20 Style Tips On How To Wear Skater Style (Even If

You Don’t Skate)
Saturday, September 30, 2017 by Jessica Booth

When I was in high school, pop-punk and emo music was huge – and so was the fashion that
went along with it. I exclusively shopped at PacSun, and my favorite brands included Roxy,
Billabong, Volcom, and Hurley. I loved to wear skater sneakers, casual tops, studded belts, and
beanies. I did not skateboard, but I looked like I could have skateboarded (maybe). Basically, I
was a poser. It’s fine, I’ve accepted it. I’m sure there will be people who read this post and think
it’s lame AF because they believe skater style should be reserved for people who live the
lifestyle. I mean, I get it, but also… whatever. If you want to rock the look, go for it! You don’t need
to have an actual board as an accessory.

Skater style is hard to describe. I feel like it’s a mix of so many different things: a little bit of
grunge, a little bit of normcore, a little bit of vintage, a little bit of early 2000s. It’s casual and
comfortable, but aside from that, it’s difficult to explain. I know what it’s not, though – it’s not super
put together, it’s not perfect, it’s not preppy, and it’s not traditionally feminine. It’s meant to be
easy, laid-back, and simple. And it works.

So, if you want to wear skater style, I’ve got your back. Here are a few ways to nail the look,
even if you don’t own a skateboard. Don’t worry – I won’t tell.

2. Wear a logo tee with jeans and sneakers. Preferably Thrasher. It SHOULD be Thrasher. I
mean, it doesn’t have to be, obviously, but it’s super popular and just kind of embodies the
style.

3. Skater style doesn’t have to involve sneakers – ankle boots with a low heel work well
too. Pair yours with ripped jeans and a striped tee for something simple and cool.

4. Pair a denim mini skirt with a cropped sweater and a pair of sneakers to keep it casual
and make it work for chilly weather.

5. One of the biggest things with this trend can be mixing super casual pieces with a more
dressed up piece – like a sweatshirt under a nice winter coat.

6. Keep things super easy with a cropped sweater, jeans, and sneakers. It’s minimalist and
still cute.

7. If you want to be a little bit more dressed up, pair a denim skirt with tights, Dr. Martins,
and a cozy cardigan. The shoes give the rest of the outfit a bit of an edge.

8. Accessories can make all the difference – show off some funky socks with ankle length
jeans and slip on sneakers.

graphic tee, and cool flat ankle boots.
