The Autumn Academia Aesthetic.

.
Autumn is just around the corner. It truly is my favourite season - the nature, the coziness of it all, the fashion, the makeup... it's where I belong, it's when I am truly in my element. However, not every autumn aesthetic is the same each year as it depends on the trends as well as personal preference. Last autumn for me was defined by my discovery of the "dark academia" or simply "academia" aesthetic. Basically, it's the style that evokes the image of that "preppy student in a classic Oxford university" sort of look. It's classic, chic, mature, yet still fun as it's different from the typical style you often see in your day to day.

Drawing inspiration from the runway including Celine Fall 2019 RTW, Lemaire Fall 2016 RTW, and Burberry Spring 2019 RTW as well as from Pinterest in moodboard above, you may now get a feel as to what the academia aesthetic is all about which does featurea a lot of neutral tones (black, white, camel, beige, cream); plaid prints; blazers and trenches; loafers and leather; etc. See below for some fashion finds (affiliate links) that you can integrate into your own wardrobe. Let me know which are your favourites!
