Extremely subtle cyberpunk

[Anonymous No.17966379]

How can you dress "cyberpunk" in the most subtle ways? Picrel is obviously NOT what I'm going for. I'm talking about something that's almost indistinguishable from a normal outfit but for maybe a single piece or some mild edge to it.

Reason I'm asking is because I want to larp irl but I don't want to go overboard because it'll stand out too much and ruin my opsec but a subtle twist won't do that, while still feeling pretty cool.

I might be a bit autistic as well but I just meant like not a total gay larp like you see those reddit dudes wearing full techwear where it looks like a bunch of random straps and poopypants with a laughably low crotch

that jacket is actually a pretty good amount of tech while still not being over the top

[Anonymous No.17967062]

Someone I know irl wears some water-repellent pants with a lot of pockets and looks fine as well, but you might be going beyond the limit if you wear more than one of this sort of thing.

Just get functional clothes. By that I mean clothes that are durable and have features in them but aren't totally flashy about it. Then you can add a watch and other "tech" accessories.

[Anonymous No.17967185]

>>17967087
I'd say I already have functional clothes. I WANT to larp, but only very discreetly if that makes sense. Maybe a calculator watch?

[Anonymous No.17967842]

>>17967185
I would say try to find something more futuristic looking than a calculator watch. Those things look very dated and scream nerd from the 1990s. Check out some of the newer g shocks, some of them have nice subtle sci-fi vibes. I've also seen some off-brand Chinese smart watches that look fairly cyberpunk, as a bonus they probably ship your data straight to Beijing.

I think I want to do very simiar to what you are doing OP.

check out the brand Veilance, I guess check out "Grayman techwear" inspo.

possibly shoes like pic related, only ppl who are cool look at shoes that aren't faggy dunks or whatever gen z is wearing.

I second getting a subtle g-shock. (I bought one for this purpose)

Right now i'm looking for a total weatherproof shoulder bag, cause I think accessories are easy to go partway cyberpunk with, people will just think you needed it because of rain and it wont look too autistic.

Korea and China are more /cyb/ than Tokyo if you're thinking techno hellscape. They're a perfect blend between old and new tech that's either brand new or jerry-rigged with an accompanying culture of authoritarian/corporate dystopia and a general cutthroat attitude akin to a post-modern wild west

I've had one of their Burr jackets for over a decade at this point, they make good stuff. They seem to cost much more now then when I bought mine, so they probably still make good stuff. It's proper dyed cotton so it will fade similar to how raw denim does, if you're a denim autist I can recommend it. I wear it all the time when doing real outdoors stuff so it's not like I baby it either, it's durable.

Come to think of it, one reasonable use case would be a watch which has enough power to do the basics which most smart watches can accomplish, but airgapped from wireless networks and thus aren't at risk of any sort of attacks.

Though I don't think anybody has actually tried to make any sort of attack on smartwatches. I wonder why.

Depending on size and preference, I feel like you could roll with something as small as a shitty Bluetooth keyboard to something like a 40% keyboard.
Personally, I'm now starting to visualize a cyberdeck that's just the computer parts and a screen in one unit, with a port to plug in your own keyboard and thus remove that physical limitation.

I think what I really want is more alternate form factors from modern cyberdeck designs, versus the somewhat standard "Commodore" or "briefcase" formats I always see bandied around.

Trash dropshipped garbage goes right in the bin
Save yourself the time and money and never ever buy a techwear piece that costs less than 200 unless it's a t-shirt
They are supposed to be made of functional performance fabrics and stuff
Generally places like this online store send you stuff that's too big or too small and very poor quality
I recommend you get deeper into the techwear culture before shelling out. The leading voice in the scene, other than designers, is the >youtuber thisisantwon. I actually don't like most of his fits but some really pop and he mentions so mamy brands and shows pics that when something catches your eye you can go look them up
Techwear is a massively varied genre and you can and should invest the effort to find pieces that fit your wardrobe well and start making fits you like with them.
Go and browse some online stores of actual designers like rosen-x, hamcus, arcteryx, acronym

He looks like a cringey little nerd and only shills his discord friends friends. Total shill.
Nothing subtle or cyberpunk about either.

>How can you dress "cyberpunk" in the most subtle ways?
Cyberpunk isn't how you dress. It's a state of mind. Specifically 70's/80's/90's future corporate dystopia.

Pic related is my cyberpunk 2077 character. I like the shorts. I could wear this today or in 2077.

I look cool. You are just too normal to get it.

but that stands out way too much. I don't want to stand out, I want to mostly fit in and have a subtle difference that you only notice if you're really paying attention
I could dress like a homosexual raver with cowboy boots and shorts and carry a nerf gun around easily if I wanted to

Looks really cool.

OP, check out this article if you haven't already, though I suspect you've read it already if you're asking about subtle cyberpunk.
