It seems like futuristic utopia fashion predictions always feature less clothing. Whether something like this or sci-fi like Star Trek TNG.

Maybe, they’re prescient shades of the coming global warming or people’s imaginations are just unavoidably horny.

Horny, nerdy, sci-fi writers.

Based on TV shows in the future everyone on the planet will wear the same jump suit and boots uniform or the woman will wander around in silk robes. The show Buck Rogers said everyone will wear spandex, especially the female officers.

Unless Zapp is in charge, then no female officers.

What I picture as future style now is baggy clothes and layers and maybe LED masks, and I can’t wait. I want a big flowing cyberpunk trench coat

Nah, since fashion has been cyclical, pretty soon we're going to bring back those big frumpy denim dresses with a long sleeve white shirt under them that got weirdly popular in the early 90's, and then bell bottoms are coming back for a third time.

Personally I want great coats from the mid century to come back.

If fashion is cyclical, when are we going back to togas and sandals??

Frats tried in the 80's.

Hey, I won’t shame your kinks. Enjoy your MC Hammer 1980s future.

What future style?

You can get those clothing right now!

Just search Etsy or make your own

I don't know what makes a trench coat cyberpunk, but if it's being reminicent of *Blade Runner, where Deckard wore a trench coat:

It looks like there are also clothing companies that will tailor Blade Runner replica coats:
