- brown or cream coloured flowy dresses
- chess matches in the public gardens
- boater hats!
- linen button shirts
- archery? rowing?
- spending time outside looking at pretty buildings
- lacy socks
- braces (suspenders)
- gold-rimmed circular sunglasses
- sketching the view outside one‘s window in a little brown booklet
- waistcoats!
- sheltering oneself from the sun by visiting museums & art galleries
- picnics! outdoor reading!
- always brown oxfords
- victorian style lemonade in an ornate glass carafe
I hope this helps, even just a little
How do i throw a dark academia inspired dinner party? What activities/drinks and mannerisms should i incorperate to make it as classy as possible?
A Dark Academic Dinner Party:
- Hold it in the late evening if you can
- Leave some time after eating to converse in a comfortable area (i.e. not the dining table)
- Have some low mood lighting, but don’t turn your space into a cave
- I recommend lighting some pillar candles, incorporating one scented one with them (I associate dark academia with woody, musky or smoky scents rather than the floral or fruit kind)
- Discuss macabre mysteries! History facts you find interesting! Divert your conversation away from gossip
- Make cocktails (or mocktails) for your guests
- Debates are always fun, make sure they don’t get too impassioned
- Play soft jazz, classical, piano or violin music lightly in the background (I like Agnes Obel, Joep Beving, Lambert, Debussy & Abel Korzeniowski)
- Swap the bowl of Cheez-Its for olives, samphire or canapés
- Wear a good shirt & jacket, or a smart dress (if you want to go even further, create a dress code)
- If you wear makeup, wear dark colours, maybe even a dark lip I dare say!
- Have good posture! Display your host confidence!
- Make witty jokes in conversation
- Never make any person the subject of your humour, no matter how much you dislike them

hi! not sure if you do this sorta stuff, but what sort of clothes do you wear at home? for 'casual' stuff when you wanna relax? also, what sort of earrings would you recommend? hope you can answer, thank you so much! <3
I’m currently wearing a very extremely chunky cream jumper. This jumper keeps me warm & toasty throughout the long winters here & I would highly recommend one. Knitted jumpers primarily.
I usually wear linen trousers when I'm relaxing at home as they are very light & comfortable.
Pair these two garments with a good pair of grandpa slippers or thick socks & you have yourself a comfortable at home outfit that isn’t just your pyjamas.

Earrings aren’t really my department so to speak, but many of my friends wear either gold or silver coin earrings mostly. I've noticed "gothic" style earrings are popular too. I personally love earrings shaped like keys or swords as well as "threader earrings".
I'll link some etsy shops that sell some styles of earrings that I like here:
I hope this helped you!
