Steampunk Couture Spring 2011 collection.

Steampunk clothing style is based on the fashions of the Victorian-era.  Generally, Steampunk clothing is reserved for special occasions such as theme parties and conventions, but this style can also be worn as an every-day look.  

Those with a preference for the Steampunk aesthetic typically wear clothes in brown, tan, white, and off-white.  Grey, black, and olive green are worn for a more militant look.  Bright colors are rarely worn.

Some essentials found in any Steampunk closet:

  • Corset
  • Leather harness
  • White blouses
  • Blouses with jabots
  • Long brown skirts
  • Skirts with bustles
  • Petticoat
  • Jacket
