Cyberpunk 2077 did something no film or novel in the genre managed: it wrote a fashion system. Night City does not have one look, it has four, each with a name, a philosophy and a social class attached. That is why "Cyberpunk 2077 inspired clothing" is a real search and "Blade Runner inspired clothing" mostly is not. The game gave people a vocabulary.
This guide translates those four styles into clothes you can wear to work, to a con or to the supermarket without looking like you are in costume. One thing first: NEOMACHI is not affiliated with CD Projekt Red, and nothing here is official merchandise. Everything below is original design inspired by the same influences the game drew on, which is exactly the point of the last section.
The four styles of Night City
CD Projekt Red published the four visual styles as concept art before the game launched in 2020. The taglines are theirs; the real-world translation is ours.
| Style | Tagline | Who wears it in-game | Real-world translation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entropism | Necessity over style | People who cannot afford to care | Function-first basics: hoodie, joggers, muted colours |
| Kitsch | Style over substance | Street culture nostalgic for a louder past | Colour and graphics: printed tees, bold back prints |
| Neomilitarism | Substance over style | Corporate security and the people who report to it | Clean lines: bomber, windbreaker, black on black |
| Neokitsch | Substance and style | The rich, for whom both are affordable | Premium fabrics and finish: parka, premium bomber |
Most people who play the game end up dressing V in one of these consistently, and most people who search for this clothing already know which one they are. Find your column and skip to it.
Entropism in real life: function first
Entropism is what the game's designers described as design shaped by a lack of means. It is the clothing of people who need things to work and cannot afford them to be beautiful, which in Night City is most people. In practice it is the most wearable style of the four, because it is built from garments you already own.
The formula is a heavy hoodie, joggers that taper, and colours that stay out of the way: black, faded grey, oxidised orange as the only accent. Graphics, if any, are small, technical and look like they were printed for a reason rather than for decoration.
Shop the look: SYSTEM 7 hoodie (industrial schematics, a unit number, signal orange), SYSTEM 7 joggers, and a plain black tee underneath. The whole range of cyberpunk hoodies and joggers is where Entropism lives.
Kitsch in real life: colour and graphics
Kitsch is the loud one: flashy, bold and, in the game's own words, usually cheap. Gold-plated cyberware, bright plastics, exaggerated makeup, an entire street culture nostalgic for a version of the past that never quite existed. It is the style people picture when they hear "cyberpunk", and the one most likely to tip into costume if you copy it literally.
The trick in real life is to keep the silhouette plain and put all the Kitsch into one graphic. A dark tee with a dense, colourful back print does what a neon jacket and a chrome arm do in the game, and you can wear it on a Tuesday. Japanese-inspired imagery belongs here: kaiju, kabuki, tigers, dragons, drawn with the kind of saturation the style demands.
Shop the look: GOJIRA tee, KABUKI tee, TORA hoodie. Browse cyberpunk t-shirts for the rest, and read why the cyberpunk colour palette works before you pair a printed tee with a printed hoodie. One loud piece per outfit.
Neomilitarism in real life: the bomber and clean lines
Neomilitarism is the corporate style: cold, sharp, modern, designed to make the wearer look ready to step out of a corporate aircraft into a firefight. In the game it belongs to security contractors and the executives who employ them. Out of the game, it is simply the best-dressed of the four, because it is built on a garment that has been in fashion for seventy years.
The bomber jacket is the whole style. Black or dark olive, minimal branding, a fit that sits close at the shoulder and stops at the hip. Under it, a plain tee or a fine sweater. Trousers with a straight or slightly tapered leg. The only graphics are small, structured and placed where a unit patch would go. People now search for "neomilitarism clothing" as a term of its own, and this is why: it is the style that looks best on an ordinary street.
Shop the look: 5AMUR41 jacket (Bushido rebuilt in ones and zeros), EVO windbreaker for the lighter version, EIKOU tee underneath. All cyberpunk bombers are here; the jackets guide explains the difference between a bomber, a windbreaker and a parka if you are choosing one to build around.
Neokitsch in real life: the premium look
Neokitsch belongs to the people at the top of Night City: infinite wealth, infinite vanity, and the ability to look like anything they want. In the game it means exotic materials, metallic finishes and cyberware worn as jewellery. Out of the game, translate the money rather than the metal: heavier fabrics, better construction, one statement piece that is obviously the most expensive thing in the outfit.
That usually means a long coat or a premium bomber over an otherwise restrained fit. The graphic can be large, but it should be drawn, not printed from a stock library, and the rest of the outfit should be quiet enough to let it work.
Shop the look: SHINIGAMI premium bomber, EIKOU parka, OROCHI hoodie with the sleeve print showing under the coat. More in parkas and bombers.
Where the styles came from
None of the four styles was invented from nothing. Entropism is 1990s techwear and workwear seen through poverty. Kitsch is the neon-and-plastic street culture of 1980s Tokyo and Los Angeles. Neomilitarism is the corporate-security aesthetic of every cyberpunk film since 1982. Neokitsch is high fashion with the budget removed from the equation. The game systematised influences the genre had been circling for forty years, most of them Japanese, which is a story of its own: why cyberpunk looks like Tokyo.
If you came to the game through the 2022 anime series, our guide to the anime that built the cyberpunk aesthetic covers where its visual language sits in that lineage. And if you want the outfit logic without the lore, cyberpunk outfit ideas works through complete looks piece by piece.
What we will not sell you: fake "official" merch
Search for Cyberpunk 2077 clothing and a large share of the results are unlicensed prints of the game's own artwork: the logo, the characters, the in-game brand marks, lifted from screenshots and put on a €15 tee. Some of those stores call it official. It is not. Using a studio's artwork without a licence is what takedown requests exist for, which is one reason those shops tend to appear and disappear.
We do not do that. Every design in our catalogue is drawn by our own artists. Nothing is taken from the game, and nothing is presented as licensed. What you get instead is the thing the game itself was celebrating: original work in a shared aesthetic. If you want the logo on your chest, buy it from the studio's own store. If you want to dress like you live in that city, this is the alternative.
Frequently asked questions
What clothing style is Cyberpunk 2077?
Four styles, defined by the game's art team: Entropism (necessity over style), Kitsch (style over substance), Neomilitarism (substance over style) and Neokitsch (substance and style). Each maps to a social class in Night City, from the poorest to the richest.
What is neomilitarism clothing?
The corporate-security look from the game: clean, dark, sharp lines, minimal graphics, built around a bomber jacket or a structured coat. In real life it is the most wearable of the four styles and the one closest to classic menswear.
