Skate General

fucking poser
skating is about skating not the fashion.
>old skools
>cropped dickies
literally the trendiest shit

>>11561982
Ignore everyone who says fashion and skating don't go hand in hand. Stay away from large corporations like Zumiez, Boarders, CCS, etc. for clothing (shoes are okay).
My summer skatewear: plain T-shirts, dickies, and shoes that aren't disgusting to look at, as many are.
When it's scorching you should go shirtless. Socks and the colors of your wardrobe will give you a sense of individualism.

"I really enjoy skating and cruising around town. But my fashion style is a little off compared to the typical Old School Vans and Dickies with the legs cut short. I am willing to cop them. So help me get some complete outfits together or recommendations for clothes and where to buy them ect. Help me look the part "

Recognize the pool for bonus points

Also, saying that dressing like a skater makes you poser is bullshit. Basically every subculture has its own style.

Fucking low self-esteem fags, just skate instead of wondering how cool you look like while holding a board

>>11564200
Thats more like a cruising board desu

>>11561982
Literally wear whatever you fucking want and go skate, God damn you're the worst people to fucking be around while skating

That's the brand. Idk how old are the pants, I got them on grailed, there's a possibility they font make them no more.

I was actually just thinking about this today. I was skating in a parking lot and was like wow I probably look whack as fuck right now because I'm not in obvious skater garb and I'm a casual skater anyway. But then I said fuck it. Know why? Because skating causes the clothes. The clothes do not make the skater. Skaters wear what they wear because they are/were functional and have been ingrained in the culture of skating. If you want to appropriate that, fine. But when someone asks if you skate based on your outfit and you're forced to awkwardly say "nah I just kinda push around and cruise" you're gonna feel like a dingus. So I'd say if you like skateboarding and actually do it and try to get better, sure wear the clothes. Otherwise you'll look cool but your demeanor and realness will not be there.

tl;dr don't be a poser but if you decide to be one be prepared to feel whack sometimes

Fuck I got really off topic. Basically all in all if you can skate but don't dress like it you're still a skater. If you dress like a skater but dont skate you're a dork

>>11561982
In my opinion the skating fashion at the moment is simply skinny jeans or baggy jeans with a loose fitting t-shirt and really any skating shoes you want with a camp cap. But really skating fashion is laid back and you can dress anyway you want and that is skate fashion, just being lazy and not caring.

>Switched to some old ass basketball shoes
>They feel way and last way better.

Don't think I'll go back.

>>11564200
I like boards from the late 80's and early 90's.

>>11561982
if you skate and don't want to look homeless, then mix some basic fashion trends with the function of traditional skate junk. Slim/tapered jeans or pants (I personally love the Levi's commuter collection, pretty tough stuff), shoes with basic colors (avoid big logos, I wore emerica almost exclusively when I used to skate), and tees that aren't too busy (again, no big logos, and nothing too tryhard).

>>11562837
This is a really cool fit, even though my gut tells me those pants don't go with the rest. Somehow it works.

want 70's socal skate fashion to make a comeback so bad

>>11566960
Just get suede pro model (impact absorbing insoles) vans. You were wearing ones that weren't meant for skating.

>"fucking posers"
cringe, i cant believe its grade 7 all over again
who cares about clothes people want to wear
just skate

>>11562751
I want to punch him in his H&M, Topman faggot face so bad

It's kind've funny how many people are mad about mixing fashion with skateboarding, on the FASHION board. What, do you guys purposefully wear bad clothes when skating? Also, skateboarding fashion looks just like most other current fashion, but made by specific companies.

A shirt, really.

I was going to make a joke about how some idiot would probably call this guy a poser since his shoes aren't fucked.

But then I saw you replied.
