Oversized & Baggy Skater Clothes
Skateboarders and Baggy Clothing
When you think of skateboarding clothes, the first word that pops into your head is most likely “baggy.” (“Dope” or “dripping” are also acceptable answers, but they’re probably closely followed by “baggy.”) Baggy or oversized clothing has been a signature of skating culture since it began.
Why do skateboarders gravitate toward clothes they could possibly fit into twice over? Turns out, there are a few practical reasons behind it.
Better Range of Motion
Have you ever put on a pair of pants that you’ve outgrown? They probably feel a little more snug than you’d like? You may be hardly able to bend over in them, let alone grab your board to go out and perform a proper kick flip.
Trying to stick a new trick requires movement. The well-confined look might work for some people who don’t need to jump, run, or eat, but for anyone who likes to be able to actually move, let alone skate, having more room is a much better choice. Baggier clothes provide for a better range of motion than restrictive and stiff clothing.
Safety
Airbags keep you safe in the unfortunate event of a car crash. Baggy clothes serve as a form of buffer between you and the hard concrete in the unfortunate event of wiping out. With baggy clothing, you can save yourself from some unnecessary pain. If you fall while sporting an oversized Skater Haters sweatshirt, you’re more likely to save your elbows and wrists from scratches.
You may be wondering why skaters don’t just wear stretchier materials if they’re so concerned with being able to move around. Stretchy materials actually tend to tear easier, that’s why. Leggings are not going to [protect you when you fall down the quarter pipe.
Often skate pants are made from thicker materials, like denim or canvas. This sturdier material helps to keep your knees from sporting permanent road rash. And if you happen to get a new rip in them, they’re still going to look on-trend (maybe even more so).
Versatility
Baggy clothing is also able to accommodate all body sizes and types, making oversized clothes accessible to any skater. The versatility of baggy pants and sweatshirts, especially those that include drawstrings and adjustable waistbands, allow skaters to be comfortable and prevent wardrobe malfunctions on or off the board. Nothing ruins a skate day like your pants falling down. The versatility of oversized skater clothing lets skater focus on learning new tricks rather than on uncomfortable or ill-fitting clothes.
Skaters wear baggy, oversized clothing for functionality, style, safety, and adaptability. They also wear them to help fit in with fashion trends and counterculture. Baggy clothing call back to the origins of skate-style while still looking great at the skate park today.
The whole Skater Haters range of apparel and accessories embraces the skating style fashion trends we have come to know and love. The Skater Haters branded t-shirts, hoodies, and even tube socks sport the bold Skater Haters logo. When you size up on most clothing items you’ll fit in with the classic baggy skater fit. Layer up with sweatshirts or hoodies to stay cool even on colder days.
What Is Skater Style?
Skater style is more than just wearing baggy skateboarder clothes; skater style is part of a skater lifestyle. The clothes you wear at the skatepark, on the street, or in the classroom can help to show off your love of the sport and your unique personality.
The bold graphic logos and designs on your t-shirts, sweatshirts, and accessories display your individuality. Oversized t-shirts provide mobility on and off the board, but they also give off a relaxed and chilled out vibe. Skateboarding shoes should be grippy and practical, but wearing them to school or on the street shows that you’re always game to pull out your board.
No skate-style look is complete without skating accessories. These can include socks, hats, and backpacks. With any baggy fit, sporting a cool belt is important to help hold your jeans or cargo pants while you’re on the go.
Another skating style signature is the cuffed pants look. While baggy pants are cool and practical, extra length at the bottom of your pants can be dangerous and problematic. Many skaters will cuff their pants to help avoid them hitting skateboard decks and wheels. Cuffing means to roll or fold up the bottom of the pant legs. Cuffing can be done in large or small rolls or folds. Some skate pants come with the bottoms cut off to avoid having to cuff.
Sporting a skater style tells the world that you’re not conforming to conventional fashion rules and that comfort and practicality are important to you. The whole range of Skater Haters apparel and accessories embraces skater style. And let’s be honest, it all looks pretty good.
