Going ice skating, what should i wear?

i'm going ice skating with my school in a few weeks, i want to be prepared. i think it's outdoors, but covered.


i was thinking of wearing a long, white kind of padded coat but would that be too awkward? what would be practical?


i know about wearing gloves to protect my fingers. i'd hate to get them chopped off. yikes!!

Going ice skating, what should i wear?
it will be cold, of course. a long coat might not be good, more like hip-length. dark jeans would be good, because if you fall and they get wet it wont so as much. gloves and a hat too, and warm socks. might want to have extra gloves, socks, and a sweatshirt in case any of it gets really wet. have fun!
Reply:I'm not answering your question at all, but when my mother was about 10 she won a scholarship to Roedean (UK) but her father would not let her take it up. (He died before I was born). So she went by day to a girls' grammar school and at night she went out to practise and practise and practise ice skating. As far as I know, she was extremely good, and it was what she wanted to do for a living. But then she met my father, a very handsome sailor, and she married him. So she went from being a multilingual, scietntific, mathematical female to a housewife ... The rest of her life is too horrible to write about. She had me and my twin brother. She was beaten, abused, and at 64 died of cancer, with only me sitting late at night in the hospice holding her hand. What a waste of a life. So incredibly bright. but just at the wrong moment captivated by a very handsome man. How many other women has this happened to?


I can still hear that last, unhappy breath. I can still see her, shrunken, lying under a clotetched blanket, practically a skeleton, and you find yourself just thinking WHY? I still think about her and I still dream about her.

Reply:Take a helmet so you don't fall on your head and get injured,gloves,ware jeans a t-shirt with a winter jacket you would look perfect have fun! Hope I helped.
Reply:I guess wrap up warm and wear some thick trousers like jeans in case you fall over.
Reply:sweat pants if its just with school, but if you take lessons, ice skating tights and ice skating skirt.
Reply:Ice skates!
Reply:Either black leggings (not full length, ankle length) with a jean skirt with a cami top then a "cowgirl" shirt outside of the cami (shirt ending below chests and is long sleeved) and the same color gloves as the cowgirl shirt. Or long, dark skinny jeans that come to ankles with a designed long sleeve shirt and small fuzzy gloves that match the gloves. you'll 'wow' every1 else!!!
Reply:don't worry you won't get your fingers chopped off (but do wear gloves) if your just going to be skating around a semi-puffy jacket is fine, make sure to wear layers so you can take off the jacket if you get hot. Also for pants wear warm sweatpants/yoga pants type things, and if you get cold easily wear snowpants, or tights under your pants
Reply:For skating outside, I would wear some knit pants or even better, a pair of fleece pants with tights underneath. Jeans don't allow you to be flexible enough and if you fall a lot and get wet, they don't dry very quickly, causing you to get more cold. The tights cause less friction than thick socks in your skates. Friction can lead to blisters. Maybe even bring a pair of leg warmers -- they're coming back in the skating world. They're not a cheesy 70's/80's trend anymore! We're all wearing them now! A long coat might make it difficult for you to move your legs. On top, I'd probably wear a t-shirt or even a turtle neck under a cute sweater or sweatshirt....maybe a longer one to cover your bum a little....that gets cold too! Bring a jacket or fleece -- something you can wear over your sweater or sweatshirt. Remember, you can always take off layers if you don't need them. You do want to bring gloves or mittens. I wouldn't worry too much about getting any fingers chopped off. While I have seen people get their fingers cut while skating, I haven't seen anyone lose any. More importantly, gloves or mittens are going to keep your fingers warm. Have fun! :)
Reply:If your going with your school you dont need any fancy equipment - ideal outfit:


jeans (flaired to go over boots) This is because you will be hanging onto rail at first and probably won't fall over so jeans look good but also casual. (or trakkies for more flexibility).





vest, Tshirt, jacket and coat (lots of layers for warmth) and your coat sounds fine for a beginner.


thick socks (to go in sometimes uncomfy boots)


gloves (can be thin ones)


Remember to hang on to the rail at first and only come off when you feel confident.
