Skateboard Clothing

Skateboard clothing in the past was closely tied to punk and surf culture. Both were drastically different styles however, and they have slowly merged and evolved into many different styles of clothing. Baggy pants were popular among skaters for a long time, they provided a good range of movement and are still considered stylish in many circles. The ever changing nature of fashion has affected skateboarding culture just as much as other areas.

Skateboard clothing really only needs to have a few requirements. They need to be durable and have a plenty of freedom of movement. Durability is probably the most important attribute for clothing, if it wears out too soon it is just not going to be worn. Skating easily causes more wear and tear than other activities with the pants being the most abused. This is true for all types, including surf wear, dancewear

Another common feature on the majority of skateboard clothing is plenty of pockets including the much used stash, or secret, pocket. Skating in the wrong area can easily get a skater harassed by police and they have learned to protect their valuables. Roomy pockets can store plenty of tools, snacks, water and whatever else a skateboarder decides to pick up or carry with them.
