If you’re looking for something slightly different to spruce up your Steampunk outfit, then a monocle might be just what you’re needing. This article will look at some of the best Steampunk monocles available online.
But first, what is a monocle? A monocle is like half a pair of glasses, designed to enhance the vision in one of your eyes. They tend to be worn by long sighted people who only have an issue in one of their eyes and don’t want to wear glasses because of this reason.
During the late Victorian period, monocles were associated with wealthy and upper-class men. This is why the monocle is considered Steampunk, because of its popularity in the Victorian period. The good thing is that most Steampunk outfits will suit the addition of a monocle, it is not only limited to wealthy upper-class men with a top hat. The wearing of the monocle in Steampunk may even be seen to symbolise something completely different than it did in the Victorian period. So, let’s take a look at some of the best Steampunk monocles that are available online.
