Featuring three skins from Adam n Eve—Mohan, Jonathan, and Dominic—I’ve put together three different shorts from different creators. First up are the Emerald swim trunks from PixelDolls, one of the niftiest shops in SL for its very wide, low-priced, high-quality selection. The shorts are available in a number of colors and, as you see, include sculpted attachments for the leg.
After that are the surf shorts from Valiant, certainly one of the finest brands of menswear that I’ve come across. I love this particular shade in blue (not least because it matches the Clouddancer eyes), as it makes me think of jewel-like, clear water off some tropical beach. Yet again, sculpties are used to enhance the look, though this time it’s not to make the shorts “baggy” but instead to provide pockets and rolled legs.
Last, but never least, are the Jinty Delight capris from Zanzo. Zanzo’s an excellent store, with an inventive range of skins and clothing from Theo DuCasse. I love the build, inspired by some Japanese shopping districts. These particular shorts were a hunt freebie, but if I am not mistaken, the Ascot capris are the same model (with a different, but wider, range of available colors).
To top it off, I’ve used the new Demolition Lover hair, which is a great style. I find the Onyx shade (on Jonathan) possibly a trifle too flat, but otherwise it’s excellent. Especially as it’s part of Jaunty magazine’s L$49 Sale for Dudes promotion—hard to beat 3 different tones of a high-quality hair for just $L49! Shag has a terrific range of male and female hairstyles, and it’s another store where I love the build—more-so, in this case, because of the exceptional photography and displays which adds some atmosphere.
So, if you feel like hitting the beach and looking good while you’re at it, now you know where to go!
