+238 It's stupid how to be a skater you can't just be good at skateboarding, you have to wear 'skate' clothes too, amirite?

And most of the clothes marketed as "skate clothes" are way too expensive for an activity like skateboarding, where there's a huge chance they're gonna get ripped.

It depends on the brand. Altamont pants are so good.

You do need skate shoes tho.

Only with stupid, shallow people. If you go show off some skills in your preppy clothes(Marco's right in that the shoes do matter, though; more a safety issue than a fashion one) then people who skate are gonna respect you anyway. You might even be cooler for being different xD That being said, I've always thought skater bois dressed in the usual way very sexy. No dudes in skinnies for this girl.
