Style is an important part of V's identity in Cyberpunk 2077. Not only is expressing one's style part of life in Night City, but depending on what build the player is going for, finding the best and most ideal clothing items as soon as possible is a huge advantage.

Many of the game's most iconic and strongest clothing items aren't easy to find. In fact, they can be incredibly easy to miss, unless they're tied to a specific mission. It's recommended to keep one's eyes peeled when hunting down these incredibly strong clothing items. Keep in mind some of these might scale to player level and can be modded, and base armor stats are therefore only an estimate.

Updated on July 30th, 2021 by Anastasia Maillot: Despite the lack of content for Cyberpunk 2077, the game is a treasure trove of small quests and rare items worth hunting down for their mere price and value alone. However, some clothing items are best kept in V's inventory.

Players looking for some of the best garbs (but not necessarily the most stylish ones), should head to these following locations and snatch these legendary and epic items that will serve V more than well in combat.

15 Puncture-Resistant Rocker Ankle Boots

• Location: Downtown, City Center, nearby Skyline & Republic data term
• Armor: 100

Located north from the data term in question, you'll need a Body skill of 12 to access this caged-off area with a dead body inside. Loot the body for these shoes, which will also have a chance of carrying a few clothing mod slots.

14 Elastic Flame-Resistant Rocker Pants

• Location: Corpo Plaza, City Center, west of the Downtown North data term
• Armor: 100

These pants are found in a very similar way as the shoes above. In City Center, there's a caged-off area that can only be opened with a Body perk level of 12. The legendary pants also have a chance of spawning with clothing mod slots.

8 Replica of Johnny's Samurai Jacket

• Location: During the quest Chippin' In
• Armor: 200

One of the most wanted clothing items both in terms of style and stats is Johnny's Samurai jacket, seen on the promotional footage of Cyberpunk 2077 as well. The armor this impressive and gorgeous jacket grants is 200, and it also comes with an empty clothing mod slot.

This Rare and Iconic tier clothing item is closely tied to a quest titled Chippin' In. During this quest, Rogue will actually give the jacket to V. The quests Search and Destroy and Tapeworm will need to be completed first, so keep an eye on any Johnny-related quests.

7 Polycarbonate Nomad Shirt With Reinforced Seams

• Location: Jackson Plains, Badlands, next to a Villefort Columbus vehicle
• Armor: 212

The nomad lifestyle is one of the more original ones in the game, and it comes with some fairly good items as well.

It can have up to four mod slots but tends to come with one.

Head over to the Badlands, and check into an area known as Jackson Plains. On one of the roads there should be a blue van with scribbles on it, crashed to the side of the road. The shirt can be found on the corpse next to it.

6 Johnny's Pants

• Armor: 100

Unlike many other Johnny Silverhand items, Johnny's pants can't be found within a full-fledged side mission or main quest. Keep an eye out for a special gig titled Psychofan, which involves the player stealing Kerry Eurodyne's guitar in The Glen.
