Dark Academia Party Outfits?

Dark academia party outfits?

this is such a good ask, thank you!🖤 it’s going to be a long post:

a house party in an old mansion

a short black dress with either long, puffed sleeves or spaghetti straps (possibly worn under a sheer, black blouse)

black, thin tights if it’s wintertime

battered oxfords that you don’t mind getting splashes of beer on

gold earrings & multiple dainty rings on your fingers

some canvas bag you got from a bookshop that is big enough to hold whatever drinks you decide to bring

either black, gold, burgundy or dark brown eyeliner, or dark red lipstick

hair let loose

black or burgundy nail polish to match the wine you’ll be drinking

graduation dinner with your family

black dressy trousers & a black or cream-coloured silk blouse tucked into them, a blazer in brown shades if it’s chilly at the restaurant

black heeled boots with block heels (or loafers if you prefer flats)

a thin gold necklace that you got as a gift from your parents years ago

a wash of brown eyeshadow

hair pulled back with a black velvet ribbon to avoid getting it into your food

nude nail polish

a cocktail party in honour of one of your professors

a structured dress in black velvet

low, black ankle-strap heels

your golden class ring & a pair of gold earrings

a small vintage clutch that holds your lipstick, a pen & a tiny notebook

a natural makeup look with emphasis on the lashes

hair in vintage-inspired curls or in a low bun, perhaps adorned with golden or pearl-decorated barrettes

your university friends dragged you to a club

black mum jeans & a sheer black blouse with a beautiful bralette underneath, or a little black dress

thin black tights if you have to queue outside in cold weather

any shoes you feel comfortable dancing in (once you’ve had enough gin tonics to actually step onto the dance floor) – a pair of oxfords or some old boots

whatever jewelry you aren’t too afraid to lose

a small bag to put your phone & wallet in if you don’t have pockets

either a very natural makeup, deep red lipstick or a coloured eyeliner

hair let loose (but there is a black or cream silk scrunchie around your wrist for when your hair starts to stick to your sweaty skin)

a garden party for a rich distant relative’s birthday

a white linen dress, either somewhat flowy or very structured (a shirt dress with a cinched waist for example)

nude block heels or a nice pair of dark brown leather loafers

a pearl necklace & earrings or just the golden bracelet the rich relative sent you last christmas

natural makeup, nude lips & a lot of sunscreen

hair in loose curls or in a romantic bun

your best friend’s small housewarming

black mum jeans or your favourite trousers & a shirt or blouse

a comfortable pair of socks that keep your feet warm while you’re all curled up on the sofa, reading excerpts from books to each other

oxfords or boots with block heels

your favourite ring – perhaps a croissant one or the one that looks like an old coin

you leather cross-body bag that holds a letter & a thrifted book that you got as a gift for your friend

no makeup at all, or perhaps some red lipstick that you hastily put on before leaving

hair in its natural state

a ball in your school’s beautiful hall

a black, navy, burgundy, champagne or dark green floor-length gown in a beautiful material – go for a style you feel confident in, but do consider a dress that is tighter on top (avoid strapless styles you’ll end up constantly pulling up; long sleeves are gorgeous) & has an a-line hem, & avoid dresses that a too poofy, go for a classic silhouette instead

a pair of black or nude shoes with a low heel, perfect for dancing

a gorgeous necklace with matching earrings – perhaps diamonds or pearls borrowed from your grandmother?

a soft eyeshadow look & nude lipstick

hair in whatever formal style suits you best, finished off with pearls or diamonds or a velvet or silk ribbon

your cousin invited you to a pool party

a black, brown or beige swimsuit or bikini & a very oversized white shirt as a cover up

a pair of birkenstocks

the one golden necklace you have that isn’t ruined in water & a pair of tortoise shell sunglasses, a paperback to read in the shadow of a tree

a lot of carefully applied sunscreen

hair pulled into a bun & secured with a black scrunchie or a tortoise shell claw clip

an autumnal bonfire

grey or black wool trousers, a dark brown or black turtleneck & a long, oversized coat

thick, warm socks

old oxfords or a pair of chelsea boots

knit mittens & a big scarf to lend to a friend that never dresses warm enough for the autumn weather

minimal makeup, just red cheeks & tip of nose from the cool air, & perhaps a smudged red lipstick from earlier in the day

the lengths of your hair left underneath the collar of the turtleneck for extra warmth

your friend group hosts a new year’s party

a silk slip dress in either dark blue, cream white or black paired with a brown checkered blazer or a chunky cropped cardigan, & an oversized wool coat for when you go pop the champagne bottles outside

thin black or nude tights

block heels, kitten heels, oxfords, combat or chelsea boots – almost anything goes!

a long black scarf to loosely wrap around your neck when you go outdoors to watch the fireworks at midnight

a simple golden necklace or gold earrings, & a statement gold ring

deep red lipstick with an otherwise understated makeup look

hair in vintage curls, left open or in a curly low bun, & barrettes decorating the hairstyle if the outfit isn’t too busy as is

red nail polish that matches the lip colour
