Skate Jacket
When should I start wearing skirts or dresses to skating practice?
I'm in Gamma. I was wondering when should I start wearing skirts or dresses. I wear a jacket and skating pants right now. So, I wonder when would be the appropriate time to wear skirts or dresses. Also, what dress or skirt would you reccomend.
The time to start wearing skating skirts and dresses is when you start to feel comfortable in them and not like a fool. Most skaters, yes, you're a skater, wear stretchy athletic pants, yoga pants, jeans or even just leggings to learn to skate in. Those are all fine.
Once you feel confident enough and you know you are not always falling down, you will want to start wearing a skirt with a t-shirt and jacket. Then you might transition to a lycra or panne velvet skating dress once in a while.
Check in your rink's pro shop for practice skirts, dresses and warm Mondor skating tights. I would start with a skirt first to get comfortable.

You can also buy dance/ballet wrap chiffon skirts at dance stores to skate in and just wear them with a leotard.
