Skater

You're a Skater: laid-back, brave and happiest when you're moving. You don't need much more than good friends, a great soundtrack and somewhere to roll.

Your answers make you a Skater, the early-2000s aesthetic that lived in baggy cargo shorts, oversized hoodies, chunky skate shoes, beanies and a wallet chain that jingled when you walked. If there was a skate park in town, you knew every ledge and every person there by name.

What the Skater aesthetic means

Skater style came straight from skate culture: practical clothes you could fall in, graphic tees, worn-in sneakers and a soundtrack of fast pop-punk and hip-hop from skate videos. The look was relaxed and unbothered. It said, "I'm here to have fun, and I don't care if I get a little scraped up."

People who land here tend to be easygoing, adventurous and persistent. Skating teaches you to fall, get back up and try the trick again, and that attitude shows up in everything you do. You probably have a good sense of humor, a loyal crew and a talent for finding fun in unexpected places.

What it looks like day to day

Today, a Skater soul might still own a board, or at least a pair of beat-up skate shoes that are too comfortable to throw away. You probably love being outside, prefer a casual hangout to a fancy dinner and have a playlist full of high-energy songs. You might also be the friend who suggests the spontaneous road trip or the late-night drive-through run.

You also tend to be welcoming. Skate culture has always been about the crew, and you're the kind of person who invites the new kid to join in and cheers loudest when a friend finally lands the trick.

How to wear it now

Try baggy jeans or cargo pants, a graphic tee or flannel, a beanie and chunky sneakers. A simple chain or a canvas bag adds the finishing touch. Our guide to the Y2K aesthetic covers more ways to bring early-2000s style into today, and our list of things every 90s kid remembers shows where a lot of skate style got its start.

A quick honesty note: this quiz is just for fun, and these aesthetics are playful labels, not rules. You don't need to skate to be a Skater at heart. Your result simply says you share the laid-back, try-again spirit that made the look so iconic.
