Steampunk is a fusion of science, history and fantasy, a subgenre inspire from Victorian era of Britain and Wild West of USA, somewhat a mixture of fantasy, science fiction and advance technological aspect of 19th century. For me steampunk is Victorian era lifestyle with romantic gothic touch and 19th century technological fantasy. K. W. coined the term steampunk in his novel infernal devices. Steampunk is combination of two words steam and punk. Steam, a power engine defines technological and mechanical power while punk is to indicate rebellious nature of people, to show rage or rebel in them. Rebellious way of living of the subgenre can be identified through clothing and accessories they use.

Aeropostale, Inc. is a mall-based specialty retailer of casual and active apparel for young women and men, and teen not-for-profit DoSomething.org announced their fifth annual "Teens for Jeans" campaign. The campaign raises awareness about youth homelessness by encouraging teens to donate the number one requested item at shelters: jeans.

Steampunk, a newly originated sub- culture is the neo version of Victorian era. This sub culture is the combination of history, fantasy and science fiction and has its root in Victorian era but saw emergence during late 1960’s. Came in formation in the mid of twentieth century, this punk culture was in its peak during 1980 and 1990’s and since then its popularity is only rising. Victorian style of clothing in modified version is the main aspect of this genre and most important part of style making for them. Even you have experienced situation where people get dressed up in Victorian clothing and in other furious accessories.

Majority of people who follow this genre are based in Britain and USA but this sub culture is famous international canvas. After Britain and USA Japan has the largest population of this group. There is no set of guidelines for steampunk fashion. Steampunk clothing is accented with technological knowhow and period accessories. Vests, corsets, skirts, blouses, tops, gowns, petticoats, bustles, jackets and other garments like military wear are some of the inspired garments from Victorian period that have undergone changes to suit the punk chic of this sub culture.

The phrase “Steampunk is what happens when Goths discover brown” by Jess Nevins go well with the mood of punk sub-culture. Punks are more inclined towards romance, adult fiction and rude behavior. Same thing that can be easily depicted through steampunk clothes also. Although their clothes are not exactly Victorian in approach but are technically modified Victorian costumes and seen as a proof of more adventurous life. Even modern accessories like mobiles and music players are modified to give them Victorian look.

Steampunk clothes are lighter and easier to move around and have rugged approach. This is because technology of this genre is powered by coal and steam. That is why the shades of most of the clothes are darker in color, may be to hide coal soot. Goggles and leather are significant part of steampunk attire. Goggles to keep soot out of eyes and leather so that fabric long last.

If you are thinking of wearing steampunk wear then movies based on punk culture could prove to be good guide for you. Sleepy Hollow, The League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen, The Time machine are a few name out of many Hollywood movies based on punk sub-culture. In such movies from clothing to setup to storyline are all on the line of Victorian style with a twist of fantasy. Steampunk in itself is complete culture and lifestyle at the same time.

Moreover people think that steampunk attire is unsophisticated and casual but in reality most of the time situation is exactly opposite. Punk fashions induce something in followers which make them highly respectable. Steampunk clothing gives us healthy fusion of bespoke clothing and accessories of industrial age of certain standard that many people could not be able to match.

Steampunk sub-culture is the intersection of creativity, independency and Victorian optimistic view of future. For me it is somewhat an interaction of fiction, romance and science which also reflects in steampunk clothes and victorian clothing.

Punk fashion is much more than modified Victorian clothing, industrial goggle and brass watches. Many people ignore the impact of steampunk clothing but the fact is this style of clothing has hugely affected the whole genre of people belonging to a sub-culture called steampunk. Steampunk dresses are the reflection of individuality and style of people belonging to this subgroup. Their ideas of punk costume include brash colors and venturesome designs. Modern day punk costumes are improvised version of 1980’s punk costumes. Inspite of all accusations and allegations these costumes are the best way of carrying forward the legacy of Victorian era while remaining ultra modern.

All punk clothes are not the sign of rebellious nature that other presume. The punk lifestyle is so much based on design concepts that not only their steampunk clothes even their hairstyle are different form regular styles. Also designing patterns are not limited to their clothes and hair; in their bodies too you will find tattoos of all shapes and sizes in many designs. May be people think that technically modified Victorian style dresses are unsophisticated and casual but in reality numerous people adopted punk style of clothing to show their individuality as regular clothing only aims to provide the same but couldn’t achieve it.

Since origin steampunk clothing is rolling between punks and rock bands. Several rockers have followed this style of clothing. Ramones, Green Day and Blink – 182 are a few name among many existing punk rock bands who took punk clothing. Ramones were the creator of punk rock band while Blink -182 further carried the legacy of Ramones. Punk music of Green Day was on exposing side of government, politics, and religion. It means they had something rebellious inside them against the prevailing rules of society that is why they jumped upon steampunk clothing and punk style rock music to show their agony.

Punk sub-culture are adopted by those people who want to leave the way they want and take dig at existing rules that drive the world. It’s somewhat right that punk sub-culture is not in its peak as it was in 1980 but there is very strong alternative following in fashion and lifestyle. Many international fashion designers have made punk style clothing like steampunk corsets and steampunk gowns as the theme of their dress in fashion shows. There are other people also who don’t share the punk ideology but wear punk dresses because they like it.

Steampunk is the genre of fantasy, fiction and Victorian era history, a philosophy in itself that drift people away from the invisible boundaries which have been put up around. It doesn’t involve in anarchism and nihilism that prevailed during Goth movement rather it induces positivity among people.

Now today you will find mixture of sub-cultures. Somewhere punk sub culture has been tangled or mixed with other subcultures giving us a complete new version of clothing for instance Goth clothing, psychobilly clothing, skate clothing and newly revived steampunk clothing which has the flavor of 1970’s and 1980’s with the essence of steampunk dressing, Victorian clothing and steampunk clothing.

Hang it on hanger and dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not wash with other clothes and while ironing, keep temperature at silk setting.

Cotton Scarves: Cotton is staple fabric but get wrinkled and deep stain very easily. In order to wash cotton scarves, first pre-treat stains if any with cleanser and always use warm water to wash. Never wash cotton cloth with any other stuff of different colors and in different fabric. Color of other fabric can get attached to scarf very easily. Try to wash cotton scarf separately otherwise wash with similar color cotton fabrics. Cotton gets shirked on too much drying so keep drying time shorter. Hang it on clean hanger and place it in mild sunlight making inside out. Never iron them on low heat; it will not affect the wrinkle. Use hot iron smoothly and gently over all area of fabric for a soft and flat scarf.

Woolen scarves: used as winter scarves or shawls, they are the most effective way of keeping oneself warm in winters. Woolen shawls can be washed as any other garment most preferably woolens.
