Academia

Academia encompasses a group of aesthetics centered around the themes of learning, study, research, and reading, often drawing visual inspiration from historical academic settings like older universities (e.g., Oxford) and associated styles of dress, such as "librarian chic." While not solely focused on assigned studies like Studyblr, Academia aesthetics often evoke the atmosphere of 19th and 20th-century boarding schools, as popularized by the emergence of Dark Academia around 2014. Light Academia later developed as a contrasting aesthetic, emphasizing the lighter, more joyful aspects of learning and life, yet sharing stylistic elements with its darker counterpart.
