aqua;
}
