Which skateboarder has made the biggest style transformation during their career?

I’m talking baggy to tight- tight to baggy- rocker to gangster- etc

Some examples might include:

Lizard King (in slaughterhouse he was in between baggy + tight)
Chris Cole (dressed casual and loose then full on hesh 👀 @ you iSuck)
Sammy Baca (this one very confusing, full on AC/DC skinny jeans rocker to thugged out gangster on the block)
Elijah Berle (Duffel clone, the hair, earrings etc to casual dresser)
Greco (entire career)

Who else has made a fashion statement in skateboarding and then later switched it up in the public eye?

In general I like that baggies are back. Even Duffman is skating baggies these days. Cromer skateboarding looks amazing in baggies (LSD). Another example of how baggies can make skateboarding look so different is Breana Geering; I love the Janis song !

I could be wrong but I seem to remember AVE sporting cornrows and being sorta fresh in the late 90's/early 00's. Hands down the biggest change was Boulala though, went from Tom Penny wannabe to Seinfeld puffy shirt/coachella girl pretty quickly.

Dill. Pretty normal in Photo, starting to wear some weird stuff in Mosiac. Really enjoyed the wackiness of the Skate More era. Tall socks with same color shorts, Fashion mullet. Very early 2000s NYC. Cut of chinos, tucked in wifebeater and shaved head of Propeller years. Now he just looks like a more dad version of John Waters.

Ethan Fowler has had some good ones. Chinos and white tees in Tincan Folklore. All black mid-late 90s Nervous Breakdown/Art Bars. Leather jackets and Brian Jonestown Massacre inspired haircut in That's Life. Finally to stoner/doom metal long hair and beard of Catalsymic Abyss. Love em all.

Fowler seemed to dress cool b4 anyone with his goth thing. I didn't care for his long hair semi bell bottom thing. nobody mentioned c Cole which surprised me . He's a fuckin biff.

Haha, I remember seeing that photo of him in those little cutoff daisy dukes from a few months ago and trying reconcile that this was the same guy that looked like a serial killer giving the hubba a death stare in the 90’s.

I gnar’d you for this, did sniggered at your serial killer hubba comment and therefore somewhat understand your perspective. But it does make me think even more about how tied up skating is with clothing choices / lifestyles in this instance. I don’t really have a point here other than I both liked and hated your comment.
