How I roll (skating fashion)

**Petit Lucille** · 12-09-2011

Let's talk about fashion, in skates.

Roller skating can be recreational, or a sport (roller derby, speed, etc). Summer on skates is a classic, and makes skating be stylish.

What are your skates like?
What do you dress to skate in?

Recreational skates: The first ones are my favourites, but they are not fit for roller derby.

i have white skates with clear red wheels...and a clear red stopper...

pretty classic...
they used to have red sparkly laces...but i got tired (too old) for that!...

last time i went i wore a blk silk top and blk shorts with silver sparkly socks...
*when i fell on my a$$ (which i totally did!...

...)
a very cute, well-dressed girl who also fell said to me...
"well- at least you have cute socks!..."

Socks, I gather, are skates best friends..

Currently I have astroblades (rollerblades) the same for 18 years I think:

But as I started roller derby, and in-lines are not permited, I invested in these that are soon to arrive!:

I'm having trouble dressing for skating, since pants and long skirts aren't fit for skating. But moreover if you wear knee-pads, wich you always should. I cannot wear any below-the-knee skirt, and all you are left with are short things, that you may not be always on the mood to wear.
PICTURE OVERLOAD AHEAD TO MAKE MY POINT:

Other aspects are that loved clothes could rip, specially hosiery.

Since the offer of styles is limited- and not that style-oriented, there are a lot of accesories to make your skates personal, like socks, as you said soft, pom-poms, or more roller derbyesque toe caps (you put them over the skates to protect them from scratching).
