When looking for answers, I found many have weighed in on what Steampunk fashion consists of...having sifted through a multitude of opinions I have come up with my own take on it...forgive me if you find my interpretation lacking!
From what I have surmised, Steampunk fashion has no set guidelines, but rather is a synthesis of modern styles influenced by those styles made popular in the Victorian era. Often representative of clothing found in steampunk literature (A Clockwork Orange), it's portrayed in modern day books, film and in the game-world as an artful combination of Victorian, American West, Alternative World, Fantasy and Horror all rolled into one intriguing look. It's that simple, or perhaps, it's that complex - dress Victorian and then add whatever.
Steampunk is about creating an outfit that delights the senses, entertains the wearer and engages the viewer. It would seem there is no color code or rules against combining with other styles....it's really up to the imagination of the wearer. How great is that? Fiona seems to like it...
