If you’re trying to figure out what to wear ice skating, same.
It sounds simple until you’re actually standing in your closet like — okay but I need to look cute, stay warm, and be able to move?
It’s a weirdly specific vibe to dress for. Too casual and you feel like you just rolled out of bed.
Too put-together and you’re overdressed for a public rink.
There’s a sweet spot, and honestly once you find it, it’s one of the more fun winter outfits to put together.
I broke everything down into four vibes so you can just pick what matches your energy and go from there.
