Steampunk copper-colored glasses with round dark lenses

For women and men putting together a steampunk look, steampunk glasses are the accessory that instantly completes the face. Steampunk glasses are goggle-style costume glasses with two round, copper-colored cups and dark lenses, worn with a black headband. Wear them to a themed party or costume party, or during a photoshoot with an industrial backdrop.

What exactly do steampunk glasses look like?

• Two round cups with a copper-colored, slightly distressed finish, giving the glasses an old and worn appearance.
• The lenses are darkly tinted, so your eyes are barely visible behind them.
• The cups feature embossed details and raised studs reminiscent of rivets.
• The black band goes around the back of the head, allowing the glasses to also rest loosely on a hat or cap.
• The design is neutral enough for both women and men.

The machinery behind these goggles

This style draws on the nineteenth-century machine room: steam engines, gears, copper, and leather, mixed with fantasy technology that never actually existed. Work goggles like these were once used by blacksmiths and machinists to protect against sparks and steam, and it is precisely this functional design that now makes them one of the most distinctive features of the look. While ordinary party glasses rely primarily on color or humor, these glasses use texture and patina.

How to build a complete outfit around steampunk glasses

Combine the goggles with a black top hat adorned with gears, a jacket with many buttons, and a brown waistcoat. Wear the glasses over your eyes for a bold, mysterious look, or push them up onto your headwear, as shown in the model photo. A chain, pocket watch, leather gloves, and boots complete the look, while a lace collar or corset works well for a feminine version of the outfit.
