The young skater you can see on the picture wears a light yellow oversized t-shirt, what is very popular in combination with dark in this case black skinny jeans. The colour contrast is very nice and makes the light yellow appear more shinny.
Combining clunky shoes with a delicate and even a bit feminine outfit like he does, is very popular in the skate scene. Not only because it looks stylish, but also because skaters need robust shoes. Clunky shoes are as well an element adopted from the eighties. I think the black sneakers with the white shoelaces look quite unique and make him appear clumsy.


The girl on this picture is the only feminine skater I saw that day. She wears tight blue skinny jeans in combination with a black and white striped tank top. This reminds me a bit of the sailors look. She wears quite clunky and rather boyish sneakers since she needs them for skating.
She proudly holds her skateboard in her left hand, but still has the impression of being a bit shy since she’s holding on her tank top, what for me is a sign of shyness.
The fashion of girls in the skate scene completely changed in the past years as you can see pretty well on the picture.
I remember when I was younger, girls and especially the ones that skated used to wear loose pants with a rather boyish and oversized t-shirt. The sneakers were even more clunky and a girl would have never worn make-up. Tight t-shirts, so that you could see the feminine figure of a girl would never have been worn. The fashion was very much dominated by the American or Australian bands like Avril Lavigne that dressed that way. But as the music and the role models change the fashion changes as well.
Girls want to be more fashionable and automatically are more interested in fashion. They want to be grown up women who dress more feminine.


The first thing I recognized while regarding this picture was the intensive red colour of this young skater’s woollen hat. His clothes are very simple with a lot of natural-coloured items. When you look closely you can see that he’s wearing shoelaces as a belt. It is a very popular thing in the skate scene all over Europe to use shoelaces as a belt.


Apparently the young man on the picture likes to be in the centre of attention since he poses so nice. Again you can see someone wearing a striped t-shirt only that this design is blue and white striped what again reminds me of the sailors look. He wears skinny jeans in combination with clunky shoes.

This young man wears an oversized t-shirt like the one on image 19. The screaming woman printed on the t-shirt is decorated with stars that are coloured in blue and yellow. The brand “neff” is quite popular in the skate scene. Like many other brands focuses on bringing back the eighties style. The font used on this t-shirt reminds me of eighties album covers as well as the coloured stars printed on it. He combines the t-shirt with simple washed out black skinny jeans and typical skate sneakers.


The cut of the t-shirt the skater on this picture wears is very special and unique since it falls extraordinary and beautifully. It has a very wide cut v-neck what makes the t-shirt interesting. The washed out olive green colour of the t-shirt matches his grey skinny jeans. On this image you can see yet again shoelaces used as a belt. Because of the blue ends of the shoelaces they are quite special. He wears clunky skate sneakers and his shoelaces are different coloured.



The turquoise coloured carhartt t-shirt the young boy wears, makes a beautiful contrast to the intense black skinny jeans that seem to be too large as you can see by the gather at the lower leg. Like the boy in image 24 he has different coloured shoelaces.
I met this young skater on my way to the skate park. As you probably can see, I took this picture at the railway station. Again someone on my blog wears a striped t-shirt. The special and loose cut of the t-shirt makes it fall good. The colour combination of his clothes is quite unusual. He combines burgundy skinny jeans with simple red shoelaces that he uses as belt.
