Here’s how to dress like you’re living in The Matrix

The rise of small-framed, elongated sunglasses and commanding leather fits have been impossible to miss over the past year and it can only mean one thing: cyberpunk is back with a vengeance. At this year’s Grammys, Rihanna’s showstopping burgundy patent leather trench coat by Alexandre Vauthier made the singer look like she popped in for a visit from 2045, while SZA literally had the iconic digital rain from The Matrix as her visuals. Naturally, those moments cemented the deal for us.

With every day feeling more like we’re living in a bizarre and disorienting simulation, why not make the most of it and dress like a futuristic rogue seeker of justice? While the complete ensemble may seem daunting, incorporating a few new essentials into your current wardrobe will add the mesmerizing allure guaranteed to get you through any dystopian tech nightmare.
