The best skater brands

For a more urban style than your average Adidas trainers, slip on a pair of this season's skate shoes. Choose from basic neutrals or dark colours with neon accents to brighten up your day, perfect styled with your favourite 7 for all Mankind jeans. Skate shoes make a real statement, and a pair of black shoes with contrasting bright soles can be co-ordinated with a dress or opaque tights for funky street-style.

Laid back Style

Skate shoes are not just for skaters either. They're for anyone looking to inject a little touch of urban cool into their weekend. Pair your Original Penguin polo shirt with a co-ordinating (or clashing) pair of skating shoes, or add some feminine appeal with pastel coloured Pumas teamed with a combat shirt and denim skirt for an edgy vibe.

Be Different

Cooler than your Boxfresh trainers, skate shoes are perfect for the individual looking to show off their unique style. They come in a range of colours too, covering neutrals to neons and there is a brand and a design to suit everyone, from laid back skater girls to full on adrenaline junkies. Why not change up your style for 2013 - leave your Pikolinos at home and be noticed in electric blue Reeboks, the ideal shoe for summer. Add a pair of wide leg jeans or your favourite skinnies and an oversized hoodie and you are guaranteed to come out ahead in the style stakes.

Something for Everyone

There are styles, colours and shapes of skating shoes to suit all tastes in the Stylight online shop, whether you're the kind of girl who loves bright pink styles or an urban skate fan, there will be something to suit you. Skate on over to on-trend collection and pick yourself a perfect pair today.

Edge Up Your Style in Skater Shoes

Skate into something beyond the half-pipe and consider a pair of these shoes for your wardrobe. Though skaters shoes are associated primarily with baggy shorts, tees and unruly hair, you can set a different impression that suits your personal style.

Add an edgy element to your everyday look with a pair of skater shoes.

Preppy

If polo shirts, cardigans and girly blouses speak to your aesthetic, skater shoes may seem out of your range. But you don’t have to turn down the preppy to make them work for you. Wear a pair of bright colored jeans and a frilly top with a pair of low top, white leather skaters. The neutral color will go well with your typically tropical and patterned ensembles. Forgo your go-to ballet flats and add a little contrast.

Bohemian

Boho chic defines your style identity.You love gauzy garments inspired by the spirit and aesthetic of the 70s— loose tops, bell bottom pants and crochet everything. Combine these free-flowing garments with an unexpected shoe. A floral long-sleeved dress and a high top colorful sneaker create an unforeseen but chic collaboration.

Minimalist

With you, less can always be more. Simple is your forte and black, white and navy are your color uniform. You opt for basic silhouettes that aren’t trendy, but timeless, rather. Skater shoes won’t be a major stray from typical footwear. Pair dark blue jeans, a three-quarter sleeve neutral top and black suede slip ons for a subtle and impactful look that’s anything but skater.

Stick to your sartorial ways while embracing these new kicks. You’ll coast through the fashion world with ease.
