Great video. This lifestyle, in all aspects is quite interesting and classy. I've adapted DA into my life wherever possible and it's amazing how it puts you in a different mindset. Formal without being too
@@richardzak2140 Thank you! It definitely helps you romanticize a season of the year that if otherwise often seen as depressing and dull. Furthermore, it also puts you in the mindset of actively wanting to study/develop yourself culturally, which I think is great
@@ElessarFreyI guess you make a good point. While I would not recommend making the chino the centerpiece of your Dark Academia wardrobe, wearing them every now and then as a more casual piece wouldn’t necessarily be inaccurate. That being said, I would still go for trousers more often than not.
I had never heard of Dark Academia before watching this, but somehow I was already doing 90% of the things mentioned in this video. At least I have a name for it now. 😀
Too much cosplay for me, when you get into decor and hobbies to match the outfits. This is good for movies, not so much for a healthy modern life. I do like a touch of vintage and admire those who can pull it off as their style, (By vintage I don't mean those who have not grown out of wearing 80s graphic tees.) I prefer to add a splash here and there like a vintage 50s overcoat with a classic suit.
The lifestyle part is definitely not for everyone. I’ve found that the decor part (lights, music and scent) help me better focus on my work during the fall seasons. And some of the hobbies (piano, poetry, reading) are simply activities I enjoy doing, so I thoughht I’d share them with everyone. Glad you enjoyed the style part :)
I like your small accent details you’re wearing. The black cufflinks, sigma ring on the pinky, and the black dial watch. Is that a JLC or Omega Deville? And watches or fountain pen you own that you can share a video about? What is that thing on your arm holding your sleeves? And thank you.
@@frankv7068 Thank you! I wish it was a Deville, it’s a Tissot Tradition. I could do a watch collection video at some point (thanks for the idea) but as for fountain pens I only have the one from Parker. On my arm I’m wearing a sleeve garter - a pretty inexpensive, yet useful item
It’s better to be the roleplayer than to be the NPC programmed to live like everyone else. Don’t live by society’s standards, live the life that makes you happy
You can't mix modern style "rules" with what he is talking about. He is not talking about fitting in at the office in 2024, he is talking a vintage look when the rules were more set and followed. Know your time frame.
@@CanadaFree-ce9jn If you look at vintage illustrations and photographs, you can see men wearing different colored leather gloves with shoes and boots.
That’s true, they were part of the working class, but they were also worn in large part by the youth (therefore the names “Newsboy/Bakerboy”. So I see no reason we shouldn’t think they were worn by students as well, especially in their past times
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers from Brazil!
@@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro Thank you! It means a lot!

Chino/khaki trousers were a part of Ivy life ;and as such, I think they are appropriate for more casual days.
You mean American Ivy life, what he is talking about is even older than that. Think late 1800s to early 1900s, not 40's and 50's.
@@CanadaFree-ce9jnNot really, they were first used by students at prep schools in the 1920’s, so I’d say it’s an option.

Haha, happy to help you put a name behind the aesthetic. Now you only have 10% left :)
@@Gentlemens-Ordergaining that 10% would involve switching scents from Creed Green Irish Tweed. You will pry my Creed from my cold dead fingers. 😀
Ive been looking forward to this
@@geckomoriadaimyoofwano7157 Very glad to hear that!

There are not many authentic men anymore, just cosplayers
This is a great video man, highly recommend 👍

@@Gentlemens-Order Thank you for the information and all the gentlemen development tips.
Great video idea...

Wtf XD. LARPing goes hard 😂

It is certainly possible to mix leathers, but generally not advised to do so when starting out.

Your links aren't working properly 🤔 . . .
I wear Gucci Guilty Absolute. May be discontinued. Very polarizing though
@@claylippert7203 Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll give it a try next time I see it
What accent is that? Very gentlemanly. Where you from?
I think he’s Romanian
@@ElessarFrey Says on his UA-cam profile,yes.Thanks. Never heard any Romanian talk before....
@@Naito31 Hello! I am from Romania. Thank you kindly!
I take it this doesn't work for the summer time
@@goofywill90 haha, no it’d pretty much fall/winter only
Flatcaps/ Newsboys Caps werde part of the working class clothing back in time.. nothing to do with academia..
That’s true, they were part of the working class, but they were also worn in large part by the youth (therefore the names “Newsboy/Bakerboy”. So I see no reason we shouldn’t think they were worn by students as well, especially in their past times
