Those of you who have been reading along for a while already know of and may remember my fetish for things I can wear on my back. Now, I have a good reason for this. It makes sense if you think about it, I promise. In SL, we spend a fair amount of time looking at our own backs–far more than we do in RL, let’s be honest. It’s nice to have something to admire other than the plain back of a shirt or jacket. Some have suggested (ahem) that I’m easily distracted; I say I’m just trying to avoid boredom and add some spice to life.
That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

It’s not often that I mention jeans and tees here. I don’t have any particular bias against them, at least I don’t think I do–I like to dress down on the weekends as much as the next guy. It’s just that there’s so much else going on that wardrobe staples like jeans and tees sort of fade into the background. I mean, they’ve been done, right? Why re-invent the wheel?
Maybe because any wardrobe staple or even classic (think James Dean in “Rebel Without a Cause” if you’re not sure that the jeans-and-tee look is iconic) can benefit from a fresh take or new interpretation. For me, the Washed Look Jeans (L$120) by designer Tsubasa Ferraris of Endeavor are just such a fresh take. The photoreal textures are clean and clear but don’t just look ironed on, and the button-fly jeans look not just well worn but comfortably broken in, like your favorite jeans in RL. (more…)
