Steampunk a Rapildly Growing Subculture

Steampunk is a subculture that is rapidly gaining popularity among other subcultures such as goths, punks, cybergoths, industrial music fans, gamers, and geeks.
Steampunk fashion has no set guidelines, but tends to synthesize modern styles influenced by the Victorian era. This may include gowns, corsets, petticoats and bustles; suits with vests, coats and spats; or military-inspired garments. 

Steampunk-influenced outfits will often be accented with a mixture of technological and period accessories: timepieces, parasols, goggles and ray guns. Modern accessories like cell phones or music players can be found in steampunk outfits, after being modified to give them the appearance of Victorian-made objects.

 Steampunk hats come in many different styles, shapes and sizes. From oversized to miniature top-hat styles these hats are often embelished with gear sprockets and feathers.
