  • Hello my loves! In today's video we're dissecting the very popular aesthetics right now of Dark & Light Academia. Also, we delve into the meaning, fashion, and key elements of both aesthetics, revealing how to effortlessly achieve these coveted looks. Dark Academia, often known as classic academia, showcases a moody, scholarly vibe with a focus on intellectual pursuits. To dress like a Dark Academic, opt for vintage-inspired attire, tailored blazers, pleated skirts, and rich earthy tones. Light Academia, on the other hand, exudes a dreamy, whimsical atmosphere, reminiscent of fairy tales and poetic landscapes. Dress in soft pastels, flowy dresses, Oxford shoes, and incorporate delicate accessories to embrace the Light Academia style. Discover the distinct differences between these styles and unlock the secrets to mastering their unique fashion languages. Join us on this enchanting journey!

    Interesting. I’m a mix of both. My colour palette is absolutely dark academia, but without the gothic aspect, plus I like all the materials and patterns of light academia. And when it comes to the values, mine are more nature-focused and poetic, but melancholic and with a preference for solitude. But, like, solitude in a summery meadow. But in the colour palette of dark academia.

    I don't mind watching a video of you taking for 10 minutes because you brought so much information and photo reference to the subject. So many others spent their entire time just talking and occasionally holding up clothes.
    I REALLY appreciate that you put in the effort. Your video stands out and I loved every minute of it.

    Helpful video. I, too, am a mix of both. I love both a Light academia maybe "Jane Austen aesthetic" you could say but also love a dar/goth aesthetic following my love for Bronte books and the like. Maybe I could follow a light aesthetic in the warm months and dark for fall/winter as others suggested. I agree with others-you are gorgeous. Thank you for your videos and I realize I'm late replying but just found you. Looking forward to watching more soon.

    Honestly the style
    Is too “costumey”. Instead, live the style. Enroll in a school, remove victorian and english aspects from this theme, and it will help a lot.

    • @SilvinaGaiero
      @SilvinaGaiero  Pƙed 9 měsĂ­ci +2

      If you remove the victorian aspects of it it’s no longer Dark Academia. The whole point of the style is to be inspired by past times that’s why it feels “customey” for today’s informal standards. But you certainly don’t need to go to school to achieve a fashion style. Have a great day.
