The pieces, which include hoodies, sweaters, dresses and skirts dawn warm and subtle colors of creams, beiges, warm greys, purple, and pink. The clothes are tailored for the female skater’s need for quick movements on a board, but also are stitched and designed perfectly for casual wear as well. Image / Info: Cool Hunting
