The Difference Between Penguins and Cats

I get cold really easily, which can be a problem when you live in the UK. When I go out I usually have three or four layers on, and in the winter I refuse to leave the house without a full-length coat and one of my ridiculous hats. I'm all about the log fires and roast dinners from early October til late March. 

Adam is more the sort of person who throws a scarf on over a tshirt, steps out into the open air and remarks about how it's "nice and fresh". That's pretty much what this outfit is about.

If you're going to wear a scarf, this one is definitely a good buy. Argrace have done a neat job, creating something that is as much a fashion statement as it is about defending from the elements. As a bonus, no fitting was needed. This crosses around the neck without any fuss, and is detailed to the ends with stringy tassels. Available in lots of colours, and Adam tells me there's a women's version too. I'll be all over that a little later.

Cosy is a classic tshirt. It's simple but striking, and available at the Lookr store in several colour choices for both men and women. Even with short sleeves, this manages to look warm and inviting, but if you did want to pop on another layer then a long-sleeved tee beneath would give you some extra coverage without stealing the style. 

The jeans are by Zaara, and I don't think this is the last time they will make an appearance on the blog. The texturing is spot on, with subtle shading, creasing and stitching details defining these as seriously stylish casuals. For maximum wear, three prim options are offered for the cuffs. All of them are superbly executed. 

The shoes are low top chucks from Akeyo. These are a good casual shoe, well textured with stitch and eyelet details, as well as lace sculpts. The pack comes with 'closed' and 'open' versions of the shoe, depending on how laid back you want to make your look.They're also recolourable, so there's plenty of wear to be had. 

The skin is from a complete avatar set from MADesigns. I'm not used to inspecting male skins in intricate detail (if you had me down for a pixel perv, you were sorely mistaken) but this one seems to tick all the boxes from my point of view. When you get close up youll notice the features are actually very soft, but the body remains well defined even at a distance. The torso is seriously toned, with downy hair on the chest and leading down from the belly button - the legs are also very muscular, so you may need to adjust your thighs to properly fill them out. 

The finishing touch is a watch by GOS. If you're familiar with the brand, you may feel GOS watches are expensive, but considering how intricate the pieces are, with no prim-count spared, they do make a good choice for the discerning buyer. They certainly stand out, so work well as a statement piece.
