dark academia clothing essentials 🕰🕯📚

[@Szép_emlék]

I am a English learner from Japan and your English is so clearly!!! This video helps me so much both of outfits and language!🙂🙂🙂

[@geologick]

Have you done any studies in philosophy? The reason I ask is because as I watch your Dark Academia videos, I could easily see you giving backgrounds of different philosophers in history, and then discussing your personal philosophy on the topics they cover. You've just always struck me as a philosopher yourself, and I'd love to see what you could do with it. All in a dark academia style, of course :)

[@justlanchen]

I have a little bit! I've never thought to do that but thats such a great idea. I definitely need a refresher on existentialism

[@geologick]

@@justlanchen It might even be cool to go over the different philosophies, like what is stoicism, existentialism, nihilism, etc...not trying to plan your vids for you or anything, just saying what I personally would love to see!

[@scentsoftravelmeditation]

Philosophy is V. popular nowadays & not just in academic settings

[@scentsoftravelmeditation]

In fact if you want to be a good philosopher you shouldn’t receive most of your philosophical education formally. Because it is rigid/ structured which defies the purpose of philosophy Unless you have a teacher who is similar to Socrates

[@barbyazzie5260]

Ralph Lauren has alot of academia styles. Corduroys, vests, plaids etc.

[@waingirl]

I am 51 (gen x), and I love both dark and light academia. The short skirt is a young look for me, and I know I would feel uncomfortable. Would you ever do a video for the over 40 crowd who loves this esthetic?

[@Warcrimeenthusiast]

Wow Ive been wearing the Dark Academia aesthetic for 30 years didnt know it was a thing

[@claricdreams8018]

I live in the tropical side of the country. It gets hot here, especially in the summer. (it can reach up to 40 degrees) and it's hard for me to wear dark/light academia clothing, but I've been watching your videos and this video to get an idea of what to wear. I find it helpful, so thank you. When I can't decide on a DA look, I just watch your videos, and suddenly get an idea of what to wear. I love your fashion videos and your approach to this aesthetic.

[@justlanchen]

Omg I loveeee that you get some ideas from my looks. It’s definitely achievable in summer as long as you get some short sleeves and skirts🥰🥰🥰

[@liapotter4369]

this video is really helpful. I don't have a lot of neutral brown and black colors, my wardrobe is all bright colors, but when i move out I am definitely going to decorate my house or apartment with a da look and I'm going to buy/thrift all the dark academia clothes to wear all the time. literally. I cannot WAIT! These clothes are super cool, and the dark academia style fits me so well. I have blonde hair, and browns always go well with it.

[@justlanchen]

I’m so excited for you! Try hitting the goodwill bins if you have them. It’s thee most affordable way to get some vintage clothes!!

[@liapotter4369]

@@justlanchen Where, I live, I can actually bike to a goodwill and another really good thrift shop called St. Vincent de Pauls, which is actually a chain thrift shop! I'm underage though, so I can't buy anything without asking my parents, and I'm homeschooled so I can't go out. And the fact that I already have clothes, but they're kind of meh. Like I'll wear them, but I don't pay attention to the way I dress. Yesterdy, after I watched your video on dark academia clothes must, I actually put together an outfit!

[@noraperltoft1149]

I personally love to incorperate corduroy, in both jackets and pants, i have a beige jacket and a pair of emerald pants and i feel like those also fit the aestethic very well. I've found mine thrifting so I'm shure anyone can find some if you look hard enough

[@chrisakarazor9612]

Corduroy is great

[@bia5141]

Lucky me, I think I have really similar black high boots and I had them since forever 😊

[@justlanchen]

that is extremely lucky!

[@dannynutshell]

i NEED that black vest omg so beautiful!

[@scentsoftravelmeditation]

Unsure about everything else but I’d probably buy a Sherlock costume 😹

[@hauntingbeauty]

When I think of darkness, I think of Alexander McQueen. Beautiful silhouettes, dark bold colors, daring designs

[@dottieland7061]

Really interesting video, I live in Japan, I’m like goth/ dark academia and what I find is if I find something I have been looking for something for ages and I find it I buy 2. As I always have problems finding these type of clothes. My husband is English and we always go back there.

[@kpaxian6044]

Your videos are so damn fun to watch, Lanchen. And you are so down to earth and seem like a genuinely kind person. ❤

[@justlanchen]

🥺🥺🥺 youre so sweet for saying that

[@kayaice44]

This super cute black cat suits Dark academia aesthetics the most! 😊

[@marianneblack6503]

This is amazing, I adore this aesthetic (and you always style your pieces so well)!

[@justlanchen]

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

[@ede2362]

Do you perhaps know where to buy dark academia dresses? 🥲 I am so frustated and I found shops like linennaive but apparently it's located in China and a whole scam.

[@hollyhechavarria444]

Thread up is a great resource for classic design J Jill..Ann Klien..I love Ralph Lauren..and Banan Republic

[@hollyhechavarria444]

I meant Anne Taylor...lol

[@imagromlin]

i NEED to go thrifting omg, maybe i’ll go tomorrow 😅 hm, sunday maybe isn’t the best day though…

[@nessienightshade]

Great pieces 👏👏 I've been so lost with fashion lately....

[@justlanchen]

GIRL SAME

[@dbrown8351]

Awesome video- I love all the pieces. Beautiful!

[@justlanchen]

thank you so much!!

[@karapedersen1927]

Absolutely garden your lucky to live were you are. Arizona sometimes is harder to grow things. But working on our backyard now so thank you for sharing definitely gave me some inspiration.

[@ossaobscura]

Great tips and explanations! I love the look of tailored jackets but end up wearing slouchy cardigans like an old professor, lol!

[@justlanchen]

oh yes a cardigan is also a staple! I dont know why I didn't include that 😅 I love a good professor look

[@Almosthomeforever]

This was the best on this subject I ever saw! Thank you! You look beautiful in all these!

[@Joyfillied]

Can you do this video & the one you referenced for light academia (and other academias & aesthetics)?

[@candacew2437]

love this video!

[@stonks119]

is it possible you find the exact sweater vest you bought on shein? i would be suuper thankful if you still have the link of the exact product :)

[@deflamboyantebloedspecht4386]

Hiya, what would be your take on the male fashion side of the equation? Would love to know :)

[@kode1na507]

any academia aesthetic bases on dressing classic and appropriate, i think that wearing for example hats indoors ruins the outfits making them look forced

[@eugenielakatos-ys8us]

you look amazing 😆😆😁😁😍

[@BeautyBuzzyBee]

THE INTRO IS EVERYTHING! What song is that in the background at the start? Would love to know!

[@alhv1352]

Black hasn't so much to do with dark academia. Since Chanel we use black as a colour for dressing, but not before, and in the european classic university clothes is not used at all except in a very few things.

[@christianperchaluk6514]

What brand are those loafers? love em

[@justlanchen]

Beau today! bit.ly/3sHxs2F I have a discount code too. It’s LANCH10

[@AdadeMarchenay]

oooh Love your necklace!!! Can i buy it somewhere?

[@justlanchen]

I actually have no idea where its from, I found it behind my washer and dryer when I moved. It might be worth something

[@AdadeMarchenay]

Graciaaas!!!

[@someonecool8454]

villanelle, is that you?

[@psychology4introverts]

very helpful indeed

[@Slovjan]

You look like Keira Kneightley or at least her sister. :)

[@blyatcyka8105]

My dumb ass thought that the "dark" part refered to the dark colours 😅

[@madisonnn683]

You are the most beautiful person ever.

[@justlanchen]

what noooo!! oh thats so nice!! 😭😭

[@TheItemGuru]

Can you do a list of e girl activities video? Or do some videos covering e girls?

[@justlanchen]

Oh yes totally!!

[@mariacabrera2850]

🖤

[@Andrew-c6s6t]

Dark academia is just posh punk

[@giovannyvalencia1188]

Please, more women dressed like that! 🙏

[@witchy_swiftie]

[@justlanchen]
