Celebrate Halloween with the Ultimate Steampunk Theme!

Halloween is a holiday that can be celebrated however you see fit, so why not embrace the fun and creativity of Steampunk this Spooky Season and make your Halloween costume one you’ll want to flaunt all night long! With the addition of Victorian-era inspired Steampunk clothing and accessories, your costume can be more than just the same old style you’re used to seeing! Trade devil horns for a fun Steampunk top hat and your zombie pirate look for a cool and sexy Steampunk Pirate costume and spend your Halloween looking unique and cool!

How to style yourself for a Steampunk Halloween

Steampunk is a gorgeous subculture that is often identified through the fashion, which is a melding of classic Victorian style items with ruffles, layers, and fine tailoring and quirky accessories made from gears and gadgets that combine old mechanics with new technologies. There are so many ways to incorporate Steampunk into your Halloween costume, from dressing up as a preexisting Steampunk character or creating one of your own, to making a Steampunk version of your favourite costume idea to really stand apart from the crowd!

How can I add Steampunk style to my costume?

For a fast and simple Steampunk look, try adding some Steampunk accessories such as a cool hat, fascinator, belt, or arm band to your outfit. This is a fun way to make yourself stand out while representing alternative style without committing to a full new costume! For a more filled-out Steampunk costume, start with a pair of awesome Steampunk pants or a gorgeous Steampunk skirt, and top it off with an assortment of cool Victorian-style Steampunk accessories such as a cog-covered top hat, a pair of goggles, Steampunk gloves, a decorative belt, and some very popular boots.

What kind of Steampunk Characters can I dress up as?

If you are looking for a pre-existing Steampunk character to dress up as this Halloween, there are many awesome ones to choose from! Here are just a few you might enjoy:

• Hellboy and his friend, Abe Sapien from the hit comic and films • Ichabod Crane of Sleepy Hollow fame
• Jim Hawkins, Captain Amelia, the cyborg John Silver from the amazing cartoon film Treasure Planet
• Any of the characters from the Steampunk film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
• Van Helsing, Frankenstein’s monster, or Anna from the creative 2004 film Van Helsing

Can I create my own Steampunk Characters?

If you want to be even more creative while you fill your bag with candy, then why not create a new Steampunk version of your favourite film, comic, or television characters such as:

• Superhero characters such as Batman, Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, Batgirl, or Deadpool
• Villains including Loki, Poison Ivy, Thanos, Harley Quinn, or Darth Vader
• Disney characters including Snow White, Elsa, Jasmine, Ursula, Prince Eric, or Belle

Your only limit when it comes to creating a Steampunk character for Halloween is your own imagination!
