Fashion is a term used to refer to the ongoing trend. The meaning for the trend is the popular styles and practice in clothing and accessories. However fashion is not a word created currently, it was in use since centuries but composed in papers only in the beginning of modern century. Due to easy accessibility of world information today people know what was happened and happening in the world of fashion. Over the centuries many trends in clothing come and vanish from time to time. Here I will focus on the the fashion in the steampunk style.

 

Steampunk is a style derived from the nineteenth century Victorian period clothing. It exhibits the element of Victorian apparels, modern designing techniques and fanatical aspects, a blend of three needed to create the illusion of science fiction world that existed in the thinking of Victorian people. Many historical enthusiasts and nostalgic people don’t like the concept of steampunk due to voluptuous clothing and rage behavior of people. But the steampunk style clothing  is experiencing approval by many people and has grown into a fashion welcomed through a worldwide range. Everything related to steampunk style is in great demand.
You can see from the pictures I post here to figure out the steampunk is really a stylish one and also trendy.

Basic Rules in the Steampunk Fashion

As the steampunk fashion grows in popularity, a number of more people want to join in this style. So here I would like to introduce several basic rules in the steampunk fashion.

No. One:
The steampunk fashion is a reproduction in the clothing field which can be found in steampunk literature.
No. Two:
It has something relative to the victorian style. It is in the victorian age that people capitalize upon steam technology in a way that affected everyday life. If you have doubt, you can add the victorian style clothes. And there is no need to think that the victorian clothes will be overdone.
No. Three:
Steampunk style is a fashion on creating clothes that delights the senses, entertains the wearer, and engages the viewer. So you do not have to feel afraid because you have no idea whither it is steampunk or not.

No. Four:
It is good to add some extra decoration to the outfits you wear. The classic decoration in the steampunk style includes the goggles, the clockwork and some other detail in the steampunk style. It is not a must have. But it will complete the unique and gorgeous steampunk look.
No. Five:
Enjoy and be yourself. That's what this is about. Don't feel compelled to conform with the others. The steampunk style is an individual and creative one. You have to be confident in your own idea. I hope that those of you looking for this sort of thing find it useful. Above all, I would like to emphasize that the point here is that you should be proud of having your own opinion and your own unique style.

Get Into Steampunk Style

I am a person so in love with the everything that relative to steampunk. From my point of view it is not only a style, but also a way to show the individuality and creativity. It does not like the normal clothes we wear in that there are invisible rules to match what we wear. But in the steampunk world, the case is different. The patterns are already lying there and we can pick what we want to dress and accessorize ourselves. So I am writing here to do a simple and brief illustration on how to get yourself in the steampunk style.

In the first place, people who choose to wear in steampunk style will not use it to formal events. Such kind of clothes could only be wore for some informal parties. So it is not inappropriate if it is in an over tone or exaggerated way.
No matter you are a man or a women, it is a good choice to choose the clothes in the brown color. Steampunk originally appeared in the period when the machines were highly developed. And the clothes and the accessories are better in the brown color or have the copper detail. Not all the clothes in the steampunk style are in the brown color. If you just start to get into this style, the brown one is better.

To dress up yourself is a great way to embody the steampunk style. And it is a good way to reveal and represent your unique favor.

Steampunk Theme Wedding

The weddings are becoming more and more various in nowadays for that people want to break the traditional rules. They are not satisfied with or limited to the traditional indoor weddings. So the weddings with different themes come into being. There are beach wedding, garden wedding, victoiran style wedding and some other themed wedding even rarely heard of. Today I want to talk about a different wedding theme: the steampunk theme wedding.

Steampunk is a popular style till now since it was originated in the victorian age. It is the combination of the steam machine element and the vintage sense. When it is applied into weddings, the final effect is fantastic and dramatic. In a wedding there are mainly two things that are most important. One is the bridal dress and groom’s suit; the other one is the setting of the wedding. 

The couple should think about what to wear carefully. There are so many choices to make both for the bride and the groom. As the bride, a steampunk dress is good. A wedding dress is also a choice and it will be great if added with some metal or copper decoration on it. For the groom, the suits with steampunk tone is perfect. You can see the pictures I post here look great for that they matched very well. And when it comes to the setting of the wedding, the copper colored tone with metal element such as the clockwork will be great. And even something exaggerated are acceptable.
As a whole, a steampunk wedding is a special wedding style which is different from the normal weddings. And it will definitely leave a deep memory to both the couple and the guests.

How to Choose a Steampunk Corset

It is difficult to choose a corset because there are so many styles and patterns in the corsets. There are so many choices to make only if in one style. As the steampunk clothes becomes popular in nowadays fashionable world, the corsets in this style has been favored by many women. And as a hard choice to make,I will talk about how to choose a corset in the steampunk style.

In the first place, you have to decide the boning of the corsets. There are mainly two kinds of boning: one is the steel boning and the other is the plastic boning. The steel boned corsets, of course, are in good quality. It holds the body tight which could show a much slim and sexy figure. This will be expensive than a plastic boned corset. But if you just want to match the dress and wear only several times, than a plastic one could be picked. It serves as an additional clothes to finish the whole steampunk look.

Besides the boning, the bust patterns are also an important element for you to choose a corset. It includes the overbust corset and the underbust corset. From the name we can see the difference lies on the two kinds of corsets. Underbust corsets places much emphasis on the the waist. And the overbust corsets are good for revealing the figure of the wearer.
Steampunk corsets are always in the copper or brown color. The striped detail and the leather fabric are the features of a steampunk corset. But the boning and the bust pattern are still the two most key elements for you to choose a corset. According to what I mentioned above, I hope you will have a corset that fits you well.

Get Your Own Steampunk Style

Steampunk is a style which is growing much more popular among people, people from a various span of age. There are some reasons why so many people are following it. One reason is that this style is unique which is achieved by the special features of it. It is different from all the other clothing styles. The other reason which is essential to it is the individuality and the creation a person in this style can have. There is no two clothes in the same pattern. Because there are also the additional decoration one can add according his or her own will.

People who follow the steampunk style create their own fashion designs. It is an adventurous pastiche of neo-Victorian, Edwardian and the military style together. It is decorated with sometimes mechanized accouterments like the copper goggles, harnesses and clockwork pendant necklaces, not to mention the odd ray gun dangling on the clothes. The steampunk clothes have a various styles and patterns. The most prominent clothes include the corsets for women, dresses, the vests for men and the coats for both men and women. If matched appropriately, the look may be gorgeous and attractive to the other people. So are you ready to get your own steampunk style?

Steampunk Jewellry

The world of Steampunk is currently enjoying a renaissance. From all the fantastic accessories in the steampunk style, I love the steampunk jewellry most and I will illustrate it in a detailed way.

The steampunk jewellry goes with the Neo- Victorian art form. The victorian style jewellry as we know is elegant and classic. And the jewellry in the steampunk style is classified into the neo-victorian category because there are some changes or additional elements added in it. From these pictures I posted here, the changes or the additional elements are metal, gears and screws. These are the most prominent features in the steampunk style. And when they are applied into the jewelry, it sends a really different and unique look.

When I see someone wearing Steampunk Jewellry, it serves not only as a decoration but also a symbol to show their interest in steampunk. It is as recognizable as the compass and the goggles which are mostly seen in the steampunk world. But the goggles are not more exquisite and gorgeous than a steampunk jewelry. From these jewelries I illustrated here, you can have a much clearer idea about how subtle and fantastic the steampunk jewelry is.
As mentioned above, this is a just a small part of the selection of jewellries. I just want to inform you that there is still a jewellry field that the steampunk style covers.

Steampunk Inspired Prada Men’s Suit

From the latest fashion news, we see the famous band of Prada issued a series of men’s suits in the steampunk style. Steampunk is really popular that the designers from Prada apply into their men’s attire. The following pictures are what they issued.

All the outfits are in the steampunk style for two most outstanding features. One is the striped element. And the other is the metallic decoration on it. The steampunk outfits use the striped element very often. It can send a vintage feeling of the old industrious time. The industrious period is characterized by its machine. So some metallic element could finish a much better steampunk look for men. Besides, the copper or the brown colors can also help to define a steampunk style. Why? That is because the machines first invented in the industrious revolution are all made of the copper and iron. Anyway, all above three elements are the most essential factors to a steampunk look.
The outfits that shown in the picture are very vintage and noble. It can enhance the wearer to a high status.
And all above I mentioned is the Prada's fall 2012 menswear line and I think it is awfully steampunky. From this we can see the steampunk is become a new trend not for some people who are fond of it, but also as a fashion for all people.

What is Steampunk?

The most recognizably features include anachronistic technologies and retro-futuristic inventions. It is a most significant event, and rooted its perspective on many different fields such as the fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.

How to Care for Leather Steampunk Outfits

When you buy the leather clothes, find out the type of leather it is. The type of animal it came from is not important, but you need to know if it is pigmented, semi-aniline or aniline leather. This will affect how you care for it and more importantly how well you need to look after it in the first place.
Before wearing, treat it with a suede and leather guard, like a scotch guard for leather furniture. This is usually a spray on application and will help prevent the ingress of water, stains or grime.

When you take the cloth off, hang it on a well shaped hanger as often as possible. You know from leather footwear that leather will stretch so try to avoid hanging on clothes pegs where the stress on the leather is very likely to be transformed.

If you get it wet, don't worry but try not to allow it to become saturated. When it does get wet, hang it on a well shaped hanger and allow it to dry at room temperature and away from any direct heat sources such as radiators or airing cupboards.
Whatever you do to care or clean your leather jacket always test anything you intend to apply to the skin in a small hidden area of the jacket first, this will make sure you are aware of any adverse effects the product will have on your leather jacket before it's too late.
