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.

I 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

>>18543932
Dead 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

>>18543932
Dead Poets, Kill Your Darlings
The Secret History hasn't been adapted but it's the classic book

>>18543934
>Dead Poets Society
Never 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.

>>18544024
Yes, 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.

>>18544036
that's a very shallow way of looking at it

>>18544005
Move to Boston or New York

>>18544064
I legitimately forget Boston exists. Looks extremely comfy (in the nice parts)

>>18544005
>London

>>18543752 (OP)
The fuck is dark academia kek
Arent most of u neets?!?!?! maybe try real academia haha

>>18544024
>looks gay
>posting on fashion board
Lol

>>18544151
Yes anon, London
Fucking retard

>>18543826
hell yeah

>>18544005
>paris
>london
You'll just be surrounded by niggers in puffer jackets instead of mexicans

>>18544173
I'm sure you'd fit right in at your apartment block full of roadmen

>>18544005
but I don't live in any of those cities

yeah more like DORK academia

I'd rather be slacker academic

Here you go bros. Go paint your homes

>>18544260
comfy. where at?

>>18544164
>The fuck is dark academia
soggybiscuit of /tv/, /lit/, and /fa/

>>18544164
>>18544470
Dark academia started as an internet subculture mostly on Tumblr in the 2010s. It's not new

>>18544391
helsinki. doens't look too different than some Montreal areas though

What about riveria convertable wear instead?

>>18544223
Adult niggers and nafri also wears academia.

>>18545236
This is what zoomers call "old money"

>>18543823
What's the id of that sweater?

>>18544729
Why 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?

>>18545331
Damn you really are a fucking clueless retard aren't you?
Your post absolutely oozes zoomer ignorance

>>18545289
It'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!

>>18545349
No
I 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

>>18545536
Now THIS is the dumbest post on 4chan right now

>>18545591
It's not a costume though you retard

>>18545606
If you have to make a whole thread asking people how to achieve looking a certain way, it is a costume bro

>>18545636
you sound extremely insecure and threatened
did some guy in wingtips and a wool sweater fuck your oneitis?

>>18543752 (OP)
This 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.

>>18543752 (OP)
Where 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

>>18545696
ebay for vintage Ralph Lauren or similar brands. Vintage is your best bet
All the trad/ivy/prep brands will get you similar

>>18545638
I sound insecure because i dont need other men to tell me how to dress nicely? lol

>>18545802
keep replying like a good little bitch

>>18545805
Yes

>>18544005
It 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 lol
the search for a good wool sweater and peacoat continues

>>18545917
u look like a ww2 pilot in the second pic. all youre missing is a funny helmet
clean your mirror btw

>>18544005
Why would you want to dress like this in texas when you are allowed to wear cowboy boots and westernwear,

>>18546010
Because cowboy hats and western wear are fucking retarded

>>18544005
it could work in PNW or New England but not in the midwest or south

>>18545905
I 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 Indians
No one know what this is you're trying way too hard

>>18546065
I would stick to the Gayborhood if I were you

>>18546061
There are like two dozen states between New England, the South, the Midwest, and the PNW

>>18546065
its 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
>>18545236
Yes

>>18546164
Reminder to everyone to add this image to their filter lists

You're here with us, too, faggot.

>>18546323
Yes my girlfriend has a massive penis it's true

>>18544359
cheers to that

>>18543752 (OP)
Can you do this aesthetic while being jacked? I want to go for an Athleticademia fusion

>>18546483
yes 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

>>18545236
Just get normal penny of horsebit leafers. Driving loafers just look cheap.

>>18546483
Remember that picture of the TF2 Heavy wearing a sweater vest? Do that.

>>18545236
Driving loafers absolutely scream "pajeet"

>>18546446
I 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 style

his 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

>>18546350
We accept your concession.

>>18546663
You 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

>>18546937
Fuck 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

>>18545917
Nah, it's not dark academia at all.

>>18546655
slackademic is the new meta

>>18545917
The only thing this is 'giving' is brown thrift shopper who shouldn't be living in a white country. Go home.

>>18547115
hear hear

>>18547202
>>18547383
do you have nothing better to do with your life than impotently spew generic hateslop to random people on a dead irrelevant 4chan board?

>>18543752 (OP)
Its just fall prep style, this whole "dark academia" shit is ghey and cringe.

>>18545262
what'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.

>>18547397
i know tears were streaming down your acne-scarred brown face typing this

how did I do
I have all but the slacks

>>18547400
White canadians are white trash

Do you have any other life besides hanging around on the fashion board of a Japanese anime image board for 18 hours a day trolling?
I recognize your posts all over the board.
And now, like clockwork, you're going to call me "schizo" and tell me to take my meds which is your go-to for years now, which is how long you've been doing it

Thoughts on black corduroys?

>>18548156
black isn't dark academia, but dark brown is

>>18547400
care to fund my dark academia wardrobe sir millionaire?
all these clothes are expensive as fuck for no reason
just to think these were the "broke student" outfits a couple hundred years ago... (i jest, i know probably no one dressed like that but point stands)

Friendly reminder you MUST be white (possibly east asian) to pull this off

>>18548191
Indians will never be accepted as white.

>>18548154
Sorry little guy

>>18547932
>yellow face watch
Are you 17 years old?

>>18548154
>which is your go-to for years now, which is how long you've been doing it
he's been doing it for at least 7-8 years if you look at archives on warosu.
i think this is his job. he starts and stops posting the same time every day, 5 days a week like a work schedule.
i do some stuff related to digital marketing -- the going rate to hire an indian chatter or shill who is fluent in english is only around $15 per day. if some entity like an ngo or government wanted to shit up and signal jam productive conversation on 4chan, the cost of hiring a jeet to sit on here 24/7 would be inconsequentially minuscule.

>>18548586
I'm 37, but it was a gift from an old man when I was 24 or so

>>18545917
i mean ig your skin is kinda dark

This seems like the best thread to ask, anyone know a brand that makes a similar derby to this one? These are from Our Legacy but I'd really prefer to buy from a brand that specializes in shoes.

>>18546937
This. I understand not liking Indians but at some point, especially if you're complaining about them where they aren't even remotely relevant, you just come off as Pakistani. I avoid saying anything about the matter because someone will just reply with some variation of 'hello saar' but I had to get it off my chest

>>18549660
Nobody but poos and pakis can even differentiate between pakistan and india.

>>18549706
Exactly. Their only difference is their religion. They're exactly the same people to everyone outside of their geopolitical sphere

>>18543752 (OP)
Margret howell is so overpriced it's ridiculous. Add to that the comical fucking fits which only look good in very particular shots on very particular people. DBF is already too far but Margret Howell manages somehow to be even more loose fitting and even more expensive.

Just spend the money on Drakes. It has duties included and the prices aren't ridiculous for what you get in terms of tailoring and materials (don't buy anything other than their games line and adjacents thoever; everything more expensive is better at a tailor and everything under that 400+ trouser and 1100 jacket range is probably overpriced (see shirts, longsleeves etc.). The socks and scarves are good for what they cost. Also like the accessories largely.

>>18547935
>>18547400
I wish white Canadians dressed decent. I think ethnic Canadians only dress about 5% better though. The nation tragically is just a big infested yeast-hole. The muse, she isn't getting through; ~ I wish I knew why.
Our aspiration to achieve in just about every medium has all to do with an aesthetic integrity being observed in the initial stages which are manners, & presentation.
Sloppiness is immoral.

>>18543826
Rum and cigars?

>>18550007
i tried cognac recently to give myself a break from whiskey and really enjoy it

>>18550006
Is it true sissy-cages are government mandated in canada?

i like this vibe but im a ceramics teacher and it isnt functional and would get dirty. feels bad man

Meanwhile, Chad can wear a torn old sweatshirt and jeans and picrel is on his arm without him even knowing what she's wearing, but go ahead with your sad costumery, girls like this will totally be chasing (you) LMAO

>>18550171
I can't believe you made this post unironically

stop wearing these baggy pants if you're under 5'11
you look much more attractive in slim/straight pants

No. But something similar soon.
The pod is going to be so chill. -- You literally sleep in it and it hits so hard you literally don't even wake-up.

>>18547935
Canadafags are cringe

>>18544005
There's still a lot of worthwhile inspiration to take from the aesthetic, just tone it down depending on your surroundings.

>>18550021
Though in a neighbourhood called Kensington Market there were once punks who lived in cages. I don't know what happened to them.
I don't know why Indians won't revive it. The bars of the cage will 'bar' the domestic violence and revenge from escalating. . . And I reckon they would permit voyeurism, which they like. . . so.

>>18550171
Mrs. Toad, I presume?

Yikes.

>it only works if you live in one of the bazillion university cities in Europe

Oh no! Anyway.

I'm going to see a Richard Stallman lecture next Friday, anyone got good tip for hat and scarfs?

>>18548191
Even ai slop indians aren't as off-putting as the real thing

>>18549660
nobody other than indians even knows what a pakistani is good evening saar

>>18549660
There are so many of these cretins they could flood every country on earth. Complain about them NOW or they will become 'relevant' in your neighbourhood.

Any recs for brown cords for a manlet? More "autumn" brown than earth brown.

I would dress like this but I live in a hot hellscape (Texas) and it doesn't even get below 90 for the high until January and there's only 3 months of nice weather a year

>>18543752 (OP)
should have just posted a /tip/ thread de su

not /tip/ so why would i?

We need to build a wall around india and begin a forced quarantine with deportations back to india.

>>18545227
Is that near Kaivopuisto, Iinen puistotie or something? Looks like could be from Munkkiniemi also. Anyway, Hese is the best.

Where the heck can I get a cable knit sweater that doesn't break my wagie bank? I'm just looking for the most affordable options that aren't made of shitty fabrics and whatnot
