What's cracking, fellow cyberpunk clothing fanatics! I’m sure we all know the feeling of our jaws dropping when we see that perfect piece of clothing. With your wardrobe fully stocked, you’ll want to keep everything looking fresh for as long as possible.
But that requires effort most people are too lazy to do. Lucky for you, I’m here with some tips on how to keep your futuristic garb in tip-top shape. From hoodies that could be seen from space to jeans with pockets out the wazoo, there are a lot of clothes that could go bad quickly. Let's get into it!
When taking care of clothes, understanding their needs is half the battle. The care label is essentially a cheat sheet for how not to ruin them when it comes time to clean. Although it’s written in what seems like code from another dimension, this tag will help you understand if an item needs a gentle wash with your hands or if tossing it in the machine won’t harm anything (aside from maybe its fragile electronics).
It’s typically located along the inside seam and provides instructions to avoid color bleeding, shrinking, or complete destruction. Don’t throw away any more shirts because you accidentally turned them into doll clothes — get familiar with this tag.
Even though things claim they’re safe for machines doesn’t mean they won’t last longer without one. This idea goes double for items with delicate features or built-in electronics that might not take kindly to a rough spin cycle.
For example: Fill up a basin with cool water and add some mild detergent. Then dip your hoodie in and give it a good scrubbing until it smells soapy fresh again. When rinsing, make sure all soapiness is gone before pressing out as much water as possible without twisting too hard. By doing this every once in a while, instead of using the machine over and over again like a robot would, you'll make your clothes last longer.
Modern washing machines are basically tiny robots that live in your home. You give them dirty clothes and they clean them for you — it’s amazing how our species can evolve, isn’t it? But even these little guys need guidance to perform at their best. That’s turning your garments inside out comes in.
It might seem odd, but it’ll keep vibrant colors from fading and protect the details. Once they’re flipped, I recommend using a gentle cycle with cold water instead of hot; this reduces stress on the fabric and helps prevent shrinking or fading. And if your machine doesn't come with a built-in mesh bag, buy one. They're cheap, easy to find, and will protect your clothes from rough bouncing during the cycle.
Tumble dryers are great for getting your clothes ready to wear in a flash. But they can be harsh on fabrics. Heat makes colors fade and fibers weaken, which means that your favorite pieces might not look the same as when you put them in. So instead of throwing everything into the dryer without thinking, just try air drying.
It’s best to lay things flat so their shape isn’t disturbed — and it’s better for colors and fibers too. Yes, this method does take longer to do its job, but hey, at least you know it’s giving your clothes a well-deserved break after being spun around in the washing machine!
If you’re putting away those outlandish jackets or any intricate clothing for an extended period of time, make sure each piece has enough space to breathe in your closet. It might seem like a good idea to hang them up since that’s what you normally do with clothes, but this can actually lead to stretching out and misshaping over time.
And remember how cool some of these articles may be with their built-in digital lights? Well don’t forget: remove batteries or power sources before storing! You want every item to stay safe so that they’ll work properly when you’re ready to bring them back out again.
Don't worry if you stained your favorite cyberpunk jacket or tore a hole in those high-tech pants — it happens to everyone! As long as you act quickly by dabbing at stains gently using mild detergent/water solution, then most will come right out. If not, don’t be afraid to call in the professional cleaners; especially if there are electronics involved.
And repairs? Those can usually be easily taken care of at home with nothing more than a needle and thread.
Prints and electronic pieces are staple are with cyberpunk clothing. They’re also both not too fond of irons. If you still want to take the risk, then make sure that you have your heat setting on low and insert a cloth between the plates and fabric to be safe.
Steaming is always the better option though; it’s less likely to cause damage while still getting rid of any unwanted wrinkles.
Fiber optic fabric is fragile, so it's best to wash it by hand. If you absolutely have to use a washing machine, then be sure that the control system for the machine is waterproof and follow the instructions from the manufacturer.
It’s high-tech stuff, which means it’ll need some extra care. But don’t worry—just keep it bright and shiny, and you’ll be lighting up the party for years to come.
Each piece in your cyberpunk closet has its own unique needs. With proper care, not only will they give you an NPC look but they'll also last longer too.
Treat them right. Take time out of your day to learn about each article of clothing and ensure that they're always ready for wear. Hollywood might even take notice of your commitment.
And there you have it - whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out on your punk journey, these tips should help you look after your clothes properly. Stay stylish!
