What's going on Neon Nation

today we’re going over the Clothing and

Fashion of Cyberpunk 2077.

From Edgerunner Fashion to the color shifting

fabrics of Urban Flash to Nudists and Exhibitionists,

we are going to look at the vibrant array

of clothing options, popular fashions in Night

City, jackets, and fashionable cybernetics.

In The world of Cyberpunk, your look is everything.

Night City is a very shallow and materialistic

world where everyone wants to stand out.

Being judged by anyone and everyone purely

on the way you dress, brand allegiance has

progressed to the point of cult like worship.

Peacocking and being so extravagant that people

can’t help but notice you, gives you social

status, power and opportunities.

This is reflective in fancier clothing items

giving you more Street Cred, an in game statistic

based on how good you look.

First off in the realm of clothing and fashion

in Night City is Cyberfashion.

In Night City Cybernetics are not only functional,

but are hip and demonstrate social status.

Even if you can’t afford top tier cybernetics,

you probably have a few enhancements.

Perhaps A few software chips installed in

your nervous system to interface with your

computer, to remember your appointments and

improve your racquetball reflexes simultaneously.

If you are cybered up, you probably have interface

plugs to operate computers, weapons and vehicles

mentally.

Maybe you have increased vision cyber optics,

or scent signaling olfactory boosters.

Again, these are not only for functional reasons,

as cyber fashion is a way of expressing oneself,

and modifications usually enhance your aesthetic

as well.

Next we have the general styles of clothing

in Night City

First we have General Chic.

This is your everyday run of the mill street

wear.

Regular belts, coats, and boots predominate

this sub-sect.

This is the cheapest clothing out there, reserved

for street scum and the lower classes.

This is the kind of clothing you’ll find

in mega-stores and mallplexes.

Cotton is a luxury in Night City and thus

general chic is very generic clothing, and

also 100% synthetic.

Kids, Mall rats, and people who generally

stray away from fashion trends, tend to wear

general chic-styled items.

Leisurewear is Cyberpunk’s answer to modern

day Athletic garments.

Padded Fleece, and corporate and athletic

logos are some of the typical designs of Leisurewear.

These are sweatpants and shirts taken to the

level of designer jeans.

A real-world example of their signature look

would be the Athletic wear from the 90s.

It’s usually twice as expensive as General

chic.

Leisurewear are for people who like to look

good whilst partying or out on the town.

Urban Flash refers to items such as video

jackets, color-shifting fabrics, camos, leathers,

metal trim and logo wear.

This is the most outlandish and flashy clothing

styles in Night City.

These items are favored by Chromers and Boostergangs,

obsessive about their looks.

Rich kids and edgerunner wannabees usually

wear these kinds of clothes.

The latest trends are usually picked up by

clothing companies who make Urban Flash stylized

clothing.

Urban Flash attire are for dance club fanatics,

image-conscious mallplexers and metal-heads.

Businesswear is the equivalent of the standard

business suit.

Understated colors, pinstripes and real leather

shoes, and ties are the mainstays of Business

wear.

Natural fabrics are used here with wool considered

the proper outfitting for the up and coming

corpo.

A good mover or corpzoner wouldn’t wear

anything else as dressing like this sends

a message that they are in charge and in power.

Businesswear is usually around 3x more than General

chic.

Next we have High Fashion.

These are sophisticated and expensive dressing

options exclusive for the upper class.

These are the styles Urban Flash and Generic

clothing try to imitate year after year, but

High Fashion features quality materials and

workmanship that is second to none.

Braindance and Video-stars also wear High

Fashion designers like Miyake,

and Anne Calvin.

If you are in the trendiest clubs and are

wearing clothing that imitates High Fashion,

you’re a nobody.

It is twice as expensive as General chic.

Edgerunner fashion is practical and militant

in design.

There aren’t outlets you can buy Edgerunner

fashion from, they are highly personal garments

made of military surplus and sown and woven

together using a variety of materials.

Edgerunner gear is stylishly functional gear

that looks armored or combat ready, without

beaing olive drab military wear.

Edgerunner gear seems fit the description

of these jackets that are heavily armored

and padded that we’ve seen thus far in Cyberpunk

trailers and screenshots.

Edgerunner gear is meant to advertise your

abilities and that you are anything but a

pushover.

It also shows your worth in a high-tech dance

bar, or facing down street scum in the Combat

Zone.

This type of clothing costs 3x as much as

general chic and requires a certain COOL level

to wear.

Moving on to some of the more unusual styles

in Night City, we have Bag Lady Chic.

This is the embodiment of anti-fashion, and

is about looking dirty and ragged.

Clothing is made of recycled bits of tattered

scraps and mismatched layers.

Hair is usually tangled or in dreads.

The point of this style is to appear dirty

without actually being dirty and is worn by

Eccentric weirdos, bohemians and those trying

to keep a low profile.

Minimalist Fashion is up next.

IN a world where people treat their bodies

like sports cars and can be heavily customized

and modified to fit personal tastes, people

are not shy about their bodies.

People of Night City have also become desensitized

to nudity over the years.

This style is about dressing in little to

no clothing.

This includes full nudity, lingerie,

Tarzan styled loincloths and articles and

accessories that highlight the human body.

This method of dressing is for those who want

to show off their cosmetic surgeries or they

may be active nudists.

Next we have Exotics.

Now we’ve talked about Exotics in my all

Cyberware Explained video, so I’ll link

that in the top right if that interests you.

Body modifications that include grafted fur,

skins, hooves, animal faces, grown tails and

cats eyes are the highlights of this style.

It is incredibly expensive and requires extensive

surgery, so only the Wealthy usually partake

in Exotic modifications.

In modern terms these are called Furries,

and lots of entertainers and prostitutes have

clientele into exotic body mods.

Finally we have Naturalists.

Although these are rare, these are the people

who reject cosmetic and cybernetic alteration

as well as synthetic materials.

These people can range from technophobes to

people who believe alterations should only

be for distinct medical reasons.
