Why wear a skirt skateboarding?  I don’t skateboard because I’m trying to be a boy – I’m a girl and I’m a proud girl. Skirts are fun and fashionable so why not wear one that is skate friendly. Here are my personal thoughts on what makes a skirt skate friendly.

If you’re planning on just cruising any skirt that allows you to push and doesn’t get stuck in wheels will work. If you’re more adventurous – I advise above the knee to allow for pushing.

I favor skater style over pencil style because a skater skirt will flow up & twirl not creep up & have to be pulled down. At least when I’m skating, I don’t want to be adjusting my skirt.

As for material, I’m aware latex is currently a fashion trend and that leather is always fashionable but for skating I prefer a lighter more breathable material like cotton.

I’m pro shorts or leggings under the skirt. Why wear a skirt if you’re already wearing shorts or leggings – style the skirt is a fashion statement. I’m not the only skirt loving fashionista click to read Teen Vogues Top 100 cute skirts for fall!

On or off the board wear what you want and stand proud.
