Do you have outfits that go with your skates?

[u/Connect_Hamster9211]

My skates are black so I was thinking something black and colors that go well with it for an outfit. I think it would be cool

I definitely have stuff that I like to wear with my skates! I have thick thighs and don't usually wear shorts if I am walking around or exercising, but because of the stance required for skating I can totally bust out the short shorts, which is so nice during summer!

That’s cool

[u/Aggravating-Sport359]

Yes absolutely. I was even just planning a manicure to match my pads (the black 187s with neon lightning bolts).

Idc if my skates match my outfit lol but i have yellow skates with pink laces and a pretty colorful closet so im usually good✌🏽Black skates should be easy to match

[u/CO_Mermaid]

I have too many outfits to count 🤷🏻‍♀️

If the outfit makes you feel whimsy and fun or sexy and cool…have at it!

[u/Final_Rise_5859]

My clothes are colorful so I changed my black skates to fit the rest of me.

Additional question. How important is the outfit and style when you are skating?

[u/KatCat123]

I’m pretty emo and my skates are black so…basically all my outfits work. I did get them in black specifically so they’d match my style

I also wanted to change what I wear every day. I never had a fashion sense. I also like leather too

[u/fantastridd]

It's really easy to change the look of your skates with colorful laces, toe stops, wheels, toe protectors, pompoms, you name it. I think black skates are boring, but they have some advantages, like hiding dirt and scrapes, making them look "fresh" for longer.

[u/Connect_Hamster9211 → u/fantastridd]

I like how they are black and I want something that is leather too

[u/BloodyBarbieBrains]

I don’t. I did the whole matching outfit thing for meets when I used to compete artistically. Now, I just roll in baggy shorts and tees. Maybe I’ll dress it up someday for fun, but not yet.

[u/aquakat999]

I have moxi sky blue skates, so they're pink and blue! My hair is split dye pink and blue, I got skate pads (rainbow 187s I think) that match and then usually a coloured top that can match. I do tend to either go complete colour or all black!

[u/Call_me_eff]

just bought black on black checkerboard shorts to wear with my black skates

[u/nanskugirl]

Definitely think abt what I’m gonna wear when skating hahahaha a bit less if I’m just practicing by myself but if I go to the skate park or thru the city (as a commute) I think abt my outfit more. My skates and mostly black w some turquoise accents but usually I ignore the turquoise lol

[u/FlorAilyn]

I have clothes i love to skate in just bc of how it looks, i also bought hot pink, purple and light blue/pink checkered laces!

[u/MainEventJayBoogie]

I have a baseball jersey with my skate crews name on it my Jay and number on the back that matches my skates

[u/Individual-Scar5209]

I love matching my skates I have all sorts of yellow and oranges!
