Today, we’re going to talk about something that a lot of people care about. The perfect pair of jeans. We’re not limiting ourselves to new releases, because we’re going to talk about some of the best pairs of jeans in Second Life, some of which have been around for a very long time and which have become classics.
For example, (Iki) painter jeans from Torridwear have been around SL for quite a while. These jeans come in a pack of several colors with an easel and paint brush. Included are both a pant and an underwear layer, so you can wear these paint-spattered jeans with boots if you like. You can also wear your hip tattoos with the painter jeans because they’re very low in front! Because these are classic jeans, they don’t come with prim cuffs. However the legs are only slightly flared, keeping them up to date.
If you’re looking for a classic pair of hand drawn jeans, you have to see Nylon Outfitters‘ Sequin heart jeans. Dakota Buck told us about these beautifully shaded jeans with fabric that really looks like it’s stretching around your hips. Nylon Pinkney did a great job with the fading on these. And, if you didn’t already stare at your SL bum all the time, the sequined hearts on the back pockets will make sure you do!
Another great pair of hand drawn jeans are Tres Blah’s JuJu jeans. These well worn jeans look like they’d be the softest, comfiest jeans in your wardrobe. Since they hit just below the waist, they almost show some bum cleavage, but not quite! And the back shading gives even the flattest rear some lift.
If you’re looking for a dressier pair of jeans, check out Mischief’s NexGen denim collection. The boot leg jeans are great trouser cut jeans that come in black and dark blue. They’re a sleeker style you can wear with or without the prim cuffs. Of course, they do come with an underwear layer so you can wear them with boots. And they also don’t have patch pockets in the back, so they’re super flattering for any shape.
For great worn and torn jeans, check out Renegade’s South 59 jeans. These are the only ripped jeans that our fashionista friends mentioned when asked about their favorite SL jeans. In addition to ripped knees, the South 59 jeans have sexy rips right under your bottom. Also, the embroidery on the back pockets will emphasize your curves.
Finally, the best photorealistic jeans in SL have to be LF Fashions‘ jeans by Launa Fauna. Our friend Madison Carnot told us about these amazing jeans, and our backsides haven’t been the same since then. Launa makes several different styles of jeans, from the low cut Ingenues to the skinny Athena jeans. Each of her jeans come in underwear and pants layers, and they each have three different sets of prim cuffs making them incredibly versatile. But almost everyone we talked to said that the Trusty jeans, that hit just below the tops of your hips, are the holy grail of SL jeans.
No matter which pair of jeans you choose, Daphne and I promise that none of them will make your ass look fat!
