Grey Academia - Blog Posts

Sometimes when u go away, you grow away!!

Can we just ignore the stars, so that the world could be ours?

not mine, all credit goes to the original creators i just thought they were beautiful

dark academic friend group things (for those of us who actually have friends)

group outings to old historical buildings and libraries

 the looks given to each other when you already know the material from spending your spare time in the library together, reading it for fun

 musing with one another in a language that noone around understands   (preferably latin)

quoting philosophers and authors during casual conversation

swooning together about the overpriced tweed jacket you saw in the window

looking over your opposing balconies and flying paper plane notes with inscriptions to one another

inspired by a post i saw on pinterest but didn’t get the chance to pin because i lost it in the depths of my feed ~Amimi

gettin that  a e s t h e t i c wardrobe (so you can feel like the real deal)

hey hey hey! so i was holding off on this post since at first i didn’t really want to just tell you what to buy and you go off and get it.  n o.  n o.  n o. that’s not how we do it here. instead i’m going to make a few suggestions and things that may aspire you so you can adapt and play with these to suit yourself! alright so first things first: c o l o u r s - think autumn (the season where all dark academics come out from their  underground hideouts and late night cafes and explore the surface) - think maroons and dark plumes, oranges and mustards, reds of all different   shades (we like to keep it diverse here) and dark greens next things next: items of clothing i think as long as you stick to the color scheme most things should work out fine but a lot of people seem to think turtlenecks and expensive tweed jackets are a must when in reality that’s not the case (tbh all i have is one turtleneck) - think blazers and plaid shirts and denim jackets with wristwatches and pendants - think mom jeans and thin belts and sweaters (mixing it up a lil) or even an     off-white tshirt with a fitting print

and last things last: y o u so as much as the dark academia fandom distinctly wears and deems as dark academic i think you should be able to wear whatever you like -you’re here because you like the look and feel of it but what about those who  can’t afford it or just don’t feel comfortable? those are my exact thoughts honestly wear what you think suits you at the end of the day stick with the basic colours and/or vibe and boom! academic

just in case your still a bit stuck:
