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.:doh:

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!:

yeah...
it's pretty much all about the socks...
:p...


*and i have professed my love for socks in other threads...

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).
