Looking through my newest copy of Goth Beauty magazine, I spied an ad for a place that specializes in cyber-fetish clothing. Check out this link and see if you don't immediately start picturing your characters in some of the outfits they've got on the website:

http://www.cryoflesh.com/

I'll probably end up doing some mini conversions based on ideas from their website too. :D

Letsee the Victoria Dress and the Neo Longjacket that would be a nice ensemble for my hacker Violet

I haven't gotten up the nerve to ask it.

Actually, no, he's a he, and he reads these boards on rare occasions so I shouldn't be too mean. :P He's got a pair of goggles where the glass is red trefoils. (Trefoil = the old nuclear warning sign)

Erk, I didn't like any of the jackets for the guys. Some of the one for the girls aren't too bad, just some.

I like some of the clothing styles on this site and my end up borrowing some of the ideas for future artwork of my own as well.

Some of the stuff is alright but what's up with the weird Final Fantasy inspired stuff? I can understand trying to be "different" but 4 1/4" heels! WTF!

I liked some stuff but wasn't a fan of the pointy hoods and flaring cuffs on half the lady clothes.

hmmm... was visiting some shirow site, I found out about this group. They made the shrug (shrug?) that Kusanagi wears from Ghost in the Shell. They also have a bunch of other clothing from other series.

I never really envisioned 2070 as an explosion in a goth clothing shop, so this leads to the question, what do people wear in SR4? Are we talking Fifth Element or Blade Runner, here? Personally, I think the former would be a better match, though I thought the low-key changes in Aliens were good (at the start, where Ripley's being tried for blowing up the Nostromo).

I'd definitely go with bladerunner. Keep in mind, Fifth Element wasn't even out when Shadowrun started. I'm a little sad that Shadowrun doesn't have the throw-away paper clothes that CP2020 has. But in general I would say to expect a lot of leather analogues, jeans or tight pants, utility clothes, fish-net stockings. Lots of punk influences, so a certain amount of gender-ambiguous clothes (my punker dresses like David bowie from the Labyrinth with a bigger jacket and bigger hair). A lot of the 2050's. 2060's and perhaps even 2070's clothes should be 'retro' - remake of stuff we wore in the 80's, with a few more high-tech features.

1) The "Stealth 50" boots from the sale section would probably add about +1 power to a kick.
2) The guy clothes were pretty bad. That isn't to say that there won't be people in 2070 dressing that way, but I doubt they'd be anything more than patsy runners. IMHO real, professional runners do not dress too flashy or memorably.
3) I didn't mind the long hoods or flare sleeves. What with all the Dwarves, Elves, Trolls, Mages, Orks, etc. running around I imagine that faux-medieval is probably pretty popular.
4) I've never really adapted CP2020ish fashion for the future, 'cause things like real leather or cotton probably aren't that rare in SR. While there's plenty of environmental degradation and pollution, there are also lots of areas that have been brought back to an almost pre-industrial revolution state. Not that fake leather wouldn't be cheaper, but the real thing is still around. Again, IMHO that is the kind of thing a runner would indulge in, to display his taste and success.

heh, it dawned on me that the first of the jacket photos look remarkably similar to some of the "art" in CPv3 :P

If I was a meta-human I'd personally be making an effort to avoid any connection with all that medieval/fantasy business.

Flats existed in SR3, in the SSG. I recall a mention of them in SR4, but I can't recall where.

P 47

"your nice clothes from getting messy, gory, or otherwise
trashed), there are always “flats”—buy them from a vending
machine, wear them a few times, and recycle them for a new
pair. Convenient, yes; fashionable—no way! On the other
hand, fl ats mean never having to worry about getting out
those troublesome bloodstains."

Oh hey, there they are! I just wish they had a line in the main book where people first learn what is 'acceptable' in Shadowrun :P Yes, I know, always a complainer. Next I'll be asking for the fake SIN costs to be in street gear too. Maybe I should go to SR4 just for the better organization of the books.

really cool! hate the pointy hoods though. I would actually get some of those if I lived in a city. . . I'd look so out of place (and very warm)wearing that stuff in florida suburbia.

LOL! check out "Elektro Inca" in the unisex tops category. . . if circuitry and mesoamerican stylings next to the word "shaman" doesn't say Shadowrun, I don't know what does!

No shaman in their right mind would be caught dead in that shirt. The first rule of Shadowrun gunplay is "geek the mage first."

Also, while a lot of metas would probably avoid anything even slightly medieval like the plague there are some who would revel in it (Sons of Sauron anyone?)
