A Lazy Look!

I put this look together a couple of months ago - I guess I'll call it a make-over gig, though the guy backed out later. I saved the picture but unfortunately forgot to write down (or at least wishlist) all the items. So it took me some time to re-create the outfit and find everything in the catalogue again... but there it is! One of my first male 'fits that actually looks like a man and not like a wimpy kid of an undefined gender :P It's summery, casual and even though the make-over dude didn't appreciate it much, I still like this simple wearable look.

Avatar

I'm not sure which avi I used for this look, but definitely not my usual male emo wimp. If I were to guess, I'd say it was one of more masculine-looking avatars made by TheAvatarFactory, most probably this Macho dude. I guess this look will be ok for any avatar of your choice.

Head

Person who "commissioned" this look said something about liking George Clooney, so I got him this Clooney Head by BellaMicha. I don't know if it looks like good ol' George, but it's a pretty nice head  to be honest - no fucked-up proportions, a well-chiselled jaw, simple yet handsome.

Eyes

Even though I didn't save the link, I knew instantly the eyes are by nutsbar - I recognised the sparkles! I believe this particular pair is called cloudy forest. It's really hard to be indifferent to her creations, they're just too damn good. Some of her eyes may not look too natural, but I doubt IMVU is all about being natural and life-like :P

I didn't bother with the eyebrows back then... I figured a dude needs a pair of proper bushy eyebrows so I might as well stick with the default ones. But now I think I could have used some custom-made eyebrows in order not to look like a n00b. So just imagine my avi is wearing these Real Eyebrows by FrMesh, ok? Thank you :)

Skin

It took me forever to find this product. I first searched through the whole Nezaro's shop to find a few nice skins, but none of them was THE ONE. After a couple of days I finally came across OnePixel and this extremely macho Steamy Skin. This is it, I found the Holy Grail... I have to admit, I absolutely adore this skin for its hairy chest and for how manly it looks :P I don't like dudes with bear-like fur all over their bodies, but just the right amount of chest fuzz is utterly mmm'mmm-able.

Tattoo

It's kinda random and I doubt I'd choose the same tat now, especially because it's soooo freaking expensive - Chris's Leg Tatt (is it only me or is it spelt wrong?) by Exclusiv is almost 4K! That's a bit too much for something like that... Today, I'd probably take my time and find something less pricey and better-made... but no tribals, dammit, never!

Hairstyle

Another thing I was sure in this long-forgotten look was the hairstyle - RapSyn for sure! I really enjoy the creator's male hair, like this Black Sal. It's simple, well-made and reasonably-priced. Would recommend his shop to anyone because some of his creations are simply stunning.

Top

I like this mesh very much, and although I usually go for darker colours I decided to choose this Casual Blue Shirt by gustavomoura. It's nicely textured and the blue / yellow combination makes it look very summery and warm.

Bottom

SAL is yet another awesome designer... even though I don't own that many of his (I assume it's a 'he') products, I'm not freaking blind - I can spot a talent when I see one. SAL makes some pretty neat stuff., like these awesome L-Shorts, and is definitely worth checking out!

Shoes

From what I remember these Adidas Superstars by COBRA used to be on the front page of the hottest IMVU products so I just grabbed them without paying much attention to what footwear would go well with the whole look. But I guess they do go well, even thought I didn't think this over. I can't say I love them, I can't say I hate them. They are average and his other stuff isn't exactly fantastic and breathtaking either. So I guess  these shoes could be exchanged to something much better... but I'm too lazy to check :P

Accessories

The most important accessory here are the Perfect Hands, made by SAL (already mentioned somewhere above). They do make a big difference and look very natural. I think it's a product every guy MUST have (along with some perfect feet like these).

I didn't want my pseudo-macho guy to wear douchebaggy jewellery, so I opted for something natural, like this Wolf Fang Necklace. I chose this Cartholomew product because... well, because it was first on the list when I typed in "fang necklace" and couldn't be bothered to look for a better one. I should have thrown in something like this too... I start to realise how lazy and effortless creating this look was... not good.

Now, the bracelet thingy by HSH. I like that it looks naturally sophisticated - a tangle of threads, leather strips, beads and other stuff I can't even name. Some of the creator's other items are not too shabby, but not really something I'd choose  to wear as a dude. 

And lastly... what summery look would it be, without the hottest sunglasses of the season? Yes, I mean RayBans. Personally, I'm pretty sick and tired of them and can't really see why they are so trendy, but who am I to judge... I can only say that the glasses presented in the picture (and made by TheMetro) are well-done and go rather nicely with the rest of the outfit. And that's all.
