The Steampunk world is one filled with romanticism, imagination, and fantasy! After coming to life in the '80s, the Steampunk movement has continually been on the rise in pop culture, namely in the fashion world.

The Steampunk aesthetic combines retro, romance, and revolution, and people just can't seem to get enough of this trend.

After gaining momentum in the high-fashion world, it didn't take long for Steampunk-inspired clothing to trickle down into the mainstream fashion world and to become available for all Steampunk lovers (like us!).

Because Steampunk fashion combines so many intricate and detailed elements, it can be tricky to know exactly where to start when making this movement your own!

Accessories are a huge part of what makes Steampunk the unique aesthetic that it is, so to give you a push in the right direction, we have compiled a list of 5 Steampunk accessories that we think are must-haves for your Steampunk-inspired wardrobe!

Let's go!

1. Steampunk Goggles. We're starting our list off strong with one of our favorite elements of the Steampunk aesthetic - bold, retro goggles.

A symbol of industry in the Victorian age, these goggles are a nod to the steam engines and machines of the past (and they look super cool).

2. The Steampunk Top Hat. It wouldn't be Steampunk without a top hat! The Steampunk top hat combines the traditional trend of the top hat in the Victorian age, often decorated with materials and designs that allude to the technological revolution.

You can let your imagination run wild here with this example of detailed creativity pictured below. This is an opportunity to really make the look your own!

 3. The Steampunk Corset. Because the Steampunk movement is so rooted in the Victorian age, it makes sense that the corset would be a must-have Steampunk accessory!

What makes a corset a Steampunk corset is the use of bold elements such as buckles, belts, and studs, and to give you an idea of what we mean, take a look at our beautiful Atomic Black Brocade Steel Boned Underbust Corset!

This corset makes the absolute perfect Steampunk accessory with all of the standard Steampunk elements being represented. This is a great go-to corset for your Steampunk fantasies and will give any of your outfits that extra pop!

5. The Steampunk Bag. Last but not least, the Steampunk bag is an accessory that has the boldness to really step up your Steampunk game, no matter which outfit you choose!

This bag has an undeniable toughness to it and combined with the softer and more feminine elements of the Victorian age, it will make you feel like the powerful, revolutionary woman that you truly are.

Take a look at our Atomic Brown Leather Holster Bag! Although pictured here around the hip, this bag has the versatility to transform into a shoulder holster bag, as well as a cross-body purse.

The belts, buckles, and chains make it so incredibly Steampunk and the opportunity to switch up the structure of the bag makes it the perfect piece to complete any Steampunk look your heart desires!
