All You Need To Know About Light Academia

To know about Light Academia we gotta give you the 101 of the Academia aesthetic (cue the flashback wavy lines transition).  Academia is an aesthetic that refers to the romanticisation of studying, reading and learning in general, specifically to the looks that are seen adorned by the preppiest and most sophisticated of students. ‘Cause who doesn’t want to become to the books they read? Become the classics you love to read and exude that private school chic look on the daily. Light Academia is the little sister of this look as it focuses on the softer side of the hot scholars. Think more European looks with major doses of beige, white and light hues. This look highlights the sweet and pleasant side of student life, like frequenting cafes and gorgeous vintage book stores. And we’re sure you’ve seen this style sweep the internet from TikTok to luxury fashions to media like Gossip Girl. It’s EVERYWHERE. So we needed to tell you about it and help you start this new fashion journey. 
What You Need For This Look

Pleated Skirts Are A Necessity

Every sophisticated school girl always had the cutest skirt that always reminded us of the New York fashion scape. Opt for a light tone like beige, white or cream. Style the skirt with a button-up, cable knit and a fitted blazer. 

 

 

Classy From Head To Toe

Shoes are an important part of your look girl, so make sure to finish this ‘fit with something that’s as classy as the rest of it. Try out block heels or loafers for that sophisticated yet studious appeal.

Keep It Tailored

If you’re not into wearing skirts, don’t worry we have other options for you! Opt for some well-fitted suit style pants in a light hue to continue with this soft yet elegant look. Finish off the look with a blazer and collared shirt.
 

Knitted Up

What’s something all the cutest academics wear? Other than polos, knits of course! Make sure to try out vests, sweaters and turtlenecks to see which one brings out the most big brain in you. Try out a cropped sweater and pair it with a stack of gold necklaces to add that bit of edge to your sleek style.
