Neo-victorian / steampunk. Sometimes classy, mostly just brassy. When it’s done well, it’s wonderful… note that none of these dapper gentlemen has a fucking Nerf Maverick anywhere in sight.

Edit:

I described those fine gentlemen, which seem to be getting some unanticipated attention, as steampunk / neo-Victorian. However, it’s been brought to my attention that the outfits are rather more based on Regency-era fashions, from a half-century earlier — the era of Pride & Prejudice.

Easy mistake to make if you’re not a fashion student (and I’m not). I will stand by that it looks way cooler than what’s usually called steampunk. Most of you seem to agree! I think we’ve all learned a little something today. *single tear*

There you have it! In conclusion,

Hello, ladies.

Regency Era menswear, unf. I want those clothes. Get in my wardrobe, you ridiculously sexy coats and waistcoats and neckwear, you.
