Steampunk Fasion

Steampunk fashion is a subgenre of the steampunk movement in science fiction.

It is a mixture of the Victorian era’s romantic view of science in literature and elements from the Industrial Revolution in Europe during the 1800s. The fashion is designed with a post-apocalyptic era in mind.

Steampunk fashion consists of clothing, hairstyling, jewelry, body modification and make-up.


The beauty of steampunk fashion is that it is constantly evolving and despite all critics, it looks like it is here to stay. One of the main reasons behind this is that is the fact that this movement has no boundaries, possesses a life of its own and is based on the appeal for the old days, romanticism, nostalgia, while incorporates sci-fi and modern lines and features.

It is not just another trend in the fashion industry, but a philosophy and an ever-enriching and evolving culture. Whether it is the exquisite Victorian clothing and machinery, or the fascinating ideas inwrought in the movement, more and more people constantly get attracted and drawn to the movement. That is why we decided to create this website, in order to provide a great variety of quality neo-Victorian clothing, post-apocalyptic accessories and jewelry.


Anything from steampunk clothing such suits, dresses and corsets to neo-vintage goggles, bandanas, dresses and suits.

So, what are the basic rules of Steampunk Fashion you ask?

Steampunk fashion is a real-world reproduction of the clothing that is or could be found in steampunk literature. It’s that simple.

When in doubt, dress Victorian and then add. The Victorians were the first people to fully capitalize upon steam technology in a way that affected everyday life, so it is no surprise that most steampunk writing either takes place in the Victorian world or is strongly inspired by it. If you’re afraid that your outfit is “too Victorian” you’re probably doing it right!
Steampunk fashion is about creating an outfit that delights the senses, entertains the wearer, and engages the viewer. Never feel obliged to take away from the style or appeal of an outfit simply because you fear it will be “not steampunk enough.” Do not be misled, coerced, or second-guessed into including a collection of “steampunk status symbols” (goggles are the most infamous, though we do love them) if they do not fit with the outfit, or with the vision you are attempting to produce.
There is no “steampunk color.” Some people have claimed that steampunk is only brown, or only black, or only white, or only light, or only dark. They are wrong. Virtually any color can be steampunk (though perhaps one might balk at neon). If you like to wear black, there is a steampunk justification; if you like to wear brown, there is a steampunk justification; if you like to wear bright colors, there is a steampunk justification. Remember, steampunk is set in a world of comparatively advanced technology, so it is perfectly reasonable to have vibrant colors and complicated machine-made patterns.

You are allowed to like other genres. If you like a style of fashion that does not fit into steampunk (Enlightenment era, Pulp Adventure, Mod 60s, Medieval, etc.) be proud of it. Do not feel compelled to try and wedge it under the steampunk caption. These are all genres that people have worked very hard to create, expand, and explore; so we rather owe it to them to respect the diversity and uniqueness of their differences. You are all diverse and well-rounded people with differing interests. Let that be a source of pride.

Have fun and be yourself. That’s what this is about. Don’t feel compelled to conform with everyone else. Don’t feel shy about posting just because you don’t want to dress like the other people who you’ve seen post. And don’t post with the question “do you guys think this is steampunk enough?” Post with the statement “I feel that this is steampunk, and here is why I think so.” At worst, someone will disagree and then the two of you can discuss your conflicting views, get to know each other, and come to an understanding; or, you can simply feel free to ignore them, and you have every right to do so if you don’t feel like arguing over a simple difference of opinion.
