There’s a whole subculture dedicated to the steampunk aesthetic, whether that means clockwork mechanisms, burnished brass and copper, technology of the Industrial Revolution, or Victorian-inspired clothing topped off with goggles or monocles. A look around sites such as Steampunk Fashion or Brass Goggles leaves one quite astonished at the level of creativity being poured into the genre. Here we display some of our favourite steampunk photos from around the web, some of which might prove to be useful dressup inspirations.

(Just to re-iterate, dressing up is not compulsory at White Mischief and we invite guests to dress however they like, whether it evokes the theme or not! These images are for those who wish to explore the steampunk theme: Click image to view full size)
