The Urban Security Suit by Dutch designer Tim Smit was created to make sure you continue to look stylish even in case of a chemical attack.

Most of us may not survive a massive bio-chemical attack, but I'll be damned if I won't look absolutely fabulous and hip as hell when they find my messed up body.

"Made of [stylish neoprene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-islands-metal-mesh-jacket) and strategically lined with body molded kevlar, this [runway show stopper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-neo-suit) will be THE must have accessory for your next war, skirmish, struggle, conflict, combat zone or civil strife you find yourself in or starting," says Yanko Design. "Aeon Flux eat your heart out."
