Dark Academia is an aesthetic that revolves around classic literature, the pursuit of self-discovery, and a general passion for knowledge and learning. It is one of several variations, each with a unique historical focus. Dark Academia's best-known visual variations stem primarily from European cultures.

Español: Dark Academia es una estética que gira en torno a la literatura clásica, la búsqueda del autodescubrimiento y una pasión general por el conocimiento y el aprendizaje. Es una de varias variaciones, cada una con su propio enfoque histórico único. Dark Academia proviene visualmente de las culturas europeas, al igual que con sus variaciones más conocidas.

Notes

  1. While this aesthetic is not inherently negative, it has come under scrutiny as of late due to its seeming encouragement of classist attitudes (menial work being 'inferior' to mental work) and unhealthy behavior (sacrificing sleep, relationships, mental health, and personal care for study). If you are interested in this aesthetic, please be sure to embrace the positive aspects and be cautious of the potentially harmful ones.
  2. While the aesthetic lends itself to Eurocentrism, let it be known that every culture is welcome, and you are encouraged to find ways to blend your heritage with this aesthetic. Do not feel as if you are not Dark Academic enough because of where you are from. (And feel free to share POC book recs in the comments or in the main list.)
  3. The Style Guide is first and foremost a guide, not a uniform. Its purpose is to inspire, not hold you back. You should not feel inadequate if you cannot wear everything featured on the list; those are mere suggestions and what you wear is up to you. If you prefer following the aesthetic to a 'T', good for you; if you prefer taking inspiration from it and wearing bits and pieces, that's great too.
  4. There is no place for any type of shaming or bullying within the community. Be it against race, religion, social status, sexuality, education, ability, body type, etc., any form of discrimination is not welcome. The academic community is here for anyone who holds an appreciation for learning.

Notas

  1. Si bien esta estética no es intrínsecamente negativa, últimamente ha sido objeto de escrutinio debido a su aparente aliento de las actitudes clasistas (el trabajo servil es 'inferior' al trabajo mental) y el comportamiento poco saludable (sacrificar el sueño, las relaciones, la salud mental y el cuidado personal para estudiar). Si está interesado en esta estética, asegúrese de aceptar los aspectos positivos y tenga cuidado con los potencialmente dañinos.
  2. Si bien la estética se presta al eurocentrismo, deje que se sepa que todas las culturas son bienvenidas y se le anima a encontrar formas de combinar su herencia con esta estética. No se sienta como si no fuera lo suficientemente académico oscuro debido a su lugar de origen. (Y siéntase libre de compartir las recomendaciones de libros de POC en los comentarios o en la lista principal).
  3. La Guía de estilo es ante todo una guía, no un uniforme. Su propósito es inspirarte, no detenerte. No debe sentirse inadecuado si no puede usar todo lo que aparece en la lista; esas son meras sugerencias y lo que te pongas depende de ti. Si prefieres seguir la estética a una 'T', bien por ti; si prefieres inspirarte en él y usar partes y piezas, eso también es genial.
  4. No hay lugar para ningún tipo de vergüenza o intimidación dentro de la comunidad. Ya sea en contra de la raza, la religión, el estatus social, la sexualidad, la educación, la capacidad, el tipo de cuerpo, etc., cualquier forma de discriminación no es bienvenida. La comunidad académica está aquí para cualquier persona que aprecie el aprendizaje.

Variations

Art Academia: Based on classical art movements.

Chaotic Academia: A mixture of Dark Academia and 'chaotic' or 'feral' aesthetics like Goblincore. Cramming for tests at midnight and riding caffeine highs for days until you crash. Committing arson with your friends and shoplifting stationery. Spraying 'fuck the electoral college' on brick walls. Falling asleep in the school library and saving all your Monster Energy cans.

Classic Academia: A mix of the Academia family of aesthetics. Impeccable notes in class. Leatherbound bags crammed with textbooks and pens. Lots of coffee with scones, and even more late nights. A wide vocabulary (that people constantly comment on). Lives in the library.

Darkest Academia: Similar to Dark Academia, but with darker, even sinister visuals and more serious themes.

Fairy Academia: Based on the visual aesthetics of Victorian and Edwardian childhood.

Grey Academia: A deliberate push back against the elitist attitudes, Eurocentric view, and exclusion of neurodivergent, POC, and people part of the LBGTQ+ community from some (not all) academia spaces. There is a trend towards more diverse styles of dress, tools used, and a focus on activism and social issues.

Light Academia: Similar to Dark Academia, but with a distinctly lighter color palette and overall aesthetic.

Pagano-Lovecore: A hybrid of Academia aesthetics and Lovecore, based in love in Greco-Roman mythology.

Pastel Academia: Less mature than the other forms of academia, pastel academia showcases much more colour and a childlike "Kawaii" aesthetic. It is less Eurocentric and more based around Japanese styles of study and clothing.

Romantic Academia: More closely related to Light Academia with a focus on romance and elements of Baroque.

Theatre Academia: Based on plays, operas, and other musically inclined types of art

Witchy Academia: Similar to Dark Academia, but with themes of Witchcraft.

Writer Academia: Also known as Writercore or Poetcore, a branch of Academia specifically for writers. Writer Academia holds the belief that anyone could be a writer, or poet, as long as you enjoy writing and hold a passion for your work.

Fashion

The main inspiration for Dark Academic fashion comes from 1940s prep school uniforms. Elements of the 1950s suburban American preppy look are often incorporated, such as sweater vests or sweaters worn tied over the shoulders. The main colour scheme is black, grey, beige, brown, cream, ivory, dark green, burgundy, and soft yellow. Usual fabric choices are more upscale, like cashmere, wool, and tweed, but linen and cotton are also very common. Accessories are usually minimal, like bracelets, rings, pendants, watches, cuff-links, and other dapper add-on pieces.

(La principal inspiración para el estilo Dark Academic proviene de los uniformes escolares de preparación de los años 40. El esquema de color principal es negro, gris, beige, marrón, crema, marfil, verde oscuro, burdeos, un amarillo suave. Las opciones habituales de telas son más exclusivas, como la cachemira, la lana y el tweed, pero el lino y el algodón también son muy comunes. Los accesorios suelen ser mínimos, como pulseras, anillos, colgantes, relojes, gemelos y otros complementos elegantes.)
