Cyberpunk and Steampunk are often wrongly related to each other. While they do have an effect on one another and share like-minded admirers, Steampunk is in fact an entirely split movement. Of the two, Steampunk is more authoritarian in character and representative of some sort of that that moves it self off as utopia; when in fact, is ruled below rigid regulations and rules by the forces that be.
That being said...
Steampunk costumes as a manner fad look like precisely what they symbolize - a advanced however underdeveloped style reminiscent of anything out of a Jules Verne or HG Wells technology fiction novel. Envision an assortment of current Goth and futuristic Goth folded into one! The design isn't objectionable, and in reality is sort of cool looking and brings on an edge! Photograph Edward Scissorhands matches Elvira Mistress of the black meets Xena the Knight Queen meets Sherlock Holmes. Kind of.
It is suitable to employ a jacket, but when you don't play one, you ought to have braces. You possibly can make the vest of some magnificent fabric, like brocade or jacquard, and add a corresponding cravat. There are several methods to wrap a cravat, and you need to use a wide tie or a scarf in stead of a cravat, what actually meets your character.
A jacket is fine, but you may also make use of a military jacket, duster or trench coat. If you utilize a trench coat, pick a easy one with sophisticated sample or no design at all in the lining, or one with no lining. Western style trench coat or riding duster is good.
You need to use many shoes with laces, but oxfords or shoes (with or without laces) are best. Fabric shoes can be utilized, however, not sneakers.
It is frequent to use hats when dressing in Steampunk equipment, and along with the aforementioned top cap and leather helmet, you can pick a bowler or perhaps a fedora. It's a good idea to enhance that cap with something, preferably manufactured from brass, like a couple of gear wheels or perhaps a brooch, but this is simply not necessary.
In the Victorian occasions both sexes applied jewelry. Acceptable items for men are the aforementioned wallet watch, signet bands, cravat hooks and cuff links, if one wears a shirt with sleeves unrolled, and a cravat or tie. It's appropriate for guys to use one earring, but it'd then be a material ring, and not a jeweled stud. If you intend to wear a hand watch, pick a easy design and technical, analog view, and wear it on a leather strap. Brooches, especially medals, are good. You may also wear a ribbon in a buttonhole, or even a boutonnière.
