It doesn't matter if you are into alternative fashion or not. If you are a fan of unique clothing, likely you have heard of a unique fashion style that more and more people are adding to their wardrobe. Whether they choose to dress in this style from head to toe or just add something like steam punk earrings to your wardrobe, this mix of Victorian, Wild West and Gothic styles may be just what you need to add some excitement to your wardrobe.
A bit of background can make it easier for you to choose elements that are part of this genre. Some pieces look very familiar but with a slight twist. There is a good reason for this. The steam punk genre takes place in a world where technology has continued to advance. However, unlike current day, steam power is the main source of energy. This has caused familiar things to develop but in a slightly different way.
Once you start shopping you will begin to see certain trends and certain themes repeated. Clasps, gears, goggles and fasteners are all part of the style. Also, its not uncommon to see vintage uniform pieces such as jackets, boots and helmets included in this style of outfit. Other people will wear pieces that have a more western feel to them.
Before you shop, you might want to look at the other jewelry pieces that you own. This can help you avoid buying something which you might not be comfortable wearing. If your current pieces are small and understated, your new pieces should be as well. Over time, if you want to start increasing the size of your earrings or other pieces, you can do so as well.
Researching the eras that are part of this genre can also help you when you go shopping. Once you have a feel for what you want, you can look both online and in vintage stores as well. It may not take much to adapt vintage pieces to give them the feel you are looking for.
Its not uncommon for people to find their accessories and clothing online. Look for vintage websites as well as those that are labelled as being part of this particular genre. You might want to think about adapting pieces which are not actually steam punk in appearance. Wiring on gears or clasps can help change a piece's look to make it more in keeping with your style.
Balance is key when adding any accessory to an outfit. Pieces such as earrings can be the focal point of an outfit but you want to make sure that the rest of your outfit won't pull attention away from them. You might want to keep your clothing and accessories neutral and understated so that your steam punk side can be seen easily and tastefully.
When you start adding items from this style to your wardrobe you will see just how fun it can be. You can vary your look easily from full on steam punk to a simple hint of this style from time to time.
