Steampunk fiction often also involves Victorian Era fashion and culture, but I think this is largely superfluous
Hmm. I wonder what essential steampunk costume would look like, then. I’m sure it would have lots of pockets. Maybe the clothes would always look like they had been designed from scratch to accommodate the specializations of the wearer.
Police would probably wear some kind of small shield on their shoulder, suggesting that they’re ready to stop/protect someone at any moment, as that their purpose.
Affluence would be signaled not with high quality versions of ordinary clothes, but with a special kind of rectangular, leather, intricately patterned bag that the rich would carry under-arm, these would be referred to as (and would have evolved from) “wallets”, the suggestion being that they need a copious amount of currency to be accessible to them at all times in case they face a sudden need to buy something expensive, as that is their purpose.
