Dressing your little skater in training: Infant skate styleSo, you think your child is the next pro-skater in line? Well, its time to start molding that tike into the street-wise trickster that we all see riding down the streets. So, how do you dress your child in a fashion-forward manner that will help key off the pro-skateboarding desire? Well, that’s quite easy. In this article, we will focus on the how’s, what’s, and why’s about dressing your infant or toddler like a skater.
This week's top selling alternative infant attire and gifts:
The first thing to realize about dressing your child like a skater, is that comfort is key. In any child’s fashion this should come first, however it is truly exhibited in the un-relenting style of skaters. Secondly, remember not to think too hard generally speaking, the skater trends are an easy throw me on style, that allows the person to get out the door, and hitting the half pipe as quickly as possible. You will need to invest in some baby, or toddler skater shoes. This of course will cost a bit more than your average sneaker. However, they tend to last much longer and stand up to the every day wear and tear, that your child will surely put on them. Many skater fashion companies such as Vans,Fallen, and Lakai produce these pint-sized shoes, so you should be able to find them anywhere from the local shoe-store, board shop, or I’ve even spotten them at Toys R Us in the clothing department. You can generally expect to pay anywhere from twenty, to sixty dollars on a pair of these cool sneaks. Generally speaking, the hair-style doesn’t seem to matter. Whatever is comfortable (there’s that word again.), and seemingly un-inhibited. Styles such as a shaggy doo, spiky, or simply just messy all work with this style fairly well. While you are choosing the clothing that is right for your child, keep in mind that skaters can wear pretty much any type of shirt. This will depend on the comfort level, and your taste of shirts. Select either a short, or long sleeved shirts, whether they are skater brand shirts or casual tees or One pieces it doesn’t really matter too much. Remember, you need to look for comfort first, and then fashion. When selecting pants, once more I cannot stress enough how important comfort is. Buy pants that enable flexibility, as when your child is romping around with there tike-sized skate board, this will be important. As far as outer wear goes, depending on the climate of where you live, I would suggest hoodies, mock hoodie coats. Origins of the Gothic subculture and fashion scene |
