Fortunately for you, you can wear jazzpants or a dress and be taken seriously, a serious male skater has a much narrower line to skate on, not just on attire, but the nature of the sport itself.
Hardly.....

BOY, do you need to consider moving to California (or New York... or just someplace where it's a bit less conservative!!!)

But these guys will probably practice in leggings or sweatpants, just like everybody else. The costumes are strictly for show!

Of course I know this is because females are allowed such freedom of expression through clothing while most males are not (or think they are not allowed) although there have been more extravagant costumes worn by males lately.

Some time ago, before skating was invented I think, males were the ones that wore extravagant costumes and jewelry (and even skirts and/or heels) unfortunately most males have lost such freedom and those who try are unwelcome by many.

Fortunately for you, you can wear jazzpants or a dress and be taken seriously, a serious male skater has a much narrower line to skate on, not just on attire, but the nature of the sport itself.

Well, here we go, veering off towards that discussion again.
