If you like the idea of industrial jewelry but don't want heavy, angry looking pieces you may want to consider a different approach. Steampunk jewelry often has a very industrial feel to it but it often feels happier and more playful than most industrial styles. If you have seen or heard of this movement here is what you need to know in order to tell whether it is something you want to know more about.
It may surprise you to find out that this style goes far beyond clothing, jewelry and accessories. There are many people who totally immerse themselves in the lifestyle. You will notice that most of the clothing, jewelry pieces and other items have a distinctly retro feel to them. This is because the genre has its roots firmly planted in the Victorian era, when industrialization was just beginning to exist.
This style of dress can be difficult to figure out and explaining the time period may sound very vague but as you spend more time learning it becomes easier to understand. If you think about what life was like during the Victorian era you will begin to understand. Now throw in the kind of future that is imagined by HG Wells and, in some cases, magical elements and you have the very basics of this movement.
If you are female, you have many different clothing choices to choose from. You may want to think about wearing an outfit that has a very Victorian feel to it, mixed with some technological elements. Think corsets, full skirts and elaborate top hats coupled with goggles, futuristic looking weapons and necklaces that are very industrial in feel.
Men's fashion, historically, has been much more varied than it is now. If you like the idea of being a sharp dresser, getting involved in the local steampunk movement may give you the freedom to dress well that you have always wanted to have. When you think of men's steampunk fashion, consider a historical military outfit like a set of British scarlets or a pith helmet. Alternately, a man could choose to wear a well-tailored suit as part of his alternate persona.
If you love the idea of dressing this way it is easy to do so. You can choose to alter your clothing to give it the proper feel or find pieces of clothing online. There are many websites that are devoted to this form of fashion.
You may be surprised at how easy it is to make this kind of jewelry. You can use metal findings such as fake gears, futuristic looking beads or other items in order to give your pieces the proper look. If you don't like the idea of wearing specific pieces you may want to find metal items that can be sewn onto clothing or accessories to give them a more industrial feel.
If you have an outfit and are wondering where you can wear it the good news is that there are an increasing number of events where other steampunk aficionados gather together to talk about music and costuming, trade clothing and accessories and even participate in high tea, horseback riding or other period specific activities.
