To be honest if you tried really hard you could pull of this fashion in a hot climate. I think you can wear linen shorts, shirts with short sleeves, still add belts to it and wear some aesthetic jewelry. I'm sure there are better tips than mine on Pinterest and Tumblr. Hope I helped😁
My bestfriend has a ballroom, I played in it when I was younger and its full of ghosts Update: for her birthday party this coming week we are dressing up in ball gowns and having a tea party in the ballroom
You forgot the real academia aesthetic....unwashed, untidy, mismatched clothes, sleep deprivated cause of all those freaking deadlines and presentations and papers
I just submitted my conference presentation during finals week and I need to turn my submission into journal quality by Jan 15. This is my current type.
Lol and a butt ton of dry shampoo because who has time for showers during finals week? My go-to getup was muck boots, game camera, GPS tracker and ultra high tech wooden meter stick 😂
I understand the idea of this video, believe me, I do, the thing is, drinking coffee is not a personality trait? “incorporating dark academia by drinking coffee in vintage mugs”? Reality is, you shouldn’t be trying to make this your personality, this should just align with your taste. I believe this aesthetic is about educating yourself and having a nice sense of style from other ages, but, again, you shouldn’t, for example, force yourself to like coffee because it goes with the vibe of an aesthetically appealing sense of style. Just my opinion, nice video anyways, I really enjoyed the book recommendations!
Agreed. And for me it also means you really don't have to spend fortune for an original, vintage stuff. I know there are thrift/sh/charity shops, but just because you feel this asethetic, you dont have to making yourself to buy or do (or whatever) anything you weren't feel comfortable about. Just because you don't have money for desk, shirts or typing machine or (like below) don't like or can't drink coffe, it doesn't mean you are not in this aesthetic.
I agree, I definitely think the value in these aesthetics is finding a way to describe yourself (in part) and/or your tastes, as they already are. None of them should be about making yourself the pinnacle of that aesthetic, or trying to fit yourself in a small box. These aesthetics should be (and widely are) simply for enjoyment and finding common ground in hobbies, style, and visual taste, as well as ways to explore those which you may not have been exposed to previously. It's all in fun, and should be remembered as such. As someone who loves escapism, it can be incredibly fun and freeing to dedicate time to letting yourself feel like you're in a _____ academia movie or book. Life is all about play, and that includes finding new ways to pretend. (My initial point got a little muddled, essentially I hope the takeaway from this video and others like it is light-hearted, and not about strictly defining yourself)
Well, I believe that the person who made this video wasn’t trying to force people to drink coffee. My reasoning for this is that the person put at the beginning of the video, that academia is not just about the aesthetics, but about the knowledge, curiosity, and love for the world and improving. Therefore, I think they were just trying to show that drinking coffee is about the *aesthetics, not the way of life, in the academias.* Anyway, this is just my opinion, and it’s only an inference. Have a great rest of your day. Bye Thanks for reading, ~Aaliyah
not at me literally knowing NOTHING about aesthetics. i didn't even know it's a culture. i just like how it looks. i didn't know there are activities tied to it lol
I feel like the activies first then people make the ‘circle’ of what we like to do. I think. Or some people force themselves to be example a Dark Academia because its pleasing to their eyes, then they force themselves to like something related to Dark Academia. Im bad at explaining but thats how i think
lol yeah. If I'm correct the "academia" style came from people who worked in the creative field or had jobs that included writing, journalism, being a professors/teachers, artist, poet/poetry, and college students (mostly at elite colleges) during the early 1950s where this type of fashion style was popular.
Me. I love dark aesthetics but with a romantic touch. One of my favourite quotes: "better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all". I think it fits us well.
@@roisinnigcrainn7722 I think baroque and royal-core are both a really good combination of dark academia and romantic academia! They both have plenty of elegance and yearning, while having beautiful colors and fabrics :D
After chasing for some aesthetics, now I'm just trying to embrace what I originally have. White nail polish on short nails, low buns on wavy hair (cannot emphasize how long I tried to have straight hair rather than my beautiful wavy one), liquid blush all over my cheeks, long skirts and v-neck tops, (woollen sweaters in winter), a pendant always resting on my collarbones, dangly earrings, lipbalms, journals and novels in my tote bag just for moral support, taking care of my beloved plants (Serenity&Joonie) and never forgetting to pet the stray animals at the sidewalks
I actually don't know what the heck this is but a friend kept pointing out dark academia, we're in like a writing group, and then everytime i look up cottage core I just end up here. Personally, I would love a mix of romantic and dark academia. A black sweater with a pink collar peaking out. I want to get a little more into this since I'm trying to transition from a lifestyle of gaming and laziness to hopefully more productivity and reading.
academia aesthetic is actually based of loving to learn and to wanting to learn, these are just popular aesthetics but you should personalize it to your style
Yeah you can, the human body and the reactions the go on in the body is beautiful. Almost poetic. The body is at a constant battle.New cells die and born every second, the WBS and the bacteria or virus(sorry arts background). The ability to heal and adapt is like a princess married off to a foreign prince for alliance. A new vaccine is like a new invention, there is a lot of resistance but usually in the end everything is alright. I just couldn't help writing such a long para. Im a hopeless writer. BTW good luck for med school
@@SK-ss6rm idk if that's the same. i mean i could study greek mythology since that's the pantheon i follow, but they probably don't cover much paganism (if any) in theology classes.
I'm definitely classic academia and dark academia, I'm studying literature (poetry inside of it) and wanna study architecture in university, my clothes are like that, I love museums and old architecture (especially gothic architecture) , I write poetry, I write letters and poetry in my typewriter, plus I study French, Japanese and Italian, I have more books than anything, I know chess (started learning it because of "The Queen's gambit") and I can't live without coffee
I couldn’t agree more. I too, think my narrative extends into more classic and dark academia. I love mythology and I aspire to delve into the darker concepts of death in literature, especially in poetry. I recently got a quill pen and I love writing letters with a sinister tone to whomever, even if it’s a figment of my imagination. I’m studying French currently but I would love to also study Russian. I love the gothic elements in architecture and in art overall and I would love to learn how to play chess! Inspired by The Queen’s Gambit obviously.
Yeah I have a big problem cause...I just can’t fit any of these by itself. My heart screams Classic academia, my mind Dark academia and my closet says indie kid so my personality is like a mix of all these.
My music style and colour style leans more towards Dark Academia, my clothing style is just tomboy style and a mix of Dark Academia, my preferred decorating style is Attack On Titan (anime) but my study style is total chaos...
I describe myself as chaotic academia. Characterised by extreme ADHD and imposter syndrome, a love of books but incapability to read and somehow being able to do well in university despite being stupid in all areas of life aside from academics
OMG So nice to see another chaotic academic with ADHD! I feel like this type of academia doesn't have enough representation on the Internet and the only movie I can think of with this scheme is Kill Your Darlings
I believe we are an aesthetic ourselves. Because as time passed and as I started to embrace myself more I realized all these beautiful traits I have that can be categorized in an aesthetic but not particularly in a singular one. So I thought I'll make my own aesthetic and I'll try to live beautifully like that. There's so much more to life and I haven't yet started living but I'm sure I will soon.
I feel like I’m a mix of dark and romantic. Like sometimes I want to hide away from the world, wear all black, drink coffee, and do something creative. Other days I want to frolic through a field wearing a flower crown and sundress. There’s no in between. Lol
For as long as i can remember i´ve always imagined i lived in a beautiful mansion full of books, dressing like a classy student and being all dramatic about love and death, drinking tea and as i grew up, drinking cofee. It turns out there is a whole ass range of aesthetics and im not even good at dressing like them AND i live in subtropical weather, i love the cold and the rain and the sweaters but i live in a terribly hot place. Life just has other plans for me lmao
I think I have more like a classic + dark academia aesthetics. Its not just about the outfits for me however. Sometimes I just feel like an old soul. Like, I wanna escape into a different era. Sip a hot cup of tea, stroll through the mysterious section of an old library, slow dance with a stranger under the stars, scribble down my life story on a weathered journal and keep it hidden for someone else to find it after generations .....and my list goes on...I hope that whoever reading this understands what I'm trying to say. Anyway, thank you for the beautiful video!!!.
this sounds like me!! i disagree that academia is purely aesthetic and superficial, its quite sentimental for me. i also wish i was born in another era (like the 1890s), and honestly it makes me so sad that there arent more people who appreciate the inherent romance of the past. im also an INFP hehe
I have a genuine question, why do people wish they were born in another era? I feel like we have it the best right now? And you can do all these things plus have the comfort of the internet and electricity and less misogyny/sexism/racism
Im not trying to fit in the trend but.. As a young child i was back then... I see this as art. And i love every details and expression it gives of from this aesthetic. It gives me the world where i could just be simple and calm.. It's mental healing for me.
SAME ever since i discovered cottagecore aesthetic i've been somewhat obsessed with all things similar to that, romantic and light academia just feel so right
I've never had a style before. It was always a mix of different things I'd seen on instagram or youtube. I'm an English/creative writing major and I love light and romantic academia. I'm not the biggest reader, I think school has ruined it with boring books and reports but I love writing and being in an academic environment. I recently started trying to dress like this and I've never been happier or felt more comfortable in myself.
☺️☺️☺️In the 80’s before the academia labels, all of this was known or manifested in elements of goth, New Romantic, preppy chic, Gunne Sax/Jessica McClintock fashions, and if you get a chance check out old “Victoria” magazines, 80’s Ralph Lauren and J.Peterman Catalogs (they were beautifully illustrated only, no photographs).💖👍
Just getting off a long 12 hour shift from my job, sitting on my bed as the sun rises and my feet ache, sometimes I look at life and wonder how many people out there are feeling what I’m feeling, how many people out there go through struggles, how many people out there understand the pain and difficulty of life, it’s depressing yet assuring at the same time. Life can be so hard, so painful, so depressing, but the struggle in life is what makes life so beautiful. Knowing we have endured, endured such a horrible year, so much death, so much agony, yet we made it. To see another year. And whatever this year brings, we can endure then too. I love you guys. Keep your head up and stay strong everyone. God bless. 📖
Can we just appreciate how much work is put into this video?? Like, they recommend outfits, movies, novels, explained basis of each academia and even mentioned certain hobbies, the presentation was awesome, the music changed to represent each academia, like, wow! That's so cool, thank you so much for your hard work!💕
And here I am sitting in a corner filled with wounderful souls who enjoy dressing like this, looking very beautiful in it while I just came here for the music. I dress so randomly. Some days I dress in t-shirt from rock bands, some days in nerd stuff, sometimes even functional, practical(when going on a camping trip), but somehow I always come back to clothes that look more medieval and elvish than modern human clothes...but in the end they need to be comfortable for me to wear them actually. Anyway I still love reading on rainy or sunny day with a cup of coffee or tea. I enjoy the winter when it's cold, but I also like a lovley spring with flowers blooming and a warm, light filled summer, and I absolutely love the colourfull and rainy autumn. There is poetic in all kind of things, no matter how different they seem to be. And the same goes for music: Dark Academia for quiet, melancholy days, light and romantic Academia for dreaming and classic Academia for writing and studying... And then they are other types of music I enjoy as well, so I can't really label them at all. Life seems to be always changing and at the same time not. Somehow it always ends in a never ending circle. Always the same but never quite. It's found in every aspect of every thing in this world. Humans nature, emotions, seasons, years, music, clothing styles, birth/death... It alwys comes back to two things: Up and downs, good and bad, right and wrong, on and off, 0 and 1. And the colourfull rainbow between the two and their mixtures. Its spiralling endlessly like a never ending dance of life...and death. No matter which kind of phase you are in at the moment, enjoy it while it lasts.
I was dark academia my whole life without even knowing Edit: I just finished the video and in the dark academia part I started laughing like wtf this fits me so perfectly and I just thought I was a melancholic nerd in love with books for my entire life. Btw, I only feel soo comfortable wearing black, anyone here relating to this?
are we the same person??? except im not allowed to wear much black cuz strict parents (especially my mom) also I'm a tomboy as well so they find this aesthetics clothing "masculine" which they don't like T_T
I am defiantly romantic and light academia. i adore fantasizing over love, warm cups of tea, and I love the earthy toned color pallets as well as lighter shades ( including pink hehe )' *
hi guys! i just wanted to come on here and say that this video is just for fun and not to be taken too seriously. every now and then i see a comment on how this video seems like it's forcing people to take on certain activities or dress a certain way for the sake of "fitting in" to an aesthetic. i promise you, that was not my intention and i'm really sorry if it came out that way. i honestly just wanted to make a video that was similar to my pinterest boards at the time and decided to add a bit on what the aesthetic actually is as supplemental info. in other words, i made this vid simply for good fun and to inspire others. again, pls don't take the info in this video too seriously or as actual facts. i really do enjoy reading your comments tho, so keep on leaving ur thoughts down below. anyways, that's enough ranting. if u liked this video, check out the other two vids in this series. if not, it's okay, have a wonderful day regardless. ily all
My style has been dark academia before I knew about those aesthetics, and I love gothic architecture and everything else that is dark academia, but my mindset is light academia so I can't really choose. I didn't know romantic one is on its own, I thought that's all light academia! Thanks for the inspiration. ♡ I just followed you on pinterest, I love your boards.
Okay I’m going to go over all the ones and how I feel I relate Classical: I read so much and love books (new or old) it sounds pretty relaxing and reminds me of a English teacher, and the fashion is lowkey ok. It seems like stuff I would wear. Coffee is bloody amazing so I feel I relate. And the sobbing in bed. But I don’t think it’s my one. Dark: now the Greek architecture and myth are something I deeply love. The death concept...I’m suicidal and would like to think myself at peace with death. Candle lit rooms reading and the rain. I find it peaceful. I have a big thing for classical music. The fashion is very much me. Turtle necks, dark colours. The style is very me. I much prefer hand written letters etc and the vibe from dark academia os very me. I think this is very much my aesthetic Romance: I am not a bright colourful person nor a light person. But the idea of romance and the love I enjoy. But I would not want to look at it as flowers and perfect romance. The idea of hopefulness I like but I know hope doesn’t win in love. Poetry about love stories with the amazing prince is not for me. I enjoy the reading, love letters, pleated skirts (to a degree) and def the cozy jumpers. The fashion is nice but it’s to pure and beautiful. It would not suit me. The long white flowing dresses or cute looks. Definitely not for me Light: the colours have already put me off. I don’t like the cool light tones. They don’t compliment me at all. The outfits though. The knitted jumpers and thin wired glasses. The aesthetic of the architecture as-well. The outdoors too. But I think it means of a bright summer day. I prefer a dark rainy night in a forest. Once again, the hope is not for me. I prefer the brooding Novels and films: the films are all great. I feel they scream light academia or classic. These wouldn’t be for me as such. They don’t have the feel I look for. The novels interest me though as they sound thrilling and exciting. I could read and I wouldn’t stop Overall I think dark academia with a dash of classic is me. This is what I feel most for me overall. The brooding and hopelessness. The dark feel and thrill. The misery, rain, dark sky. But the reading and thrifted stuff. The darker dull colours. If you read till the end...why would you it’s just me rambling but thanks
I’m tied between romantic academia and dark academia. I was already into dark academia but I love the ethereal and soft aesthetic with its hopeless romantic atmosphere, so I guess that’s why. But you can never have too many aesthetes ♡︎
Poet and romantic are mostly me just because of how much I’m into literature and not as much into the plots or the fantasies just the beauty of the writing and reading iy
People is always going to judge. Better for you if you just decided to live with that and inspire the rest of the population to try something new instead.
In terms of the aesthetics, I don’t really identify with DA but on a personal level i resonate with the academic/passion for learning hugely and its helped me get through school and delve into my hobbies. i love dressing colorfully, and giving myself the room to change looks at any given time. So, I call myself a eccentric academic lol
Classic Academia fits so well with my style. I do every activity that was mentioned and liked every single outfit as well. I also found Light Academia rlly interesting. These two are my favs especially Classic Academia
POV: you’re a romantic academia while your boyfriend is dark academia. Edit: i don’t know how this got so many likes :0 oh and I’ll take this as an opportunity to wish you a Very lovely days ahead and stay safe everyone !! 🌷❤️🌼
I’m a classical musician… I’ve always felt out of place: unmeasurable love for classical music, for classical literature… I’ve studied Latin and Ancient Greek at school and I’ve always looked at Beethoven as my guiding spirit. I’ve always understood Schubert’s passion for the mystery of life, the sense of death… Wuthering Heights is my favourite book. Me wearing skirts and dark colours made my old-minded school curious and still today I don’t understand the reason. It was amazing to find out that I’m not alone, that there are several people out of there sharing my own passions. To me dark academia is not only aesthetic, it’s my way of living life, kinda it’s adjective. We are a family 🤎
This is a very nice video. I loved the typewriter effect for transition, and the colors u picked for the background are soothing. I appreciate an aesthetic video that isn't just a tiktok compilation. Keep up the good work
From a young age my dad has taken me to libraries and I have indeed loved books, but after getting a phone I left books and most of my extra learning apart from being in school to spending time on my phone or doing other things. Last year I was “too young” to be getting involved in academia and aesthetics and all that jazz (I also just wasn’t interested). This year I was given more shuffle space to find an aesthetic. Over lockdown I started reading more and fell back in love with learning as I had done when I was younger. When I went back to school in September I had found academia as an aesthetic and I really love the whole idea of learning and expanding your mind. After talking about it for a while in various circumstances I became aware that people thought I only enjoyed it for the clothes and not the learning, which is completely wrong. I am just annoyed that people assume you only like an aesthetic because it is “trendy” and not because you have just found it now but it has collided with the big boom of interest in the aesthetic. I want to continue with academia but I fear I will be called old and that I’m “sticking with old trends” when the real reason is that I just love the aesthetic soo much. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Disclaimer: I understand that I am privileged and I get to live in a country that sort of supports this aesthetic. I understand that the origins are elitist but I want to change that for the better and make it more inclusive to everyone.
Your TED Talk was fun, Sophia. Don't worry about people underestimating your intellectual interests, I live with it all the time even without dressing the part... People project, and get threatened easily (big egos). PS: the phone > books is a tragic byproduct of our age, it's a global disaster.
this was really cool and i liked it and the info it gave but also could you include more male fashion plz? i promise it's not just women or people who like feminine fashion who like academia. no hate, just a lil request. loved it!
I'm in the same situation because i'm non binary, and my gender expression is masculine, so i don't really like wearing skirts and a dress (eventhough clothes have no gender)
This video was made so well,it was just beautiful. The music choice,the way it was edited,the details covering each academia was perfect. In terms of fashion i think am inclined towards all if them lmao. But i think more of a light/classic academia
most of my life revolves around dark academia, on the contrary, i am also greatly influenced by romantic academia. i’m on a scale between them, but at the end of the day, my heart, brain, and soul belongs to dark academia.
You might like the baroque and royal-core aesthetics!! For me, I’m also a combination of dark and romantic academia, and I love the poetic yearning and beautiful colors and fabrics of those aesthetics. There’s a time for understated elegance, but in my heart I like dressing like a combination of a lesbian librarian (I got the first part down haha), a Renaissance prince, and the male love interest of a 19th century English novel. So those really work lmao.
i write poetry, read all the time, drink three cups of hot herbal tea a day, wear bows in my hair every other day and have iron anemia so i’m always cold and in a cardigan or sweater.... hopeless romantic academia💗
uh- I need help 1)i write poems but most of them are sad 2)im a hopeless romantic 3)I love reading, fantasy is my favourite genre and I'd preferably always pick up books with at least a little romance 4)fashion wise, i don't like to cover myself up, I like to show the right amount of skin, like wearing skirts a little over my mid thigh, sleeveless tops, off shoulder tops, crop tops, etc. 5) I learn and study classical music and aspire to be a singer so am I romantic academia?? im so confused-
I’m a weird mix of all and I like it. These aesthetics are maybe problematic but somehow still beautiful. It really helped me. If I don’t romanticize studying, I can’t study lol
Dark Academia really speaks to my soul. I really do like light Academia as a subject to admire, like a painting in a museum, but when it comes to my life, I am dark Academia trough and through
Ooo I’m confident that I am both dark and light academia. I’ll work towards those then :-) this video was so aesthetically pleasing, the editing is magnificent 🖤
Ever since i found out about the academia aesthetics i got so excited. The lifestyle, fashion and aesthetic that ive loved since i was a child have a name!!!! And other people who feel the same way as me exist!!!!! And while i fit into only or two of these types, i absolutely adore every single one of them

@@luuzal I'm from Costa Rica, at least you got pretty cities and libraries there :c
To be honest if you tried really hard you could pull of this fashion in a hot climate. I think you can wear linen shorts, shirts with short sleeves, still add belts to it and wear some aesthetic jewelry. I'm sure there are better tips than mine on Pinterest and Tumblr. Hope I helped😁
I live in a cold climate and a lot of these outfits are not warm enough for most of the year haha
dark academia - winter
classic academia - autumn
light academia - spring
romantic academia - summer
I agree, but funny enough my fav aesthetic is romantic academia but fav season is winter- 🤪

Like it is not healthy to „choose“ one aesthetic/lifestyle and to force urself to fit in this „shape“
as someone who hates coffee, I was pleased to find this comment. I no longer have to state what you've already put so wonderfully.
Agreed. And for me it also means you really don't have to spend fortune for an original, vintage stuff. I know there are thrift/sh/charity shops, but just because you feel this asethetic, you dont have to making yourself to buy or do (or whatever) anything you weren't feel comfortable about. Just because you don't have money for desk, shirts or typing machine or (like below) don't like or can't drink coffe, it doesn't mean you are not in this aesthetic.

I actually don't know what the heck this is but a friend kept pointing out dark academia, we're in like a writing group, and then everytime i look up cottage core I just end up here. Personally, I would love a mix of romantic and dark academia. A black sweater with a pink collar peaking out. I want to get a little more into this since I'm trying to transition from a lifestyle of gaming and laziness to hopefully more productivity and reading.
Aw I love that, I'm trying to do something similar
Same I've gotten back into reading again after years of being lost
Same, I'm trying to make sure being lazy doesn't take control over my whole life. Its hard but from what I've seen, looks worth it.
@ngan dinh Awww that so sweet thank you! Lol you way nicer then most people I know
@ngan dinh I'm sure I'll be fine
i’m definitely a mix of classic and dark and I LOVE IT
same
Me too
Meeeetoooo
I like how all comments here all just recently and same
@@casandraibarra4723 haha lol
*When you are a mix of both Dark and Light Academia*: . . . . . Grey Academia?
same here you just can't match them together
Same here
same.
Idk why i thought of Grey's anatomy while reading this.
There actually is such thing as grey academia.
Is there something called medical academia? Cuz all I get to read is med books
academia aesthetic is actually based of loving to learn and to wanting to learn, these are just popular aesthetics but you should personalize it to your style
Yeah, same but with law books. I wish I had the time to read something interesting. 😕
Yeah you can, the human body and the reactions the go on in the body is beautiful. Almost poetic. The body is at a constant battle.New cells die and born every second, the WBS and the bacteria or virus(sorry arts background). The ability to heal and adapt is like a princess married off to a foreign prince for alliance. A new vaccine is like a new invention, there is a lot of resistance but usually in the end everything is alright.
I just couldn't help writing such a long para. Im a hopeless writer. BTW good luck for med school
i think witchy academia is my aesthetic. if one could study witches in uni i would in a heartbeat
Same
I think some universities offer a parapsychology course?
@@SK-ss6rm idk if that's the same. i mean i could study greek mythology since that's the pantheon i follow, but they probably don't cover much paganism (if any) in theology classes.
@@hades_head_empty Yeah, parapsychology is more to do with the validity of claims of supernatural activity and stuff
@@SK-ss6rm yeah, so it wouldn't be the right subject to cover the practice of witchcraft.
idk why but i just feel like years later, we’ll remember these like how we remember tumblr stuff right now
Yep
I'm definitely classic academia and dark academia, I'm studying literature (poetry inside of it) and wanna study architecture in university, my clothes are like that, I love museums and old architecture (especially gothic architecture) , I write poetry, I write letters and poetry in my typewriter, plus I study French, Japanese and Italian, I have more books than anything, I know chess (started learning it because of "The Queen's gambit") and I can't live without coffee
thanks for sharing!! ur who i aspire to be lol
Me too!
@@academiaesthetic oh my god, you're making me blush 🥺
I'm starting to learn chess because of 'The Queen's Gambit' too :O
I couldn’t agree more. I too, think my narrative extends into more classic and dark academia. I love mythology and I aspire to delve into the darker concepts of death in literature, especially in poetry. I recently got a quill pen and I love writing letters with a sinister tone to whomever, even if it’s a figment of my imagination. I’m studying French currently but I would love to also study Russian. I love the gothic elements in architecture and in art overall and I would love to learn how to play chess! Inspired by The Queen’s Gambit obviously.
Yeah I have a big problem cause...I just can’t fit any of these by itself. My heart screams Classic academia, my mind Dark academia and my closet says indie kid so my personality is like a mix of all these.
This is because you are yourself and not a „type“ or „aestehtic“ someone set
then mix all tougher ade be yourself. and about your clothes, you can’t change your entire closet over night, be patiently ;)
Same here
My music style and colour style leans more towards Dark Academia, my clothing style is just tomboy style and a mix of Dark Academia, my preferred decorating style is Attack On Titan (anime) but my study style is total chaos...
Same!
I describe myself as chaotic academia. Characterised by extreme ADHD and imposter syndrome, a love of books but incapability to read and somehow being able to do well in university despite being stupid in all areas of life aside from academics
LMAO PLEASE you just described me
OMG So nice to see another chaotic academic with ADHD! I feel like this type of academia doesn't have enough representation on the Internet and the only movie I can think of with this scheme is Kill Your Darlings
yup, that's me!
Hahaha hey ADHD gang!!
Me but with anxiety instead of adhd lol
I believe we are an aesthetic ourselves. Because as time passed and as I started to embrace myself more I realized all these beautiful traits I have that can be categorized in an aesthetic but not particularly in a singular one. So I thought I'll make my own aesthetic and I'll try to live beautifully like that. There's so much more to life and I haven't yet started living but I'm sure I will soon.
I agree. You don't have to fit in one aesthetic if you don't want to. You can create your own original one that you feel comfortable with.🤍
Sorry but what does that have to do with this videos and if that's the case why did u click on it
I feel like I’m a mix of dark and romantic. Like sometimes I want to hide away from the world, wear all black, drink coffee, and do something creative. Other days I want to frolic through a field wearing a flower crown and sundress. There’s no in between. Lol
For as long as i can remember i´ve always imagined i lived in a beautiful mansion full of books, dressing like a classy student and being all dramatic about love and death, drinking tea and as i grew up, drinking cofee. It turns out there is a whole ass range of aesthetics and im not even good at dressing like them AND i live in subtropical weather, i love the cold and the rain and the sweaters but i live in a terribly hot place. Life just has other plans for me lmao
Same here
As a Greek, philosophy major at college, definitely a dark academia type of person🗝️
I think I have more like a classic + dark academia aesthetics. Its not just about the outfits for me however. Sometimes I just feel like an old soul. Like, I wanna escape into a different era. Sip a hot cup of tea, stroll through the mysterious section of an old library, slow dance with a stranger under the stars, scribble down my life story on a weathered journal and keep it hidden for someone else to find it after generations .....and my list goes on...I hope that whoever reading this understands what I'm trying to say. Anyway, thank you for the beautiful video!!!.
Philo Vinoy I totally understand you 😊
Totally relate, and maybe you’re an INFJ like me hehe (check out 16 personalities)
this sounds like me!! i disagree that academia is purely aesthetic and superficial, its quite sentimental for me. i also wish i was born in another era (like the 1890s), and honestly it makes me so sad that there arent more people who appreciate the inherent romance of the past. im also an INFP hehe
I have a genuine question, why do people wish they were born in another era? I feel like we have it the best right now? And you can do all these things plus have the comfort of the internet and electricity and less misogyny/sexism/racism
We are the same
Me tryna live the dark academia aesthetic life but then I realise i live in a tropical asia country: 👁👄👁💧
meh toooooooooooooo
Yeaaaa
Saame ;-;
Me too...
its so hottt, sacrificing our soul to wear those layers
Im not trying to fit in the trend but.. As a young child i was back then... I see this as art. And i love every details and expression it gives of from this aesthetic. It gives me the world where i could just be simple and calm.. It's mental healing for me.
Romantic and Light Academia i just feel...attracted to these academia
Same omg
SAME ever since i discovered cottagecore aesthetic i've been somewhat obsessed with all things similar to that, romantic and light academia just feel so right
My personality is romantic academia, but my closet is dark/classic 😂✨
You might like the baroque and royal-core core aesthetics, they combine romantic and dark academia really well.
@@RenaissanceRockerBoy oh wow I’ll def check those out! thank you :)
If i could dress like a romantic academia now i would. But most of my clothes are hand me dows from my mom and 90% of her closet is black.
my personality is 75% dark 25% romantic, but my closet is athleisure 😂😂
I've never had a style before. It was always a mix of different things I'd seen on instagram or youtube. I'm an English/creative writing major and I love light and romantic academia. I'm not the biggest reader, I think school has ruined it with boring books and reports but I love writing and being in an academic environment. I recently started trying to dress like this and I've never been happier or felt more comfortable in myself.
☺️☺️☺️In the 80’s before the academia labels, all of this was known or manifested in elements of goth, New Romantic, preppy chic, Gunne Sax/Jessica McClintock fashions, and if you get a chance check out old “Victoria” magazines, 80’s Ralph Lauren and J.Peterman Catalogs (they were beautifully illustrated only, no photographs).💖👍
Why should I choose when I can dress all this gorgeous stiles🥰
Great thinking
love that attitude 🥰 wear what you want!!
@@nebula541 thank youuu!
@@dior.x9x hahaha thanks :3
this channel deserves more
Just getting off a long 12 hour shift from my job, sitting on my bed as the sun rises and my feet ache, sometimes I look at life and wonder how many people out there are feeling what I’m feeling, how many people out there go through struggles, how many people out there understand the pain and difficulty of life, it’s depressing yet assuring at the same time.
Life can be so hard, so painful, so depressing, but the struggle in life is what makes life so beautiful. Knowing we have endured, endured such a horrible year, so much death, so much agony, yet we made it. To see another year. And whatever this year brings, we can endure then too.
I love you guys. Keep your head up and stay strong everyone. God bless. 📖
Can we just appreciate how much work is put into this video?? Like, they recommend outfits, movies, novels, explained basis of each academia and even mentioned certain hobbies, the presentation was awesome, the music changed to represent each academia, like, wow! That's so cool, thank you so much for your hard work!💕
And here I am sitting in a corner filled with wounderful souls who enjoy dressing like this, looking very beautiful in it while I just came here for the music.
I dress so randomly. Some days I dress in t-shirt from rock bands, some days in nerd stuff, sometimes even functional, practical(when going on a camping trip), but somehow I always come back to clothes that look more medieval and elvish than modern human clothes...but in the end they need to be comfortable for me to wear them actually.
Anyway I still love reading on rainy or sunny day with a cup of coffee or tea. I enjoy the winter when it's cold, but I also like a lovley spring with flowers blooming and a warm, light filled summer, and I absolutely love the colourfull and rainy autumn. There is poetic in all kind of things, no matter how different they seem to be.
And the same goes for music: Dark Academia for quiet, melancholy days, light and romantic Academia for dreaming and classic Academia for writing and studying...
And then they are other types of music I enjoy as well, so I can't really label them at all.
Life seems to be always changing and at the same time not. Somehow it always ends in a never ending circle. Always the same but never quite. It's found in every aspect of every thing in this world. Humans nature, emotions, seasons, years, music, clothing styles, birth/death...
It alwys comes back to two things:
Up and downs, good and bad, right and wrong, on and off, 0 and 1. And the colourfull rainbow between the two and their mixtures. Its spiralling endlessly like a never ending dance of life...and death.
No matter which kind of phase you are in at the moment, enjoy it while it lasts.
I was dark academia my whole life without even knowing
Edit: I just finished the video and in the dark academia part I started laughing like wtf this fits me so perfectly and I just thought I was a melancholic nerd in love with books for my entire life. Btw, I only feel soo comfortable wearing black, anyone here relating to this?
Yes-
this.
where are you from? are a European
Alright- it's kinda same with me
are we the same person??? except im not allowed to wear much black cuz strict parents (especially my mom) also I'm a tomboy as well so they find this aesthetics clothing "masculine" which they don't like T_T
Before dark academia was trending I always liked that aesthetic and style like I love reading, love Harry Potter, loved plaid skirts
I am defiantly romantic and light academia. i adore fantasizing over love, warm cups of tea, and I love the earthy toned color pallets as well as lighter shades ( including pink hehe )' *
I'm definately dark academia, I just think everything dark, poetry and the smell of old books and coffee, rainy days are just the best thing ever
hi guys! i just wanted to come on here and say that this video is just for fun and not to be taken too seriously. every now and then i see a comment on how this video seems like it's forcing people to take on certain activities or dress a certain way for the sake of "fitting in" to an aesthetic. i promise you, that was not my intention and i'm really sorry if it came out that way. i honestly just wanted to make a video that was similar to my pinterest boards at the time and decided to add a bit on what the aesthetic actually is as supplemental info. in other words, i made this vid simply for good fun and to inspire others. again, pls don't take the info in this video too seriously or as actual facts.
i really do enjoy reading your comments tho, so keep on leaving ur thoughts down below. anyways, that's enough ranting. if u liked this video, check out the other two vids in this series. if not, it's okay, have a wonderful day regardless. ily all
Adding to the booklist, if you love Goldfinch, The Secret History is also amazing and very dark academia.
No I understand how could that be ur intention? I mean people just think way too much. I loved the video a lot tho
Romantic academia on the outside, dark academia on the inside.
Dark academia on the outside, romantic academia on the inside ;)
@@hiaralace6622 saame
Samee
this was absolutely amazing ive been trying to figure out what academia aesthetic i fit into and its dark academia thank you so much keep it up
I’m definitely a mix of classic and dark with a sprinkle of romantic once and awhile
My style has been dark academia before I knew about those aesthetics, and I love gothic architecture and everything else that is dark academia, but my mindset is light academia so I can't really choose. I didn't know romantic one is on its own, I thought that's all light academia! Thanks for the inspiration. ♡ I just followed you on pinterest, I love your boards.
dark academia expresses my life perfectly, the way they dress and they activities all match my personality.
Okay I’m going to go over all the ones and how I feel I relate
Classical: I read so much and love books (new or old) it sounds pretty relaxing and reminds me of a English teacher, and the fashion is lowkey ok. It seems like stuff I would wear. Coffee is bloody amazing so I feel I relate. And the sobbing in bed. But I don’t think it’s my one.
Dark: now the Greek architecture and myth are something I deeply love. The death concept...I’m suicidal and would like to think myself at peace with death. Candle lit rooms reading and the rain. I find it peaceful. I have a big thing for classical music. The fashion is very much me. Turtle necks, dark colours. The style is very me. I much prefer hand written letters etc and the vibe from dark academia os very me. I think this is very much my aesthetic
Romance: I am not a bright colourful person nor a light person. But the idea of romance and the love I enjoy. But I would not want to look at it as flowers and perfect romance. The idea of hopefulness I like but I know hope doesn’t win in love. Poetry about love stories with the amazing prince is not for me. I enjoy the reading, love letters, pleated skirts (to a degree) and def the cozy jumpers. The fashion is nice but it’s to pure and beautiful. It would not suit me. The long white flowing dresses or cute looks. Definitely not for me
Light: the colours have already put me off. I don’t like the cool light tones. They don’t compliment me at all. The outfits though. The knitted jumpers and thin wired glasses. The aesthetic of the architecture as-well. The outdoors too. But I think it means of a bright summer day. I prefer a dark rainy night in a forest. Once again, the hope is not for me. I prefer the brooding
Novels and films: the films are all great. I feel they scream light academia or classic. These wouldn’t be for me as such. They don’t have the feel I look for. The novels interest me though as they sound thrilling and exciting. I could read and I wouldn’t stop
Overall I think dark academia with a dash of classic is me. This is what I feel most for me overall. The brooding and hopelessness. The dark feel and thrill. The misery, rain, dark sky. But the reading and thrifted stuff. The darker dull colours. If you read till the end...why would you it’s just me rambling but thanks
I’m tied between romantic academia and dark academia. I was already into dark academia but I love the ethereal and soft aesthetic with its hopeless romantic atmosphere, so I guess that’s why. But you can never have too many aesthetes ♡︎
I feel like I'm a little bit of every type of academia, depends on my mood of the day! Great vid :) Love your aesthetics!
Poet and romantic are mostly me just because of how much I’m into literature and not as much into the plots or the fantasies just the beauty of the writing and reading iy
When you want to wear that fashion to be aesthetic but you live in a country where some people judge about what you wear 🙂
People judge everywhere. Just go and wear what you like, don’t let other people’s thoughts influence you.
Have a good day!
People is always going to judge. Better for you if you just decided to live with that and inspire the rest of the population to try something new instead.
People judge you everywhere,it's not about where you live,it's about your confidence
Same but I go to high school where people are SO judgey.
who cares if they judge you? you only live once and they won't live your life
In terms of the aesthetics, I don’t really identify with DA but on a personal level i resonate with the academic/passion for learning hugely and its helped me get through school and delve into my hobbies. i love dressing colorfully, and giving myself the room to change looks at any given time. So, I call myself a eccentric academic lol
I'm all of these depending onthe mood but the most often in me is classic and romantic academia!
okay but the book recommendations are top tier, i will definitely check it out :>
soo.. dark academia is just a depressive subtype of classic academia
Yeah sorta but dark academia actually came first
Basically 😂
Does anyone know where the gif of the girls running through a hall in the romantic section is from? It’s absolutely stunning
I’m almost certain it’s from Russian Ark (2002).
@@mian3704 yes it is
Thank you
Classic Academia fits so well with my style. I do every activity that was mentioned and liked every single outfit as well. I also found Light Academia rlly interesting. These two are my favs especially Classic Academia
The way this vedio takes you to different worlds of aesthetics is just phenomenal👏
I'm definitely Romantic academia mixed with light academia with some classic academia on the side

It’s so hard to decide but I think I lean more towards light, classic and romantic academia but I think I like bits and pieces of everything.
I’m a classical musician… I’ve always felt out of place: unmeasurable love for classical music, for classical literature… I’ve studied Latin and Ancient Greek at school and I’ve always looked at Beethoven as my guiding spirit. I’ve always understood Schubert’s passion for the mystery of life, the sense of death… Wuthering Heights is my favourite book. Me wearing skirts and dark colours made my old-minded school curious and still today I don’t understand the reason.
It was amazing to find out that I’m not alone, that there are several people out of there sharing my own passions. To me dark academia is not only aesthetic, it’s my way of living life, kinda it’s adjective. We are a family 🤎
Oh man the day I watched Kill Your Darlings I was like "if this isn't dark academia I don't know what is" and sure enough I see it recommended here 😌
WHEN I TELL YOU THAT YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING I DON'T LIE
This is a very nice video. I loved the typewriter effect for transition, and the colors u picked for the background are soothing. I appreciate an aesthetic video that isn't just a tiktok compilation. Keep up the good work
From a young age my dad has taken me to libraries and I have indeed loved books, but after getting a phone I left books and most of my extra learning apart from being in school to spending time on my phone or doing other things. Last year I was “too young” to be getting involved in academia and aesthetics and all that jazz (I also just wasn’t interested). This year I was given more shuffle space to find an aesthetic. Over lockdown I started reading more and fell back in love with learning as I had done when I was younger. When I went back to school in September I had found academia as an aesthetic and I really love the whole idea of learning and expanding your mind. After talking about it for a while in various circumstances I became aware that people thought I only enjoyed it for the clothes and not the learning, which is completely wrong. I am just annoyed that people assume you only like an aesthetic because it is “trendy” and not because you have just found it now but it has collided with the big boom of interest in the aesthetic. I want to continue with academia but I fear I will be called old and that I’m “sticking with old trends” when the real reason is that I just love the aesthetic soo much. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Disclaimer: I understand that I am privileged and I get to live in a country that sort of supports this aesthetic. I understand that the origins are elitist but I want to change that for the better and make it more inclusive to everyone.
Your TED Talk was fun, Sophia. Don't worry about people underestimating your intellectual interests, I live with it all the time even without dressing the part... People project, and get threatened easily (big egos).
PS: the phone > books is a tragic byproduct of our age, it's a global disaster.
@@timefortee Thanks for under standing me 😊
I just LOVE all the music on your videos, it compliments perfectly the images and creates a whole new atmosphere
take all of this put them together
and
yeah thats my academia aesthtetic
this was really cool and i liked it and the info it gave but also could you include more male fashion plz? i promise it's not just women or people who like feminine fashion who like academia. no hate, just a lil request. loved it!
i second this!!! ^^
Same, I was kinda sad that very little male fashion was showed.
I wanna look good while I'm brooding too!
I'm in the same situation because i'm non binary, and my gender expression is masculine, so i don't really like wearing skirts and a dress (eventhough clothes have no gender)
@@luuzal turtle necks with suit pants , white shirts with a dark cardigan etc I'm non binary too !!
just go on Pinterest...
I fell for green academia after finding an account on Instagram. It's such a beautiful aesthetic....
I realized a lot of what I wear and do (and aspire to do) were legit described in the Classic Academia aesthetic. I'm glad there's a community for it.
This video was made so well,it was just beautiful. The music choice,the way it was edited,the details covering each academia was perfect. In terms of fashion i think am inclined towards all if them lmao. But i think more of a light/classic academia
i'm so into dark academia aesthetic it became a lifestyle to me
most of my life revolves around dark academia, on the contrary, i am also greatly influenced by romantic academia. i’m on a scale between them, but at the end of the day, my heart, brain, and soul belongs to dark academia.
You might like the baroque and royal-core aesthetics!! For me, I’m also a combination of dark and romantic academia, and I love the poetic yearning and beautiful colors and fabrics of those aesthetics. There’s a time for understated elegance, but in my heart I like dressing like a combination of a lesbian librarian (I got the first part down haha), a Renaissance prince, and the male love interest of a 19th century English novel. So those really work lmao.
i write poetry, read all the time, drink three cups of hot herbal tea a day, wear bows in my hair every other day and have iron anemia so i’m always cold and in a cardigan or sweater.... hopeless romantic academia💗
i love LOVE dark and romantic academia. they represent different sides of me and they just speak to me so much
the sense of fashion and style is just soo comfy and cozy in these academia’s.
In the summer it would be romantic/light and in winter classic/dark. It also depends on the mood
me: my aesthetic is dark academia
math: are u sure ur even "academia"
uh- I need help
1)i write poems but most of them are sad
2)im a hopeless romantic
3)I love reading, fantasy is my favourite genre and I'd preferably always pick up books with at least a little romance
4)fashion wise, i don't like to cover myself up, I like to show the right amount of skin, like wearing skirts a little over my mid thigh, sleeveless tops, off shoulder tops, crop tops, etc.
5) I learn and study classical music and aspire to be a singer
so am I romantic academia?? im so confused-
Or dark
I’m a weird mix of all and I like it. These aesthetics are maybe problematic but somehow still beautiful. It really helped me. If I don’t romanticize studying, I can’t study lol
Dark Academia really speaks to my soul. I really do like light Academia as a subject to admire, like a painting in a museum, but when it comes to my life, I am dark Academia trough and through
I'm old. Every one of those types I simply call "preppy style" 👀
i feel like preppy tends to be brighter but i can definitely see the influence from preppy fashion
@@nebula541 it’s the sweaters
Wow I didn't know there was a name for my lifestyle and decor in a house. Apparently it's romantic academia! 🥰

finally, there's a name to my aesthetic. romantic academia hello
I would go dark romantic. And for a novel - Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History”.
I swear I'm a mix of all of these Academias
I absolutely adore dark academia. I even have my keyboard customized as an old Scottish Gothic church haha ✨
Ooo I’m confident that I am both dark and light academia. I’ll work towards those then :-) this video was so aesthetically pleasing, the editing is magnificent 🖤
