Steampunk is Victorian-era science and science fiction. It's been trendy for a few years now, and has appeal for costume enthusiasts who've grown bored with Renaissance or pirates. If you've seen the recent Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey, Jr., then you know the look. For men's Steampunk Halloween costumes, look for a high-waisted pants, vests, top hats or bowler hats, and lots of chains such as that on a pocket watch. A pocket watch is a must for the Steampunk male costume! Consider, also, accessories such as a musket or walking stick.
Unlike a lot of men's costumes, a Steampunk look is both handsome and comfortable. Your basic outfit will be street clothes: Dress slacks and a dress shirt. You can recycle last year's pirate shirt and boots, add an old-fashioned suit vest, and invest in excellent costume accessories. That top hat makes you taller, too, for a dashing entrance into any costume affair. Most men's Steampunk costumes are solid black, with or without a white shirt, but you can wear gray, brown, or tweed to excellent effect.
