Saw someone post about swag academia and I am here to propose PUNK ACADEMIA as a mix of formal style, shirts, glasses, preppy sweaters, muted colors with grungy elements, spikes, layering and DIY, representing the combination of each community’s values.
These two subcultures/ aesthetics bring out each others best parts imo, with punk approach making academia less about elitism and scores and more about pursuit of knowledge and thinking outside of the box! And academia bringing out the critical approach side of counter culture, giving meaning to rebellion and directing it in a productive way! This is already kind of the underlying values and aesthetic of activist movements, especially in the past, and we need to bring it back in style
A 90s movie character cliche that should return, fashion wise, humor wise and lifestyle wise. I’m doing my part, you can if you want to there’s really no presh.
welcome back subcultures that have unifiying ideals; my deadheads, punks, hippies, plant-nerds, etc.
take a step back from rapid fire aesthetic trends! dont just window shop, lock in!
so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
