How to Wear Dark Academia in HOT Climates

[@davidkonevky7372]

It's kinda depressing how I have a liking of fashion for cold climates in a hot country lmao, the irony

[@asfakazi3156]

I live in India bro 😭 and on top of that in the middle part where the hot climate is too much

[@CUTE-ve1ix]

Couldn't relate more

[@MirA12334]

I live in a "cold" climate but from may til September it still feels too hot to wear things like dark academia. 😭😭I get so sweaty

[@anna_su1]

Same, I live in tropical country and I'm sweaty😂

[@megmartz8607]

I needed this so much! All the classic dark academia outfits seem to include a trench coat or turtleneck and where I live there are only two or three months of the year you can wear that without instantaneous heatstroke. And yes please to dark cottagecore, that sounds perfect for me cause I live in the woods.

[@dressrelief]

So glad i can help! Gotta start planning a dark cottagecore lookbook 😁

[@SincerelyGia.]

Same

[@peachy_reina]

Arizona lol

[@wynignatius9289]

Philippines is under hot climate. But still boosts in culture and heritage. Filipino Dark Academia is like channeling your inner Jose Rizal (national hero) or Francisco Balagtas while you're in an Hispanic Filipino heritage house. Or walking alone in the rain in Intramuros or Old Manila.

[@shanemarinarvaez2225]

ooooh yaasss

[@RitaIronadi]

Honestly this comment makes me want to visit the Philippines and walk in the rain in Old Manila, wearing the dark academia outfits.

[@sharalinn2639]

Right? It's looks nice to wear but impractical whenever the climate is hot. I only ever wear academia fits whenever it's heavily raining or extremely cold :(

[@fernandafernandesmatioli9664]

Since I live in Brazil, it's extremely hard to deal with the weather and I was almost giving up on finding dark academia clothes, but those tips will definitely help me a lot Thanks!!!

[@dressrelief]

So glad these tips help!! ☺️

[@carolyns.9377]

ooh I'd be super interested in a dark cottagecore lookbook. All the tips in this video were spot on!

[@dressrelief]

Definitely gonna start planning one! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@maturelydisapointingmember2699]

Dark cottagecore...the more I think about it I love that

[@Kritagya2007]

1) button downs 2) mock neck shirt 3) pleated trousers 4) plaid skirts 5) long cardigans 6) strapy sandals 7) leather bags, vintage jewelry.

[@erinbathie-moore8478]

With exchanging the long sleeve butting downs for shorter ones, you can actually just unbutton the cuffs and roll up your sleeves. It saves money and looks nice and gives a working aesthetic. I'd also look into lighter clothing as dark colours tend to absorb heat

[@dressrelief]

Yes great points!!

[@phuoctrinh9192]

my turtlenecks: exist my blouses: im about to end this man's whole career

[@miuw974]

my summer clothes are just pretty casual like tshirts and thights because the summer is extreamly hot in the place that i live, but now on im highly inspired

[@dressrelief]

Thanks for watching! So glad I could help ☺️

[@alessiaforte7411]

Ohhh you should absolutely do a video on dark cottagecore!!

[@lovelylavendertea4714]

Aussie here, thank youu

[@gliz2y]

same

[@shuhussein1276]

I love the dark academia aesthetic and i live i Maldives so this was very helpful

[@supernoodle704]

i’m currently utterly freezing and will stay that way most of the time where i am but i feel so comfy on this channel that i’m sticking around to watch.

[@dressrelief]

Aww thanks for watching anyways 🥰💞

[@thenoodlesaresoggy3728]

I live in the Philippines and it's quite difficult to find and wear DA clothes thank you so muuuch 🥺

[@mintimin8707]

Same here. Gonna make my dark academia dream come true

[@harty5485]

Another option is to go for a more tomb raider/ safari aesthetic, but of course there are some negative connotations associated with those looks

[@subha111]

I live right on the equator, I needed this. Thank you!

[@dressrelief]

Glad i could help 🥰

[@adiru6125]

im light academia but imma watch dis its just basically the sane just with lighter colors/nude

[@CaseyTheWeirdo583]

This is genuinely so helpful! I’ve been trying to find summer outfits in various aesthetics but I feel like all that ever comes up is jeans or sweaters with shorts. Thank you!

[@kiwis7449]

this was so helpful, I live in Florida and it can get pretty hot. plus I get over-heated very easily.

[@no-name-eu3ew]

thank you so much, i live in the middle of the desert so this is perfect!

[@lexgrrez]

I live in california so you are a GODSEND

[@lunablairrr]

Thanks! I needed this. I live in a tropical country. 🖤🖤🖤

[@hiraethai]

Exactly the video I needed. I live in an extremely hot place, which is sad 'cause I love the cold and especially the Dark Academia clothes. One more subscriber ❤

[@160p2GHz]

This is so sweet, I appreciate it. I live in the desert so there's only part of the year you can bear to wear pants much less layers. One trick I have is I keep my outer layers/jackets at work so I can walk into work in my tank or crop tee layer and put it on in the ac. Skirts and shorts actually look very cute with jackets and chunky boots, oxfords and DA sandals imo.

[@anaysha3396]

i live in malaysia so the weather is hot but at the same time i want to dressed up dark academia outfits too... thanks a lot for this video!

[@pandamilk6776]

I needed this video, as I live in a tropical country!

[@annexxe]

thank you so much for this video!!! i live in malaysia where the weather is always HOT so i rlly will keep the tips in mind :)

[@dressrelief]

Happy i could help! 😊

[@monicaprzestrzelski4677]

This is so helpful for when summer comes around where I live, I may not live in an “always hot” climate but…it does get very hot and humid in the summer here from may to about late September to early October and having the aesthetic and trying to keep it as a capsule wardrobe to save space is a little bit of a challenge

[@dindranew.6808]

Dark Cottagecore/Goblincore; Goth Academia; Witchy Vintage; Witchy Edwardian!

[@alrenobenjamin6566]

Ahh yes I needed this The Caribbean and Latin america region has some extreme equator heat going on at times lol Thanks💜

[@jhanzelita]

I remembered watching your dark academia videos, like the outfits and hairstyles last 7 or 8 months ago I think (I even comment I think) and here I am again, because I still can't let go of my love for this aesthetic. Also, I love the fact that you never stop making DA videos! Can't wait for more❤

[@duck1590]

About the dicky, try with a sleeveless shirt instead! You still have your arms uncovered but it stays in place better and you can remove a layer if needed :)

[@thewitch2810]

And then there's me, trying to force a glow-up before quarantine ends.

[@lolafranco7399]

Aye same

[@victoriabertoldo445]

This is the perfect end to my year, (re)watching your videos while listening to the rain :)

[@darblez]

THANK YOU I LIVE IN TEXAS SO I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH

[@janet9568]

Tysm for this! I live in Egypt and for the longest time the reason I looked forward to winter was because I could include dark academia into my wardrobe, but now I can try to express my dark academic self in fashion all year long edit: damn shawty winter this year isn't ending and we all know what that means 😻😻

[@mirai2806]

Meanwhile this year seems like it’s 95% summer I’m dying here :’)

[@reee2420]

Thank you so much this is very helpful!! Especially for me who lives in the Philippines, it's so hot here.

[@dressrelief]

[@dressrelief]

Thanks for watching, glad I could help!!

[@emilypaulsen6030]

I was just trying to find dark cottagecore inspo! A video look book would be very helpful. 😊

[@raspar6]

Great points! Thoughtful yet concise! It terms of dark academia for summer, I somehow immediately think of some kind of "Archeology Aesthetic..." Like you're a thoughtful academic but you're also exploring the jungle. Or just a boarding school student exploring the woods on a summer break... Either way, I feel like the accessories are key!

[@marconieadventures5734]

This video was awesome! I currently live in a climate that can get very hot in the summer months, so this was so helpful!

[@daisycarlile8395]

i live in outback australia where the temps are 34-39 degrees Celsius in spring and 42 degrees Celsius CONSTANTLY for summer. Theese tips are solid, but mostly i just wear a long sleeve cotton or rayon button up and rayon wrap/apron style ankle length skirt and a wide brim sunhat.... anything beyond that just cannot be done haha! most here who are actually out of doors do wear very sensible clothing for heat and sun - cotton, denim and hats........... far less skirts though :)

[@stavdamari8143]

love it! thank you, would like more videos like this

[@bubbleteaa2269]

Thank you I am nearing summer where I live and want to wear something different this summer than just shorts and a graphic tea I have also really wanted to try this style so THANK YOU :)

[@mrs.carciofi623]

I love your videos! You are giving your best to help us as much as possible and im grateful for that :) I'm and infp so people tend to think cottagecore is a well-fit for me but im also a dark academia lover haha.I think dark cottagecore can be a good mix!

[@dressrelief]

Just glad i can help 🥰 wow interesting i didnt know about the links between personality types and aesthetics! Anywhere i can learn more about this?

I actually live in a place where the weather is suitable for dark academia clothes but I got into a clg which lies in a very hot region.

[@coleslaw4249]

Ayyyy Florida gang

[@talithasalvia2205]

thank you so much! i live in indonesia an i'm new to this dark academia aesthetic so thanks, this helped me a lot! anyway, i'm a hijabi and it's quite confusing how to mix this and match that in DA style. is it possible if maybe you could make a video about some tips abt it? thank you so much!! keep up your good work

[@dressrelief]

I’ll add it to my list of ideas :)

[@linda26susy]

this is just what i was looking for! thanks a lot!!!

[@maplenlilac]

Hello there~ I just came across the first dark academia clip and decided to check this one as well for obvious reason. I actually didn't purposely search for fashion but one day a clip of dark academia outfit showed up in my feed and out of curiosity I checked it out.. and realized that it's what my most used style actually is lol! I have plenty of plaid skirts (accumulated overtime because hey I love plaids!), button up shirts (for college and work), vest (I think this works perfectly too if it's too warm for a coat/cardigan!), and cardigan (though I don't wear it often these days), and I also wear oxford shoes and loafers w/ socks most of the time. My colleagues called it chic and K-style but I never actually thought about a name to it.. so anyway I'm rambling but nice videos! Keep it up~

[@soupman5836]

I live in Australia so I don’t really have to option to wear classic dark academia clothing all year round but I’m so bad at summer clothes 😅 thank you for making this video

[@christiana_mandalynn]

Woah these tips are fantastic. I live in a super hot/dry desert climate so I had started converting to short sleeve button downs. I love them. I figured out the fabrics the hard way on my own 🥵😅 I would have never thought to look at athletic clothing 🤯

[@bluelemonade557]

Thank you so much!! i live in utah wich has a famously bipolar climate, but still wanted to dress this way!

[@lipikapanda5740]

Can you do a dark indie core look??

[@Anna-tq1ox]

Do a dark cottage core look book

[@dressrelief]

I already have one up! ☺️

[@hapahiroka2821]

Thank you so much! It gets soooooo hot where I live so it can be difficult to layer up. This was so helpful.

[@isumizi]

I'm going to wear these 24/7 (I live in Florida)

Thank you 😊

Amazing!!!! where i live summer is like hell :(

[@nicolodeon05]

Thank you so much! This was much needed as I live in Miami 😭

[@dressrelief]

Glad it was helpful! 🥰

[@ilse5220]

a lot of dressing in hot climates is measuring how much heat you are willing to deal with and knowing where you're going. is it a place with ac or will you be walking and sitting around in the sun ?

[@FlamesWolf]

I live in Sweden but I'm going to watch it anyway

[@akaneshio6406]

Well, i feel like the colors are almosy more impoetant that the clothes themselves. You can still look dark academia if you wear long pants with a black t-shirt and smth on your hair, fancy shoes or short, thick heels. Or short pladded pants with a white/cream/brown/black shirt with shoes, and golden, bronze or black accessories. It can be skirts and dresses that are pladded too. Its so much more than just sweaters and pants, it's the colors, acessories, etc.

[@maya7831]

By the way....amazon has a lot of cool cotton high-necks. So, you can still wear em :)

[@bbyfreds]

idk if anyone said this but airism collection by Uniqlo!

[@Guysimliterallycrazy]

Thank you!! I love dark academia and I'm moving to a place that gets over 100 degrees 0-o Also great vid I already subbed :3

I bought them secondhand on depop, but maybe you can try searching “pleated shorts”!

[@renatal.129]

I live in a place where climate is a little bit colder, but it can also get hot. Sometimes climate varies within a single day. So you can say I get the best of both worlds ;)

[@arcturus4939]

This is literally my problem. Well, before knowing this whole Dark Academia aesthetic, my preferred style/fashion is already leather shoes, polos, sweaters, suit, vest,etc. My problem is that I live in Philippines and its hot here almost all year round. I can only wear my preferred clothes when its rainy season or its cold but due to climate change, cold and rainy weathers are sometimes unpredictable lmao

[@isabelleweaver2935]

Where did you get those pants?? There so cool

[@dressrelief]

I got these secondhand/vintage on Depop. This brand is Joan Walters but ive seen a lot of other good options on there!

[@maybeme-i-7775]

Kinda of this on this topic, I find that I struggle with having tops that are NOT black or white (and long sleeve), any recommendations for tops that can be pattern easily with pinafores/dresses, and patterned skirts? Literally the large majority of the shirts I wear are black and white which are tough to wear in the heat!

[@dressrelief]

Hmm maybe some light colors like light blue or yellow or green? What colors are the pinafores/dresses/skirts? I would try to match their color schemes 😊
