Skater fashion


Its hard to say whether skateboarding influences fashion or fashion influences skateboarding. But one thing we can sure say is skateboarding has a favourable effect on fashion nowadays. Skaters are usually covered with hoodies mostly, t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, straight fit denims, and flat soled sneakers.



A lot of people believe and have said that skateboarding has influenced t-shirt designing deeply. It is said that the skaters made the personal t-shirt print design as popular as it is now. They knocked out print designs that were relevant to the skateboard scene and many big companies adopted it and have used it in promoting themselves.
Jeans too have been influenced by skaters too, not as much as the t-shirts though. From straight cut legs to more relaxed cut then massive baggy jeans for better movement. Though now its all washing away cause whats trending now is quality. On the other hand, now skaters are about the fit jeans mostly faded jeans or stone washed jeans, and if they dont have their jeans on then you see them with nothing but their baggy shorts.
When it comes to their shoes, they have their own kind of sneakers made for skating; "Skate shoes". Mostly Vans, Element, Zoo york, Circa, Elwood, Ucon, Know1edge, Dope, Ctrl, Ezekiel, Dcshoecousa, Matix...

Turtleneck



The turtle neck has not been a vital piece for a while , and slowly snuck back in 2012 winter/fall and is best believed to stay where it is now for a while.

As the atmosphere gets colder, the turtle neck is one good choice to keep you warm for the season. Its a garment you can use to keep you rocking your summer clothing during the winter period. One key to making this look work is applying something bold to it. Combine your coloured garment with a neutral coloured turtle neck top for an ultimate contrast. The turtle neck is a perfect attire for layering under boldly printed tops. Layering under knitted tops also look amazing especially when you mess around with length, texture and colours. it also does a great work layering with button up shirts but should be done very neatly and the turtle neck peeping out just a bit. It can also be used as a replacement for a shirt and tie and scarf. Wearing it with a coat will look very good.
