When it comes to skating competitions, skate lessons, or skating practice, comfortable, breathable clothing rules the rink. But what do you wear to a skating birthday party, on a roller skating date, or when you want to dress to impress in those Instagram pics? Skate World Pasadena has you covered with our roller-skating style guide.

What to Wear to a Skating Rink

1. Jeans. Everybody owns a pair of stretchy denims, and these are a go-to style choice for a “casual but cute” vibe at the skating rink. Pair with a cozy t-shirt for a day out with the family or a cute blouse or button up for a retro skate date.
2. Shorts. High waisted shorts are still in fashion, and good thing, too! Nothing says “90’s inline skater” or “60’s skating queen” like high waisted shorts and a tasteful crop top. Shorts are a great look for guys, too. Pair classic khakis or colorful linen shorts with a printed short-sleeve button down. Going for comfort? Wear loose, stretchy print shorts with a solid color top.
3. Activewear. Athletic gear is getting cuter and cuter, and we’re totally onboard with the effortless style it affords. For a look that’s perfect for pics, tricks, and everything in between, try a breezy top and moisture-wicking yoga leggings with a fun print or mesh inlay. For the guys, athletic shorts and screen-printed tees are always a solid choice.
4. Dresses. As long as they’re comfortable, dresses are the perfect pick for a day at the rink. Pair with spandex shorts to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions, and you’re ready to roll.
5. Whatever strikes your fancy! We want to see you show off your skating style. From your head to your toes, your style is totally unique. Top off your look with a fun accessory like a sparkly headband or superhero laces for your roller-skates. And don’t forget to mention Skate World Pasadena when you post your pics online!
