Cyberpunk fashion is a modern fashion movement, seen mostly in underground night clubs. Influences are predominately taken from the post-industrial, post-modern, and particularly cyberpunk film and fashion. Aspects of BDSM fashion and Gothic fashion are often associated in subcultures.

Some common themes are: the contrast of black or white combined with bright colors; brightly coloured and often "extended" hair (e.g., dreadlocks or braids); very large shoes or boots (e.g., brands including New Rock, Swear, and Transmuter); luminous or UV-reactive materials; various forms of body modification; the presence of superfluous goggles (especially aviator-style); the influence of anime; and androgynous appearances. It is not unusual to see a cyberpunk wearing circuit board jewelry.

Cyberprep is a derogatory term used to refer to yuppie trends that reflect the flip side of cyberpunk fashion.

Locations

Cyberdog , a clothing shop in Camden Market, London, is probably the best-known exponent of this look in the region.

Much of the culture centers around nightlife or the internet; in the United Kingdom the former is provided by clubs such as the Slimelight in London, Electrotribe in Leicester, Nightmare in Nottingham, Chains on Velvet in Norwich, The Mission in Edinburgh, and Sin in Dundee. In the United States, clubs such as Albion in New York City show a strong cyber presence.
