Hey, pretty people!

 

 

 

It has been a while since I posted the last chapter of The Fashion Journal; much like (almost) all of the previous chapters, we are going to talk about another Academia subgenre: Pastel Academia.

 

We are going to see a total of 10 outfit ideas in this article, but most importantly we are going to see every single detail that makes up this aesthetic. From colors to items, you’ll know this style in and out by the end of it!

I advise you to grab a drink, a snack and a notepad, possibly; we’re going to be here a while!

 

So, are you finally ready to find out how you can copy the Pastel Academia aesthetics?

Let’s get started!

 

 

 

THE ITEMS

Pastel Academia surely is an Academia subgenre, but has a far more playful and child-like vibe; much less mature, even.

This playfulness often results in more colorful choices, that give the overall outfit an upbeat – even loud feel; these elements usually translate into cozy and comfy clothes.

 

INSPIRATION

When it comes to inspiration, I feel like a great starting point are school uniforms – anime ones, too! Not exactly because of the color, but more because of the actual items.

Even though ‘cozy’ and ‘comfy’ can be considered staples for this aesthetic, fitted items are quite important as well; hence the school uniform reference.

 

ACCESSORIES

Accessories are a pretty big part of the whole Pastel Academia fashion style, and even those are usually pretty colorful and can be considered ‘cute’.

These accessories should vary quite a bit, if you want a proper Pastel Academia feel; you want bowties, simple bows, cute rings and even necklaces. Go for things that you like and feel comfortable wearing, even if they have more simple designs.

 

 

THE OUTFITS

We have covered a more general idea of the ensembles you want to create in the previous section, but now it’s time to get up close and personal with this aesthetic.

 

ART ACADEMIA COMPARISON

For certain aspects, Pastel Academia reminds me a little bit of Art Academia (you can check out that aesthetic here). Particularly, the ‘comfort is key’ principle.

Even though there are many oversized elements here, particularly sweaters, vests and such, the balance between them and more fitted items is quite better than what we saw in Art Academia.

 

ACCESSORIES AS PART OF THE OUTFIT

Another important element you shouldn’t downplay here are accessories.

They are the core of the cutesy vibe Pastel Academia holds, and the more you vary between them, the better. However, you should note that the most common and distinctive ones are hair-related.

From bows, to hair ties, to clips. The ‘cute’ element should always be present, but don’t feel limited by it. In fact, as long as you pick colorful items, even a simple design fits perfectly inside this style.

As a general rule: the more colorful, the better.

 

 

THE COLORS

I think this section is going to fly by us pretty quickly, mainly because it’s quite self-explanatory; the aesthetic is names Pastel Academia, after all!

Colors are the real star here, and the more you make use of them, the better. Sure, you want pastels to be the main focus, but other shades are more than welcome here.

 

THE MOST POPULAR SHADES

Among the most popular hues we have pinks and peaches, both in fashion and makeup.

Of course, you want to pick the pinks and peaches that fit your own skincolor better – so don’t feel like you have to stick to pale ones!

 

DESIGNS

Designs are more than welcome in the Pastel Academia aesthetic, although – as you probably have guessed by now – the more minimal and cutesy ones are the ones you should go for.

Besides them, plaid is the real pattern that fits in this aesthetic perfectly – and one of the most popular ones in general, especially when it comes to the Academia genre.

 

 

 

10 KEY ITEMS

Lastly, we are going to talk about the ten items you should consider investing in to create your Pastel Academia aesthetic.

Of course, none of the principles stated in this chapter are to be taken as holy grails; you should definitely apply your own personal sense of fashion into your outfits, and feel free to accessorize as much or as little as you prefer.
