Skater jeans come in various styles, from skinny to baggy, and can be clean or scruffy with patches. Skinny jeans are less likely to get caught on rails, but baggy jeans are more comfortable. Heavier jeans are more durable, but rips and scratches are considered part of the skater style. Some skaters wear patches for style or function.
Skateboards are worn by skateboarders and are designed to make skateboarding or skating easier. Clothes made to suit certain activities or to fit a certain style usually have a specific set of traits, but not so with skater jeans. Skate jeans can be skinny or loose, skinny or durable, and clean or scruffy and patchy. It really depends on the skater’s interpretation of the skater’s appearance and her preferences.
Skinny skater jeans are made to fit snugly at the waist and be skinny through the legs, calves, and ankles. The male and female derivatives of skinny jeans are almost identical, although the inseam is generally looser on the male versions. Skinny skater jeans have an advantage over baggy jeans because they’re much less likely to get caught on a rail or anything else, which can reduce your chances of falling off. One downside is that driving can be uncomfortable and doing tricks will be much more difficult if skinny jeans aren’t flexible.
Baggy skater jeans generally hang low on the waist and have roomy legs. The men’s versions tend to be baggier than the women’s versions. The advantage that baggy jeans have over skinny jeans is that they tend to be more comfortable and easier to move in. The downside is that if the waist is too loose, they can fall down and increase the chances of tripping when doing tricks.
In terms of style, skinnier skater jeans tend to be the popular definition of skater style in 2011, though heavier jeans are often more useful when riding. This is because every skater is going to fall at least once. Thinner jeans have a higher chance of tearing, while thicker jeans are generally more durable and will only scuff and scratch. At the same time, rips and scratches are considered badges of honor and are also part of the skaters’ style.
Even though wearing jeans is a badge of honor, some skaters prefer to wear so-called clean skater jeans. When a pair gets torn or dirty during the ride, some skaters throw them away and buy a new pair. Like everything else with skater jeans, this is a matter of personal preference.
Some skaters wear patches, ironing or sewing them on their jeans. These patches are usually from your favorite skate brand or skater. Such patches can be functional, but are often just for style. Patches aren’t as common in skater style as they are in other styles, but again, skate style is all about personal preference.
