No matter our size, the one place where we can really have fun is with our fashion. Clothing can be more than just utilitarian, they can be an expression of our personality and the little accouterments like steampunk buttons can signal something about our inner life that many people wouldn't realize otherwise. Being committed to style is nothing new, but today we can cull from a variety of eras and with the internet there are purveyors of every possible niche.
Describing this can be difficult without the benefit of images, but in the simplest sense it is the marriage of nineteenth century Victorian fashion and technological design with the styles of today. A subtle example of this can be a dark woolen women's coat that has a bustle incorporated into it.
In terms of clothing this can include bustles and corsets, but aged up so that it doesn't look like you're wearing a costume. This is the greatest part of fashion - the appropriation of eras and styles into an updated incarnation.
Within movies and art, a way that this steampunk can be applied to others eras is seen in stylized versions of old circuses or carnivals. Sure, people didn't all dress this way in the past, but it's like a retroactive nostalgia for an era that never existed.
It's through buttons, brooches, and jewelry that you can easily see this aesthetic and they are available throughout the internet. They use small gears that are culled from watches and clocks to create a vintage look, but it's a vintage that never existed.
Again, it is the marriage of old time craftsmanship with newer technologies. There are sites that can you a great idea of what this style entails, including home examples of computers that have been transformed through the outside to look as though they're from the nineteenth century.
Playing with image is a fun part of how we present ourselves to the world. It's important to find your own style, irrespective of the trends and steampunk is definitely a fringe movement that is becoming more and more beloved.
