Modernist Fashion in SL

SoReal make some of the coolest urban fashionwear on the grid, and much of it is superbly suited to the NeroMod who finds himself inspred by the casuals and Britpop fashions of the eighties and early nineties rather than the classical retro of the sixties.

I have blogged their fantastic track jackets before; but such is their quality that I have no qualms in blogging my latest purchase from the store. My super cool "SOUL" tracket jacket comes in two colours and also has a plain variant without the "SOUL" slogan emblazoned across the chest. Fully scripted for resizing the prim collar, cuffs and belt to fit your avatar, a much more axcurate system than the click edit and stretch option often necessary to expand such prim items to match the male avatar shape.


Worn with faded jeans and classic trainers* this track jacket is a typical Britpop look, expect Damon Albarn to pop up behind you bellowing Parklife at you at any moment. One tiny flaw is that the design means the jacket cannot be worn with other items as the prim collar incorporates a rollneck creating a complete look, rather than the open collar design that allows an additional shirt layer to be combined with the jacket. This does not mean the look is any less for the design but it does reduce its versatility. The Prim belt can be omitted to create a more retro looking jacket, and I would prefer full length sleeves to the wrist rather than the pushed up option [oops thats two flaws, but strictly they are opinions rather than flaws]. These items tend to be in the more expensive range of virtual fashion but coupled with a cool pair of feebie jeans you will achieve a great look well worthy of the mod label.

*Soreal makes some of the best real life influenced trainers on the grid, expensive but brilliant. The best Adidas style I have seen, probably only Hoorenbeek compares in quality.
