Skaters and Fashion

Skateboarders and fashion go hand-in-hand in todays generation. I wouldn't be surprised if kids nowadays are just buying a skateboard so they can get away with wearing the ridiculously stylish clothes that us skateboarders wear. I'm not talking about no multi-colored zumiez clothes. I am talking about some genuine skate brand clothes, not the stuff you pick up at the mall. Walking down the street even, I can notice if someone skateboards or not. You can tell this by the shoes they wear, whether they have holes or not, and the clothes that the skater wears. I can even go farther and say i could tell roughly how many years they have been skating just by the way they dress. The skateboarders that are just getting in the scene will most likely dress more "goonish" where the older and developed skater fits in more because over time he has developed a style for himself. All in all, skateboarders stand out from the rest of society because we don't live by everyone else's standards, we live as our individual self. That is one of the most celebrated things of skateboarding in my opinion
