The academia aesthetic takes inspiration from mid-20th-century classic, preppy clothing. It is often subcategorized into dark academia for darker tones and light academia for lighter colors. 

Think of the style you would see in a classy 1960s library, with lots of plaid, trench coats, thick knit sweaters, brass and gold-tone accessories, chunky loafers, and more.
