Where To Get Cyberpunk Clothing

It can be very difficult to find decent cyberpunk clothing these days. Most of the time, the stuff you find on the internet is Goth, steampunk or industrial. As we all know, these genres have very little to do with cyberpunk and so do their clothing. Perhaps the only thing cyberpunk, steampunk and Goth have in common are the septum nose rings. Finding authentic cyberpunk clothing can be a headache. Luckily we have some advice on how you can get your hands on some.

Make Your Own

Ok, this might not be original advice but it is practical. If you need to go to a cyberpunk cosplay, you want to look your best and what better way to blow other people away than making your own clothes? You might be rolling your eyes because we are not all talented design and sewing-wise but if you do have the talent, what's stopping you? If you design and sew your own clothing you will be assured of its authenticity and it might even pave the way for a new business.

Stick To Basics

Have you seen those cyberpunk clothes with LED? They are so amazing. However, if you can’t afford or make one, stick to the basics. In the early days of the internet, cyberpunk and Goth were closely related. Wear minimalistic black clothing, paint your nails black and put in some nose ring studs and you're done.

Browse The Web

Lastly, don’t forget to search for "cyberpunk clothing" using the worldwide web. There are many places on the internet that sells quality cyberpunk clothing made by people who are into the genre. Yes, they can be expensive but this is normal since you have to pay for their time and talents. If cyberpunk clothes do not give you decent search results you can try "dystopian clothes".

The internet covers the whole world, so don’t limit your choices to stores in the US or Europe. Stores in Japan sell very nice cyberpunk clothes. Yes, you won’t be able to understand them and it takes a while to figure everything out, just don’t forget to convert your purchases to your currency so you won’t get too shocked when you get your bill.

Go Out And Buy Some Clothes

Buying retail is such a big hassle but if you want affordable cyberpunk apparel, you have to go out and get them yourselves. First, try to see if there are specialty shops near you. If not, then you can always visit boutiques and then department stores. There are many shops that sell "basic" clothing so you will have choices in these stores.

While you’re at it, you can buy some accessories too. Look for boots, belts, minimalist nose ring styles and bags.

Remember not all black clothing is cyberpunk. Mix it up with browns and grays. However, stay away from yellows and other pastels!

Another alternative is to go to second hand shops. You can find cool leggings, scruffy black boots and distressed jackets and jeans.

Make sure your cyberpunk clothing is functional. It should have pockets, zippers and heavy duty snaps. The fun is really in the hunt and watching the reaction of your friends when you wear a new set of clothing.
