How To Add Steam Punk Earrings To Any Wardrobe

By Beryl Dalton


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.

If you are not familiar with this style, it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing. Part of this is because the style is quite similar to modern day style. In this alternate universe, however, it is steam power that fuels vehicles and industry. Followers of the author H. G. Wells will find it easy to envision this world. There is often a Victorian flare to things that are worn or used.

Victorian elements are very common within this style. Someone who is putting together an outfit using this style may look for fabrics such as velvet or leather. Instead of buttons, there may be ornate clasps or metal fasteners. There are often accessories such as top hats, goggles, canes and other pieces which are not commonly worn these days. Other people who choose to dress in this style will wear items with exposed gears, or even a western look to them. This is one reason why this style is easy to add to your own wardrobe.

Now that you know a bit more about the style itself, it may make it easier for you to go shipping. One of the first things to think about is where you will wear a particular piece. If you are wearing it as part of an overall look, you may be able to get away with something that is larger or more obvious.

Looking at images of costumes from the Victorian era can be helpful before you go shopping. You may find that you are able to adapt vintage jewelry pieces so that they fit the steam punk look. Some of these may be quite affordable and easier to find than pieces that are specific to the steam punk genre.

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.

If you are adding larger jewelry pieces to your outfit, you may want to make sure that you are keeping the rest of your clothing and accessories as understated as possible. This will help accomplish two things. The first is that it will keep the focus on your jewelry. It will also help keep your outfit looking too campy and keep it acceptable for day to day wear.

This particular style can be a lot of fun and its no surprise that it is as popular as it is. Even if you cannot dress this way from head to toe, you can at least enjoy accessories such as earrings that are fun and beautiful to wear.
