Wish you can skate?
It’s not surprising to see more famous faces riding around town on skateboards these days.
Even Blake Lively, Kate Middleton, and More Celebrities With Boards. Why not join them?
Skateboarding is more and more popular every day, but not everyone has the talent to shred the streets. If you’re like me, you can shred your style by wearing skate wear. Then take some cool pictures for social media and let people know that you share the skate love! Here’s how to do skater style like a model.
Welcome to the world of model skaters.
The key to nailing your OOTD? It’s all about mixing and matching skate classics with your everyday pieces.
Take the slip dress: You can easily add some shred to the slinky number with a THRASHER Spring 2018 hoodie/T-shirt and a pair of classic skate shoes.
A logo white T-shirt and a pair of classic checker-print Vans can all be worn with some wild-care flair thanks to a striped ribbed knit dress. Not a bad way to lend some edge to your ensemble—whether you accessorize with a skateboard or not. Actually paraphernalia from Thrasher magazine, the Tee has become a rising staple in the real model-off-duty wardrobe of any catwalker worthy of their Instagram following.
Which brings us back to the question: How has a T-shirt best known by rail-grinding skateboarders become a wardrobe staple for a set of cool-girl models and on point for cool guys, too? We have some theories:
The piece comes with a certain skater reputation that’s synonymous with a youthfully rebellious distaste for authority and a vintage appeal.
There’s a roughed-up appeal to the skater lifestyle that seems contrary to that of the model, whom, you’d imagine, would put preserving her limbs at a precedent but which is part and parcel of the appeal for self-professed “bad girls” like Walton and Boling, and makes for something that can instantly add a dose of hardness to any polished ensemble.
“I started wearing a Thrasher tee once I finally felt confident enough to take to the streets on a board. I think you need to earn a few bruises before you can officially start wearing one,” says Vogue.com Style Editor Barsamian.
Yes, it’s time for you to join the skateboarding topic and be a skatewear OOTD expert on social media!
So get your butt moving before and live the dream!

The Hundreds X Amoeba Music
“I’ve never been about the money. I’ve always been about spreading the gospel of music and what it can mean for humanity… I just love the spiritual connection people have with their artists and their music.” -Amoeba co-founder Marc Weinstein
Amoeba Music is not only the world’s largest independent record store—it’s a cultural institution that champions the spirit of music. The Hundreds was founded by music lovers – a hardcore kid and a hip-hop head – so we’re extra proud to present our The Hundreds X Amoeba Music collection.
The Hundreds and Amoeba Music are excited to announce The Hundreds X Amoeba Music, a limited-edition capsule collection and collaboration!
Late last month, The Hundreds collaborated with legendary hip-hop label Rawkus Records on a special joint collection that paid tribute to the record company’s storied history. Continuing to mine the brand’s musical influences, The Hundreds now teams up with world-renowned record store Amoeba Music for another collaborative effort that bridges the gap between music and streetwear.
The Hundreds X Amoeba Music collection includes a series of short-sleeve and long-sleeve T-shirts, a pullover, tote bag, and hat all utilizing dip-dye techniques and a bold version of the classic Amoeba logo.
A limited-edition offering, The Hundreds and Amoeba Music’s collaborative capsule delivers a graphic-heavy range of new t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and hats. Notably, a large portion of the designs featured in the collection utilize a unique dip-dye method, allowing those particular items to stand out from the rest. Graphic motifs from the long lineages of both brands can be found in this new collaboration, making for an artfully-branded collection that proudly displays its affiliations.
You can purchase the limited-edition T-shirts, sweatshirts & more at our stores starting June 7th.
You can take a look at The Hundreds and Amoeba Music’s new collaborative collection above, and you can expect to find the capsule’s wares on the shelves on Amoeba Music locations and The Hundreds Los Angeles, and online at The Hundreds’ official website.

What an Odd Future in 2018
Odd Future is much more than a hip-hop collective, it’s a dope clothing line with you in mind. And it’s founding member is everywhere.
Tyler, The Creator’s new track “OKRA” might be a “throwaway,” but there’s no doubt that the rapper could’ve included this on an upcoming project.
The booming bass looms throughout the verse is reminiscent of some of the his earlier work. However, the melodies on the hook change the tone of the song before jumping right back into the dark side.
The song’s currently on YouTube, but look out for it to drop on Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming services tonight.
Hopefully, Tyler ends up dropping this on his upcoming tour dates. Like Coachella! In addition, he’s a headliner for Afropunk’s Brooklyn Festival. Keep your eyes peeled for that. Whether or not you can hit music tour, how about chillin’ with Odd Future styles?
Odd Future clothing includes T-shirts hoodies, and accessories that are sold through the collective’s online store, and are defined by their bold, playful motifs and use of eye-catching colors.
So what are you waiting for? Support your favorite hip-hop group, and show off your Odd Future styles by wearing their iconic donut logo T-shirts and other sick styles.
