Roller Skating & Fashion (part 2) – My Summer Skate Outfits

Thought it’d be fun to look back on some of my summer skate outfits! I love skating outside whether it’s an outdoor rink, a trail, or a skatepark. The clothes I wear at each of these places tend to look different.

Here I am below at the skate park. I really love this hot pink sports bra at the park for when it’s really hot in summer – I usually wear it with jean shorts or baggy sweats/ flowing pants

Here’s my typical summer skate park look: sports bra with baggy or flowy pants — there’s something extra freeing about my pants flowing as I’m flying around on the ramps!
This is me about to go on a trail skate. I don’t typically wear gear on trails. My legs and arms are pretty exposed so this was a daring choice to wear no padding… I had my helmet because I was unfamiliar with this particular trail. I really like to wear flowing dresses for cruising slowly on summer trails
Oddly enough this trail picture is also of the back of me 😆 — I think overall shorts are super cute and in the summer I wear them over a colorful T-shirt.

Sometimes wearing knee and elbow pads along with wrist guards can make a cute skate outfit look kinda goofy. I think people need to be careful not to sacrifice their personal safety just to look cute in an outfit! Myself included! Anyone can make gear look good – then again I’ll save gear talk for another post 😌

I love a short sleeved hoodie ❤️❤️❤️ and mehhh okay skinny jeans just because… I don’t have the footage, but more likely I’d be wearing this with basketball shorts or sweats
“Good Vibes” T-shirt with sweats — and the skates match the flowers in the shirt 😌 I’d wear this with jean shirts too if it’s extra hot in the summer
A favorite look is cut T-shirt with bright colored sports bra showing on the sides — also like this one because when I’m cruising around, the breeze goes through my shirt and it’s just really satisfying 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love this jumpsuit! I think I was just skating around my neighborhood, nothing too crazy — I wish I could find those hoop earrings!!
The last one I’ll put in this post is a sun dress — literally I only wore this so I could spin around and see how it looked – it did not disappoint!

So there you have it, some of my summer skate ‘fits — maybe I’ve inspired some ideas — I forgot to mention my hats I’m wearing, and man I seriously love hats… it’s hard to wear hats now because my hair is growing and unless I braid it or something, a hat isn’t going to stay on my Afro – I’ll have to figure out my helmet too – now this makes me want to research “helmet friendly black natural hair styles” — anyway I’m excited for summer!!
