I divide "steampunk" into two basic groups:

- Shiny Brass
and
- Old Metal

The first is what our steampunk clothing items are like (high Victorian lords and ladies type of outfits, shiny metal, romance and adventure).

The second is what I think our steampunk CI is more like (worker-bee Victorian era chaps and chits type of outfits, rusty metal, and working to survive in a distopian universe).
I will look more into this as I'm trying to learn some fashion for my characters.
That I'm a practical almost no fashion sense IRL person isn't helping.
