Key Elements to Achieve Originality in Steampunk Clothing

Steampunk fans create their own fashion designs, an adventurous pastiche of Victorian, Edwardian and military style accented with sometimes crudely mechanized accouterments like brass goggles and wings made from pulleys, harnesses and clockwork pendant necklaces, not to mention the odd ray gun dangling at the hip. Steampunk style is corseted, built on a scaffolding of bustles, crinoline petticoats and parasols & high-arced sleeves, often made with leather.

Steampunk is a style that equals to originality. And the originality is achieved through the accessories that people add to themselves and their clothes. And the key features include goggles, facial hair for guys and corsets for women. Dressing up is a big part of Steampunk’s appeal for creators and fans alike. One of the reasons we chose this as a theme for our costume contest is it allows a new way to do costuming where one doesn’t have to necessarily dress up as somebody else’s character. It’s about creating your own character and your own world.
No matter what kind of clothing style it is, it must has some key elements to show that it is different from the other styles. And steampunk is a style that its key elements are used to achieve the originality.
