Modernist Fashion in SL

The classic Argyle sweater became essential casuals wear in the eighties, as the culture developed and broadened its fashion outlook beyond continental sportswear labels. The Argyle pattern was absorbed into the casuals wardrobe through their adoption of British golfing labels Lyle and Scot and Pringle. Some of these real life casual labels are available on the grid; however, Albion is sporting sweaters from two classic virtual stores: Juice[on the left] and Shiki,[on the right].

Both sweaters are matched with the brilliant Beck and Carter trousers which are so beautifully NeoModernist in design.

The black Juice sweater has a single diamond Argyle pattern running through the centre of the sweater, the Shiki design is much broader; it is this diamond weave work that defines the design as an Argyle.

Both of these items would be an admirable addition to the NeoMods casual collection, both are exceptionally well made and when married to the cool FS Design polo shirt in an alternate colour they give a sharp fashion statement, identifying you to those who would care as wearing an example of classic casual design.

The two most noted fashion stores attached to this culture are UK Casuals, who specialize in real life labels, and Dyn who stock both real life and their own virtual designs often inspired by the casual look.
