It's officially autumn and you know what that means. Post dark academia inspo, post fits, give recs and ask for advice
Autumn is HERE... you know what that means. Time to dress up a little smarter. Time to layer your clothes. It’s time to put a little effort in. Shirts. Trousers. Nice shoes. No more polyester and synthetic cheap clothing. Only natural, long lasting materials. Wool. Cotton. Linen. Clothes made in the UK, Europe at a push. Yes, they’re more expensive but they’re better quality and last longer. Quality is the key. If your clothing looks robust then you’ll feel and look more confident and respectable and this echoes through every aspect of your life. Time to get a move on. Time to gain a clue.
Weather getting colder. Skies getting darker. Drizzle. Rain. Snow. Time to bring out the wool sweaters. The leather boots. The parkas. Time for stews. Soups. Hot chocolate. Open fires. Whiskey. Rum. Cigars. Hot baths. Snug blankets. A brisk stroll. Crunchy leaves under amber lights. Time to get comfy. Time to hunker down.
>>18543823I don't wear polyester or cheap clothing even in the summer. There's really no excuse for wearing that shit unless you're at a gym or something
any good dark academia movies? I looked up a list and I'm pretty sure they had AI write it. good will hunting was on there and it must have just given them movies with an academic setting and some darker themes without understanding the aesthetic
>>18543932Dead Poets Society is the quintessential DA film
Dark academia only works if you live in London, Edinburgh, Paris or Prague or one of these old, beautiful cities that match the vibe. Imagine being American and living in Dallas trying to dress like this when you're surrounded by obese Mexicans driving pickup trucks everywhere. It just doesn't work
>>18543932Dead Poets, Kill Your DarlingsThe Secret History hasn't been adapted but it's the classic book
>>18543934>Dead Poets SocietyNever seen it. Does it hold up? From the trailer, it looks gay, for its "you-can-do-it" messaging, yet nostalgic, for a time when the normies, the internet, and smartphones didn't ruin everything.
>>18544024Yes, it's really good, one of those films that stays with you for a long time after you've seen it. The vibes and aesthetic are really good, Robin Williams does an incredible job>"you-can-do-it" messaging Anon, that's not even remotely what the film is about. Wtf?
>>18544030>>"you-can-do-it" messaging>Dead Poets Society is a 1989 American *coming-of-age* drama>tells the story of an English teacher who *inspires his students* through his teaching of poetry.
>>18544036that's a very shallow way of looking at it
>>18544005Move to Boston or New York
>>18544064I legitimately forget Boston exists. Looks extremely comfy (in the nice parts)
>>18544005>London
>>18543752The fuck is dark academia kekArent most of u neets?!?!?! maybe try real academia haha
>>18544024>looks gay>posting on fashion boardLol
>>18544151Yes anon, London Fucking retard
>>18543826hell yeah
>>18544005>paris>londonYou'll just be surrounded by niggers in puffer jackets instead of mexicans
>>18544173I'm sure you'd fit right in at your apartment block full of roadmen
>>18544005but I don't live in any of those cities
yeah more like DORK academiaI'd rather be slacker academic
Here you go bros. Go paint your homes
>>18544260comfy. where at?
>>18544164>The fuck is dark academiasoggybiscuit of /tv/, /lit/, and /fa/
>>18544164>>18544470Dark academia started as an internet subculture mostly on Tumblr in the 2010s. It's not new
>>18544391helsinki. doens't look too different than some Montreal areas though
What about riveria convertable wear instead?
>>18544223Adult niggers and nafri also wears academia.
>>18545236This is what zoomers call "old money"
>>18543823What's the id of that sweater?
>>18544729Why would u idiots larp as mysterious british academics when u are american idiots ?And why does every style have to have a stupid name nowadays is that the consequence of tik tok?
>>18545331Damn you really are a fucking clueless retard aren't you? Your post absolutely oozes zoomer ignorance
>>18545289It's literally just steve mcqueen style
20-20 vision just a pair of empty frames!Dressing like a nerd although I never got the grades!I remember when the kids at school would call me names! (tramp balls)Now we’re talking over their estates!WOAH OH-OHHHHH!Love my life as a dickhead!All my friends are dickheads too!Come with me! Let’s be dickheads!Being a dickhead’s cool!
>>18545349NoI am laughing at the fags asking the fashion board on four chan how to look 'dark academia'............Wtf it isn't halloween, why does everyone want to wear a stupid costume 365 days of the year
>>18545536Now THIS is the dumbest post on 4chan right now
>>18545591It's not a costume though you retard
>>18545606If you have to make a whole thread asking people how to achieve looking a certain way, it is a costume bro
>>18545636you sound extremely insecure and threatened did some guy in wingtips and a wool sweater fuck your oneitis?
>>18543752This style intersects very well with Gothic. Just a bit more blacks and greys instead of browns and a bit more leather here and there and it's perfect.
>>18543752Where does one shop to buy stuff like this?Any store by me that carries anything like this is just hipster shit that completely misses the mark.I tried online but not even sure what to search
>>18545696ebay for vintage Ralph Lauren or similar brands. Vintage is your best bet All the trad/ivy/prep brands will get you similar
>>18545638I sound insecure because i dont need other men to tell me how to dress nicely? lol
>>18545802keep replying like a good little bitch
>>18545805Yes
>>18544005It works in any college town or city from Appalachia to Maine
The reason a lot of you don’t get Dark Academia is because people go too try hard with it. The point is to adopt traditional items and dark earth tones but incorporate some slacker/edgy elements. For example, a white oxford with cords and loafers is not exactly DA, but an off white oxford with dark brown cords and doc martens is DA.
really thought i was giving dark academia for a moment but on second thought i think to anyone here this is gonna read as hipster above all else lolthe search for a good wool sweater and peacoat continues
>>18545917u look like a ww2 pilot in the second pic. all youre missing is a funny helmetclean your mirror btw
>>18544005Why would you want to dress like this in texas when you are allowed to wear cowboy boots and westernwear,
>>18546010Because cowboy hats and western wear are fucking retarded
>>18544005it could work in PNW or New England but not in the midwest or south
>>18545905I spent a miserable year and a half in Appalachia and the "people" there don't even look like people. They're so obese it makes you wonder how humans can be shaped like that. And they dress like absolute shit, just t-shirts and tennis shoes looking like slobs If you actually try and dress well you'll stick out like a sore thumb Anyway, I hated every second living there so I took a job somewhere else and ruined my career in the process but it was worth it to not live there anymore
I swear this board is like 50% spelling bee Indians who want to feel white.
>>18546078>spelling bee IndiansNo one know what this is you're trying way too hard
>>18546065I would stick to the Gayborhood if I were you
>>18546061There are like two dozen states between New England, the South, the Midwest, and the PNW
>>18546065its wild when you realize india, north africa, the middle east and the north half of south america RIGHT NOW TODAY have like 3-10x the rate of inbreeding that appalachia had at its worst.
>>18545262>>18545236Yes
>>18546164Reminder to everyone to add this image to their filter lists
>>18544165You're here with us, too, faggot.
>>18546323Yes my girlfriend has a massive penis it's true
>>18544359cheers to that
>>18543752Can you do this aesthetic while being jacked? I want to go for an Athleticademia fusion
>>18546483yes anon, just pretend you're in an old burberry or ralph lauren ad, play college football and have your dad's seamstress tailor you a long pea double-breasted coat for when it's too cold for your varsity jacket and don't forget to put on a turtleneck and leather gloves when driving his cabriolet
>>18545236Just get normal penny of horsebit leafers. Driving loafers just look cheap.
>>18546483Remember that picture of the TF2 Heavy wearing a sweater vest? Do that.
>>18545236Driving loafers absolutely scream "pajeet"
>>18546446I love the aesthetic of school of rock The main characters costume design of "rock n roll slacker pretending to be ivy-league" is such a potent vibe that it honestly stands on its own as a stylehis apartment is fucking gorgeous too, literal dream interior
The unfortunate truth of the matter is that if you unironically pursue styles labeled dark academia or old money you are a quintessentially Indian, if not in body then in mind. In the same way that “swag” outfits are Filipino in nature, so is an ill fitting polo shirt consisting mostly out of polyester the usual attire of browns. Lipstick on a pig and all that
>>18546350We accept your concession.
>>18546663You are absolutely buck broken by Indians, you are unable to think of anything else. You see someone asking about brown trousers and a coat and mentioning they like classic literature and all you can do is complain about Indians. They live in your head rent free I can't imagine what it's like to be you
>>18546937Fuck them honestly, it's my mother's fault for having sex with one.
Honestly first tike ive heard of the style and i quite like it to be honest , may start changing my style towards this tho the normie fags i work with may look at me weird , whatever tho
>>18545917Nah, it's not dark academia at all.
>>18546655slackademic is the new meta
>>18545917The only thing this is 'giving' is brown thrift shopper who shouldn't be living in a white country. Go home.
>>18547115hear hear
>>18545917fucking foreign invader. go back to your shithole country. Human cockroach, garbage ethnicity garbage fucking cultcha. Dreg on society
>>18547202>>18547383do you have nothing better to do with your life than impotently spew generic hateslop to random people on a dead irrelevant 4chan board?
>>18547388>hateslopThat brown freak is barely human. It's truth. You faggot predditors have completely over used these words to death. Fuck off, faggot.
>>18543752Its just fall prep style, this whole "dark academia" shit is ghey and cringe.
>>18545262what's fucked is where I live the only other people I see dressed nicely are non whites. Every white guy I see is in dirty jeans, kid sneakers and a stupid hoodie.>t. white Canadian millionaire.
>>18547397i know tears were streaming down your acne-scarred brown face typing this
how did I doI have all but the slacks
>>18547400White canadians are white trash
>>18546593>>18546642manlet alert
>>18547932Shaggy and scooby pilled Try again
>>18546045More than you can afford pal
