10 Dark Academia Outfits & Style Guide

[@ErikaDwyer]

Let me know what other styles and aesthetics that you would like to see in this sort of format! Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@shivanshi4178]

Light academia or y2k!

[@elisarodriguez7163]

I would love to see cottagecore 🥰🥰

[@annamariagioti7950]

You should definately help us out on how to keep this style on very summer hot days! Also share your accesories tips that help this style come out the most!

[@karimabou8784]

4:25 is where the outfits starts

[@bananachip92]

I absolutely adored outfits 8-10. dark academia is hard to wear during the summer, but during the fall and winter this is basically all I embody lol

[@G1NZOU]

What I love about this style as a guy is it's so accessible to both genders, and even to NB, you get the crossover of fairly unisex fashion with the pants and sweater vests. Just today I got a great dark green tweed suit, and I'm planning on using the pants or jacket separately to mix up some different looks. For me my favourite footwear for my dark academia looks is my chocolate suede boots, they're just so comfy and warm in cool weather while also being dressy enough to wear with chinos and wool dress pants, though I do want to get a pair of brown brogues so I can accessorise with some patterned socks more often.

"Old Money" style can have lighter colors and be more traditional and delicate. I see "Academia Dark" as a Harvard student and buy vintage pants at thrift stores. The "Old Money" is the one who got rich and made rich friends. I loved your videos in both styles.

[@isabellegore9233]

Your eyeliner is always so perfect!! Would love to see a makeup tutorial as well, love this video 💕

[@ErikaDwyer]

Thank you! I will definitely post a makeup tutorial eventually! ❤️❤️

[@anaanurag1106]

Loved this video! Would love a similar video on Light academia and cottagecore!

[@ErikaDwyer]

Thank you so much! I love those both as well. Will definitely be thinking up another one like this soon!

[@DenisZaharenko]

I love the outfits you made. Most of my outfits are exactly these interestingly. (Male here btw)

[@offbeatkiki]

I love this video format of breaking down the style and then showing examples! It's very technical and efficient but still easy to understand. I wanna do fashion videos soon and you've definitely inspired me. Can't wait to see more from you

[@ErikaDwyer]

Ah thank you so much! Brand new one coming soon 💖

[@Camilam1021]

I loved this video! I was wondering if in a future video you could talk about your favorite places to shop and where we might be able to find similar items!

[@ErikaDwyer]

Yes for sure! A lot of these were older items that I had in my wardrobe, I would say a lot of them are from Uniqlo, Kameli Boutique but also some second hand too :)

[@dunemae]

5:00 and 6:52 I LOVE these outfits so much!!

[@AnNguyen-qs1uy]

Can you do one for light academia? 🥺

[@LidoolAmy]

This video was amazing!!! I totally love this style. Would also just like to know where you got your pieces from!

[@ErikaDwyer]

Thank you so much! A LOT of the pieces are older but I will put together a list in the next couple of days and post it!

[@MrLachris]

[@Ms21Dancer]

Where can I find pants like the pair from outfits 1 and 2? They are fantastic. Thanks for making this video, especially for explaining how the style works with examples of what types of items to use.

[@IsobelDeLeon]

this is such a great video!!!! sooo helpful and would definitely love to see more like this on different aesthetics!!! 🥰😍😍😍

[@ErikaDwyer]

Thank you Izzy! I'm glad you enjoyed and yes, more coming soon!

[@blackdiamondtarot2446]

what i find cute is to tuck the pants into your boots its super cute and unique

[@crystalr.castillo2784]

these outfits were great. love the t-shirt look. 👍🏽

[@Va_lle]

The dark academia subculture is all about the topics. Philosophy, question behind morals, death, etc. all the dark topics. That is basically where the name stems from. It’s a subculture that questions anything and everything. The style just makes it aesthetically pleasing. You can think of the books: dead poets society, if we were villains, Jekyll and Hyde…

[@ma.criszelledelvalle389]

I would love to see coquette!

[@reece_cup6816]

For outfit six I think that a brown or black short sleeve collared shirt would look good layered underneath the tee

[@f6osha]

I love this , new subbie ! I love this style but didn’t know what it was called as English is not my first language I already gravitate towards those items and have them in my wardrobe was looking for my inspiration and I stumbled around your Channel ! I love it !

[@judithmiller4556]

Your such a lovely girl. Liked it all.

[@jungi001]

So glad this kind of fashion seems to become more and more popular. This streetwear kind of fashion is really getting on my nerves.

[@AThayx]

ok but how do i use it in Brazil? i'll melt if i use it hahahahha

[@elizabethtorres6259]

I want this aesthetic so badly but I live in a hot climate

[@ErikaDwyer]

I live in a hot climate too! I would suggest lightweight fabrics and maybe swapping the heavy trousers from skirts ❤️💖

[@KathleenGreer-hk6yl]

Look at the Indiana Jones and the Mummy movies. They involves academics working in tropical locations.

[@gkgk6439]

Is there a vibrant academia? like a very colorful lively themed academia

[@reginasemenenko148]

Is this a clothing style? When did this become a thing?

[@MegInASheathDress]

You shouldn't have to wear animal products for fashion statements. There are vegan belts, shoes, and bags. Nobody needs to wear wool or silk. Plenty of cruelty free fabrics that would fit this aesthetic.

[@ErikaDwyer]

Most vegan fabrics are derived from fossil fuels so I wouldn’t call them cruelty free either. Best bet is to shop second hand if this is something that is of concern.

[@kettlerscottage3927]

Aren’t most ‘vegan’ items made from materials that are usually used in fast fashion and based on plastics ergo do not biodegrade? Animals products are naturally occurring therefore better for the environment.
