There’s something unique about skateboard fashion that’ll make you feel like you’re in a time machine set back somewhere between 1990’s and early 2000’s. In music terms, this fashion style is truly the ultimate mashup of Sum 41, Blink 182, and maybe a sprinkle of Billy Talent.

 From oversized graphic tees to classic Van skater shoes and everything in between, we’ve got you covered on the latest skateboard fashion that will keep you from looking like a newbie at the parks. Follow along to find out the top 3 current statement pieces that will help you stand out (and fit in) at the skatepark.

Top 3 Statement Pieces to Wear at the Skatepark

1.   Cargo Trousers

From a comfort and durability standpoint, cargo trousers have shown to be all the rave for skateboarders these days. Capable of a classic mix and match with different coloured tee-shirts or hoodies, these trousers are the most versatile on the market. Not to mention, this type of fabric is also super flexible, allowing for that extra give as you bend and move.

Cargo trousers by Carhartt or Dickies are both great quality, high performance pants that you’ll see in abundance at most skateparks these days. Once you’ve found your perfect pair, either roll them up or get them hemmed half an inch above the ankles to tie the look together.

2.   Name Brand T-Shirt

The classic graphic tee shirts are a must have for any skateboarder’s collection. From a streetwear perspective, simplicity is key. Even the casual one-toned tee with a medium or large logo printed on the front can complete the look for that perfect skater fit. Some of the staple name brands range from old school such as Volcom and DC, to the newer brands such as Anti Social Social Club and Bianca Chandom.

3.   Skater Shoes

What’s a skateboarder without a wicked pair of skater shoes? Since the dawn of time, or at least since the first Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game came out, skater shoes have become a staple item. Given the strong and durable grip along the outer sole of these shoes, it makes for the perfect traction between your foot and the board.

Some of the top brands that still persist in current skateboard fashion include Vans and Converse. One of the main reasons why these brands are still so popular are that they are built to stand the test of time. Considering the wear and tear you do out at the skatepark, these shoes are designed for the utmost durability.

From Skateparks to Streetwear

If you take a look outside, you can see how current skateboard trends have made their way into many people’s everyday streetwear. In fact, there are a ton of brands who have recognized this and adopted skatewear as a way to capitalize on this shift in current fashion. So, if you haven't skateboarded a day in your life, no need to worry! The movement of casual, comfortable, and retro skateboard fashion is truly for everyone.
