    I love this look, but I’m struggling with the intersection of this and age. Frankly, I have no idea what middle-aged-but-not-dead-yet looks like when dressing in a more streetware/cyberpunk savvy way.

      Fabric of the Universe

      There are similar brands like Machine56

      Also plenty of cheap no-brands on Amazon.

      If you’re feeling particularly spendy, Acronym and Hamcus.

        If I were 20 years younger, I’d be all over this! I feel like as an older dude I would just look silly wearing crop hoodies and cargo pants with way too many pockets and straps.

    I mean it looks cool, but come on!

    Short sleeves? The outfit looks warm and weather proof, but the short sleeves make no sense: when it’s warm enough for short sleeves it’s too warm for this outfit.

    Or the other way around, if it’s the right weather for this kind of clothing (cool, rainy) the short sleeves will be absolute horrible.

      You don’t need to keep your entire body warm, you just need to keep enough of it warm for homeostasis, and ironically enough most modern clothing don’t address the greatest loss of heat, that active airflow system we call breathing. A simple COVID helps keep the heat tank that is your moisture from getting lost to the ambient air .

      I mean, this outfit is clearly for cosplay, but keeping your sleeves short means being able to move your arms more freely and helps your skin from becoming damp swamp. It would have its uses even in cold weather.
