Get your summer on with your Avatar, new clothing available photo

It’s a fact: Avatars can’t sweat. But don’t let that stop you from pretending that your little Microsoft persona needs better equipment for warm weather days. Yesterday afternoon, Major Nelson blew the lid off the hotly anticipated Avatar summer weather line. Rashguards, swim trunks, surfer hot pants and surfer dress are all confirmed and look idiotic on Avatars’ bodies.

If you don’t believe me, take a gander at the header image. That’s my Avatar equipped with the new “White Vest” item. He looks like an extra for The Machinist.

The full list of new stuff is available beyond the fold. As usual, the clothing options are free and can be found in the clothing editor thing. Get to it.

Male

  • Rashguard
  • White Vest
  • Swim Shorts
  • Surfer Shorts

Female

  • Flower Vest
  • Surfer Hot Pants
  • Surfer Shorts
  • Surfer Skirt
  • Surfer Dress

I think he meant hobo. Facial hair and a wifebeater screams homelessness.

That's supposed to be you, Brad? I'm getting more of an Anthony Burch vibe from that avatar.

"What the hell is a rashguard? White vest? Who comes up with the names for this shit?"

That's the name of clothes. They didn't make them up. Rash Guards (two words) really exist. Vests really exist. The color white really exists. I guess the general population of human English speakers came up with these names, if you're still wondering.

Rhetorical comment was rhetorical. Also, that is SO not a fucking vest, it's an undershirt, or wifebeater.as it's more colorfully called.

I dunno, I call it vest or wifebeater but then Stella is also called wifebeater up here so it get's confusing. And what the fuck is an undershirt? Who the hell calls it that? Sounds posh :P

Oh yeah this article was about avatars...hmm...who gives a rats ass, I fancy a Stella now

Rashguard?

Hmm, I consider a vest something you wear over a shirt. Undershirts are antiquated now I think, it's an old person thing I suppose, it's literally a thin cotton shirt you wear under your regular shirt that come in both sleeved and un-sleeved varieties. I don't know why people wear them, but I believe t-shirts were originally undershirts as well. My father still wears one. Shall we discuss overcoats next lol? And wtf is a "Stella"?? Not the character from A Streetcar Named Desire I assume :)

Runtheplacered, please untwist your panties. No need to be a douche about it. I didn't know that a rashguard was a piece of surfing-related clothing, but have never, ever heard "white vest" used to describe a tank top or wifebeater. I guess it's a regional thing, as Kris S points out.

But yeah, this is the dumbest conversation I will have all day. Thanks for making it happen, champ.

Blasto, he's probably talking about Stella Artois, a kind of beer.

@Blasto

Yeah it's a beer, called a wifebeater because of the alcohol content. It's a Scottish thing, we're all away with the fairies up here mate :P

And yeah Char I'm with you, funny though if not a totally random and pointless conversation :)

Oh and rashguard? It sounds like a slang term for a condom or something!

Sorry for keeping it going Char!

I'm calling condoms "rashguards" from this day forward.

A rash guard is something you put on when you make a visit to runtheplacered's Mom's house. *rimshot*

Haha, it's funny, I too was thinking what a strange discussion our's was to be having on Destructoid, but then I realized it was a post about 360 avatar clothing which made it incredibly interesting by comparison :)

That header image gave me the strangest urge to listen to a Motorhead - Inner Circle mashup of "Bad Boys".
