Developing a skate wear range

Hi, I'm currently a final year sportswear student developing skate wear focusing on posture, balance and protection and wanted some insight/ideas of what you wear when skating and what you look for in clothing. My design focus revolves around creating pieces that will help keep your posture and support you when skating.

Any feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!☺️

  • There's a posture jacket product for Ballet called Backalast that you might want to draw some inspiration from. https://www.backalast.com/

    For skating something like this that helps keep your body upright, shoulders back and head up would be helpful. A lot of people have issues with knees caving in but I'm not sure what kind of skate wear would help with that.

    I usually look for something (preferably black) really light and breathable like mesh, because I skate in hot weather. Also, nothing too heavy or bulky that would interfere with normal mobility.
