Pants for Skaters and Streetwear Enthusiasts

What Are Skate Trousers?

Skate trousers and skate shorts are generally donned by skateboarders to enhance their skating experience. Skateboarding trousers are organised into two categories: slim and loose.

Slim skate jeans and trousers are designed to fit closely at the waist and tightly along the legs, calves, and ankles. They are less likely to snag on rails compared to loose trousers, which reduces the risk of falling.

Loose skater trousers rest low on the waist and feature spacious legs. Their advantage over slim trousers is their ease of movement.

Which Trousers Are Best for Skateboarding?

The ideal skater trousers or shorts fit comfortably and are robust enough to provide protection against any surfaces during falls. While jeans are the most favoured, thick cotton fabrics—such as canvas or herringbone—are also excellent choices due to their resistance to tearing and breathability.

How Should One Wear Skate Trousers?

Straight legs with hems rolled up a few inches above the ankle form the general guideline for wearing slim skate trousers. Loose trousers may sit better with a belt. You do not want them slipping down when cruising or executing tricks.

Remember that skate trousers and shorts are not exclusive to skateboarders. Skatewear brands are renowned for their premium-quality and trendy products. With their stylish designs and comfortable fit, skate trousers can provide a cool, informal look.
