@refinery29 @r29style @brianaking @notcheetos Chinos or cargo pants. A hoodie or a tee. Laces or slip-ons. As far as sports are concerned, skateboarding is arguably the most expressive of them all when it comes to personal style, from the type of hat or helmet you wear down to the color of your deck. Perhaps it’s why beauty director @saratan, has always been fascinated by skateboard culture (though she admits to not being brave enough to attempt more than an amble on a longboard across her driveway.) Still, growing up in Southern California exposed her to the scene, one that was always associated with the “cool” kids — or more specifically, boys, who have dominated skateboarding since its invention in the 1950s. For our latest shoot, skaters Briana King (@brianaking) and Eunice Chang (@notcheetos) open up about how the skate scene has changed, their favorite things to wear on and off the skateboard, and how to find confidence in yourself and your own style.
