Steampunk is all about creativity and your ability to think outside the box. Everyday things that are used in a particular way could make for a great outfit with the right creative mind. Sometimes, a great steampunk look is possible by just altering how you wear different things. Take your steampunk goggles for example. They are supposed to be on your eyes but, there are other many and creative ways that you can wear them to better complement your outfit. Here are five ways to wear your steampunk goggles.
-
Over your eyes
This is one of the most feared ways of putting on your steampunk goggles. Everyone knows that real steampunks never wear their goggles over their eyes. It is for the fear of implying that the goggles are ideally useful as opposed to them just being a fashion accessory. Nevertheless, you will still find the best of the best in the field wearing their goggles over their eyes. Usually this is for photography purposes.
But, if you intend to wear your steampunk goggles over your eyes, you might need to make sure adjust them. Otherwise, you will be the victim of a severe headache if they happen to have those multiple lenses especially if you intend to have them on for a long period of time.
-
On your head
Of all the different ways that you can wear your goggles, this is perhaps the most common. It might not be very well inspired but in the steampunk circles, it is considered the least offensive-looking and, it is a great option if you can’t come up with other creative ways of adorning your accessories. It is a great fail safe.
Also, with all that apparel and addition, having the goggles on your head not only makes them more noticeable, but, it also happens to look pretty cool.
-
On your hat
This is where the creativity starts. The ingenuity of wearing both your hat and your goggles on your head must be very captivating. It still gives the goggles the ability to catch other people’s attention and at the same time, allow them to remain as useless as possible and to remain the fashion accessory that they are intended to be. Whoever came up with this idea should be crowned the don of steampunk. It is not only cool but equally whacky.
-
On your neck
This is something that you will not see every day but its super creative and super cool too! It is casual and a great option for hipsters and also for you if you want to break away from the extremely serious steampunk look and adopt a more casual look.
-
On your pet
Well, here is one you did not think of. You don’t have to wear your goggles, you can have your pet wear them for you. At times, goggles can be a clichéd accessory but, by having them on your dog, you give people the chance of getting some humor out of it. Not to mention you get some much need credit points. The best thing about having them on your pet is, they don’t really mind how rugged they look.
Steampunk goggles are a critical part of an ultimate steampunk look. But, you don’t always want to be wearing them the same way. You need to break-away from the monotony. By having different ways to wear your accessories, you have the option of even wearing one pair on multiple occasions. Just don’t make it a habit.
