Steampunk Fashion

Can we all take a minute to appreciate how weird (and occasionally beautiful) Steampunk clothes are. Based upon literary works written during the Victorian age but set in the future, Steampunk is modern society but with Victorian values and still running on steam. Books like Stardust, Series of Unfortunate events and others of its genre (alot of Julius Verne) are classic examples of Steampunk literature. Involving a lot of leather the clothes were not designed for comfort but for beauty much as Victorian english fashion. For woman corsets and boots are totally in and classic victorian suits with a modern goth flair for guys, Steampunk involves alot of mechanic looks, such as gears, bolts and metal studs very reminisent of punk with a more formal tone to it, jewelary is gorgeous involving lots of small bugs and insects made from gears and such as, bees and butterflies are my personal favourites but there are endless possibilities. Please do not wear a top hat unless you are wearing only black/white/gray otherwise, it looks ridiculous (even for Steampunk) www.kinkyangel.co.uk has some awesome stuff so check it out.
