Anti-Pattern-Recognition Fashion is based around creating clothing designed to defeat electronic systems. The specifics and effectiveness of this clothing changes over time, and will often incorporate various active-systems, digital ink, and holography on top of a range of physical materials. This fashion is rarely chosen for its aesthetics to people, though there are some instances of the patterns being used as decoration with no consideration for their anti-pattern qualities.

Typically, anti-pattern-recognition clothing is incorporated into a large piece of clothing that can cover a full body, usually a hooded robe.

The material of the robe is composed of blotchy spots and polygons designed to breakup the outline of the wearer in order to fool pattern-recognition systems. Retroreflective material is also incorporated into the outfit to reflect light back at the light-source which is useful for disrupting or damaging LIDAR systems. Electronic Ink is also used to display a range of QR codes which contain various exploits, attacks, and other malicious software to further disrupt or degrade pattern-recognition systems. Additional retroreflective systems, near-infrared colors, and other techniques are used to create additional patterns that are stressful or even painful to look at through electronic systems.

Holographic technology is also sometimes incorporated, typically to try and blind visible sensors or to generate false faces or other images to give false positives or other bad data to electronic sensors.

Shoes also typically include a variable height sole that can adjust the height of the wearer. These are used to foot gait-recognition systems that track an individual through looking at their footsteps. Using a full body cloak also helps with disguising the legs and feat. The soles of these shoes are also configured with programmable matter systems designed to create different sole impressions on the ground to further obfuscate any trail left behind.

Though Anti-Pattern-Recognition Fashion has been in existence since at least the early 2000s, the most modern champions of this style are the DFE of The Magnetic Assembly who aggressively pursued usage of the style throughout the 2240s for usage against the surveillance systems of Yelton Veda. Anti-Pattern-Recognition fashion would peak during this decade. When the local governments of Yelton Veda were destroyed following the merge of the Machine Intelligences, quality of life started to improve and the need for the fashion would recede.

By the 2300s, the Fashion would largely be kept alive through the efforts of the DFE who still champion privacy in an increasingly post-privacy world.
