Amazing video😍 I always associate Dark Academia with Oxford and Cambridge and British architecture and Light Academia more with Italian and French softness.

Hello Fab. I’m a teacher so love the dark and light academia styles. Thank you for the great video 😊

[nomadine]

I love the series fake or fortune. It makes me so happy. And you mentioning it made me go binge it again 😬

[sherryedwards]

Yes I totally enjoyed this video. Not only was it about clothes, which I love, but I love your knowledge and how easy you present it. I also love all that history. I think I prefer light academia over the dark one. Great video.

You are such a lovely young lady and so devoted to the topics you discuss in your videos. Thank you!

Great to see you back! Especially with a video on an aesthetic I love (and the video itself giving me the same soft, quiet, chill vibes the aesthetic does haha). I think this style fits right in with the lighter, conventionally feminine colours you often gravitate towards with your fashion, and as a result I felt all those whites and creams-based outfits you chose really suited you :) Oh and if I can make a movie recommendation here too, Meet Me in St. Louis is another period film and has Judy Garland in some imo lovely bright Edwardian dresses which could really lend themselves to light academia in a similar way to what you picked out.

GWORL, the outfit inspo part is giving Slender Man collab with Salad Fingers. Love the outfits!

Count me in, I am romanticising romanticising itself, it is so bad with me currently \o/

I'll be able to move soon if I get the apartment I applied to and I totally want to get some romantic light academia aesthetic into it if I manage to do that ^w^

So this video is really really fitting currently

Absolutely sublime analysis, thank you for introducing us to this sweet look :)

I'm creating Brown Academia. It's a lower to middle class aesthetic. For those Auto-didactic learners that never could afford college. Focusing on frugal living, The modern philosophy of minimalism is perfect. Academic focus would be Philosophy, history, science, etc. Also learning light home repair along with gardening, and cooking, and the like. The mindset is more Logic and reason based, Realistic philosophies such as Epicurus, Schopenhauer, Camus etc. Working an honest hard day is not shameful, and neither is saving 20% of your income every week for your retirement. But since you are more curious and learned then the average Joe you enjoy some different things. Such as a nice waistcoat and a flat cap. Mixing blue jeans with a dress shirt and waistcoat would not seem unusual on a night out. A cup of tea and a hearty homemade stew would hit the spot. I kind of think of Hobbits. I now have a Pintrest page for Brown Academia.

This is so exciting as I’ve been doing this on my own for the past couple of years. I bought a little Tudor cottage in Calif . and am kind of combining anything British.

[StephanieRendino]

The word you're looking for with those bright libraries is "Baroque".

[rebecaguevara]

Downton Abbey is good too ! Must watch !
