Default female V has an unmistakable silhouette rooted in street-level mercenary function. Her entire outfit revolves around a heavy, structured aviator jacket layered over close-fitting base garments, balancing bulky upper-body armor styling with sleek mobility.
Recreating this look doesn’t require crafting an entire armor rig from scratch. Aside from the illuminated collar, most of V’s wardrobe consists of practical streetwear staples like distressed moto pants, an asymmetrical crop top, and aggressive platform wedges that you can assemble and customize with minimal fuss.
The Bomber Jacket and Collar Illumination
The centerpiece of V’s design is her high-collar brown bomber jacket. In the game, this is a modified aviator cut with padded shoulders, ribbed cuffs, and an exaggerated stand-up neckline. Sourcing a sturdy brown bomber jacket gives you the correct bulk and weathered leather aesthetic. If you want extra fidelity, you can stencil the red Samurai crest onto the back panel using acrylic leather paint, but having that structured, high-standing collar flipped upward is what establishes the silhouette immediately.
Night City fashion is defined by embedded technology, and V’s jacket stands out because of the neon cyan glow lining the interior collar. You can achieve this effect by running a thin, battery-powered rope light along the inside rim. Anchor the flexible tubing beneath the collar edge using clear fabric adhesive or small safety pins positioned along the seam. The slim battery pack slips right into an interior breast pocket, giving you hours of clean, diffused blue light that frames your jawline.
Base Layers and Hardware
Underneath the bulk of the jacket, V wears a minimalist brown crop top. Because the jacket hangs open, the exposed midriff provides space to add V’s subtle cyberware seams. Drawing thin, geometric lines down from the ribs toward the hipbones with a fine-tip waterproof liquid eyeliner creates the impression of sub-dermal plating without requiring silicone prosthetics.
Her lower half consists of fitted black moto pants with ribbed horizontal stitching across the thighs and knees. Moto trousers provide that tactical, reinforced texture while retaining enough stretch to let you sit or crouch comfortably. To complete the waistline, clip a metallic wallet chain from a front belt loop diagonally to your back pocket. The swinging metal links add an industrial, rough-edged detail that catches the light as you move.
Footwear and Mobility
V navigates Night City in rugged sneaker-boot hybrids featuring substantial heel height. Black wedge heels give you that sharp, forward-leaning posture and elongated leg line while offering vastly better stability than stilettos. The wide contact patch of a wedge sole supports your weight evenly, making long stretches on convention concrete far less fatiguing.
Hair and Finishing Touches
V’s hairstyle is a sharp, asymmetric undercut with one side trimmed close to the scalp and longer, choppy layers swept across the opposite side. An asymmetrical wig replicates this uneven profile straight out of the package. Work a small amount of texturizing paste through the longer strands with your fingers to separate the pieces and keep them swept neatly away from your eyes.
