Academia wardrobe

“Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! People can't see me like this. My own mother won't recognize me.” Chances are, nearly all of us have felt like this after a horrendous haircut. Whether by the will of a newbie/hungover/angry hairstylist or by your own clumsy hands at home, you've ended up massacring your hairdo. And now you can't leave home out of shame. (Which is kind of alright what with the global pandemic, lockdowns, and all.)

If you don't know what the Dark Academia aesthetic is, a crash course would to be to watch the movies Dead Poets Society (and cry a little), and Mona Lisa's Smile. Pay attention to the fashion, and you will understand the Dark Academia style.
