Ophelia's Gaze on Second Life Summer Swim Wear: Let's Hear it for the Boys

Exclusive to NWN, Iris Ophelia's ongoing showcase of all things stylish in SL

I've spent a lot of time talking about swimwear for the ladies, but don't think for a second that I would forget about the guys! I wanted to feature two pairs of swim trunks specifically, because they both have a feature I really appreciate-- prim bottoms. All-mesh swim trunks always look a little bit off to me, so I'm glad that there are more prim-legged options available. On the left, we have the plainly named unisex Board Shorts by Syler Morgwain of Doppelganger [SLurl], which is an excellent place to find swimwear for both guys and girls. I like the slim silhouette of these trunks, but if you want a slightly looser fit (or a more dynamic print), I also highly recommend the Floral Swim Shorts by Cereberus Noel of *GField* [SLurl], which even has matching bikinis available for your partner or bff.

I've got a must-have accessory for beach-bound guys, keep reading to find out what it is!

risey Arai of Sey [SLurl] recently released a bumper crop of prim-footed sandals for guys. Whether you like sporty sandals (like the Zipline sandals pictured above) or simple flip-flops, it's really worth the trip to shop at Sey. These are well-shaded and well textured shoes and feet. I did find that the heavy shadowing on these feet made them tricky to tint to match my skin tone, but regardless, risey has a real gift for sculpted clothing and accessories to the point of being a fashion-minded male's best friend.

With two more swimwear articles to go, I've still got two more categories to cover. As always, check back later this week for the next installment!

Iris Ophelia has been featured in the New York Times and has spoken about SL-based design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan.
