Y2K is alive and well. Thankfully, no matter your chosen aesthetic, it has something for everyone. If you’re a fan of baggy silhouettes, Matrix vibes, and sci-fi accessories, cyber streetwear, cyber girl, or “cybercore” is the perfect fit.
Like most streetwear trends, cybercore draws from Black fashion— you can look to Destiny’s Child and rappers Cam'ron or Nelly for inspiration. Categorized by its references to both pop culture trends of the 2000s and 2020s-esque techwear, cybercore is the perfect combination of nostalgic and futuristic. Below are seven cybercore outfits to try out for yourself.
Trendy Trackstar
Track jackets are a good staple for your cyber streetwear wardrobe. Not only are they versatile, their bright colorways are a perfect statement piece for an otherwise monochrome outfit. Pair with chunky platform sneakers and a PVC skirt and you’re ready to live out your sci-fi fantasy.
