Modernist Fashion in SL

Its easy for virtual casuals to continue looking exceptionally cool in the virtual world when there are a raft of virtual designers producing wonderful clothing; the casual look is a simple one to adopt requiring only three essentials: a cool pair of trainers, a smart pair of jeans and finally a sharp track top over your polo shirt or shirt. There are many stores producing some great track tops, some basing their designs on real life classics like Adidas  or Tacchini et al. Of all the modernist styles the casuals look is possibly the easiest to achieve in the virtual world as sportswear, jeans and trainers appear to have a global appeal and are therefore readily available. However, to attain a cool casuals look you have to purchase the correct sportswear jeans and trainers, its in the detail. As ever with modernist fashion its the details that are crucial, in real life or the virtual life.

This fantastic track jacket from Style Extem, is a classic example of a fantastic casuals product. The fabric design and colouration is suitable retro, the high prim collar and prim cuffs also add to the retro eighties feel of the item. The striped design is classic eighties and thus peferct for the modernist seeking to axchieve the casualist look. If I had a tiny grievance its that the jacket comes with its own T-Shirt texture which resricts its use with other modernist items, but at a great price, 89L$, its well worth investing in, there may be no real life labels to place it in its casuals epoch, but the design screams casuals too me and hopeful to others as well. There are several cool casuals style items on sale that are well worth looking at; I have already spied several I would like to add to my wardrobe, just need to stash the linden cash in order to aquire them.
