Comment below which aesthetic you want to see for the next episode 👇🏼💞
Soft aesthetic!! Or black aesthetic?

Soft or grunge girl! 💞
Maybe a rocker/punk rock aesthetic or biker 🥰🥰
Y2k!!!
Dark Academia is *everything*
It's like Hogwarts asthetic
I took a test and I got dark academia which honestly is everything the style too, but I feel like in autumn and winter I dress like dark academia and in summer and spring I dress more cottage core but my “traits” definitely are dark academia.
@@roqayaal-musawy4802 I think Cottagecore and Dark academia are quite mixable! In both styles you can use blouses and vests. Like a cottagecore dress for example with a plaid jacket!
@@roqayaal-musawy4802 cottage academia?

When you wanna wear dark academia ✨things✨ but you don't have any ✨thing✨ in your bank account 💀💀💀
Where all my broke people at 😭
@@mira_duck 😂😂
Luv this comment 🥲
@@sangai4198 and I love YOU random citizen 😂
@@keratin4327 bro this is so sweet, luv u too random citizen😻
I'm actually fine with not having a certain aesthetic it's fun trying out new things and different styles and I enjoy these videos cuz it gives me more ideas to add on to my different styles/aesthetics And usually I just wear what I'm feeling emotionally
Agreed. I also have multiple styles that I like. BUT I do think it's a bit important what kind of items, colors, textures and shapes you like. And also knowing if you can put each item in atleast one look. You don't wanna end up with an item that doesn't fit with anything lol
@@laura_B24 yeeeessss lmao
mine is quarantine aesthethic 😀
samee
@@adiru6125 love that-... Skdjsjsjs
Honestly, this aesthetic is probably one of my favorites but mostly it's the literature and music part that gets me. I don't really dress like that or have a lifestyle like that lol
Honestly I love the writing, music, and the clothing. It's just the reading and constant learning that gets me because although I have the potential to be smart, I'm not motivated at all lmao
Lol I love the music and I like reading books ( like story )I love the outfits and the aesthetic it's just calm but I am not a topper I fail 1-2 subjects :(
Yeah. My personality reflects that of Dark Academia but I don’t dress like it, I dress like your average boy, hoodie and sweatpants. I’m hopping to bring giant cheap suit jackets into my style with shorts tho.
@@rumpalug lol i love the reading/writting/poetry/art/histroy part of it and ESPECIALLY the clothing but I'm not allowed 2 dress that way cuz my mom complains abt me dressing like a boy too much T_T (I'm a girl) she thinks its 2 "masculine" cuz I don't rlly wear skirts or dresses...
For me, it's the reading, the decor, clothing, colors, (Hogwarts😭) and the overall calmness of it
"Hogwarts vibes" - I mean, I'm personally convinced that a lot of people got into dark academia through Harry Potter long before they even knew what dark acadmia was. It's certainly true for me that Hogwarts aesthetics hold a big, nostalgic place in my heart. It's the only style I've never fallen out of love with.
Yeah. Im sat watching HP rn and their style is one that I loved and wanted long before I knew their style was basically Dark Academia. I put two and two together when I had Dark Academia photos up and watching HP. That’s when it clicked that they were related in some way.
what is so funny to me is that i hate harry potter in terms of plot and character, even as a kid i couldn’t read or watch it because it was so boring, but i adored and still adore the aesthetic behind it and the magic part of it - i love the universe so much just not the characters and plot (or author lmaooo)
Lol i've been obsessed w dark academia for years, even before the trend of it, and ive never seen/read harry potter 😭
"Miss perigrins home of peculiar children" is a movie that also might fit the aesthetic, as well as "the handmaiden". For series, "Peeky Blinders", "chicago Typewriter", "Hymn of death" and "Its ok to not be ok" (especially their soundtracks) might fit. ^^
YES CHICAGO TYPEWRITER Okay that may have been a bit aggressive but that kdrama is so underrated and I adore it
@@facesncharcoal4152 I swear I loved the entire mood created during the flashback sequences and it has the most pleasing kiss I have ever seen (HIS HANDS ON HER BACK)
@@rumjhumgupta7137 DUDE THAT KISS WAS LEGENDARY I’m not even gonna lie, I Google that scene every now and then just to watch by itself 🤭
@@rumjhumgupta7137 THAT KISS SCENE WAS ART

Thankss
You’re my favourite kind of ppl
ok uhhhh, that was literally gorgeous, the way you put the clips in the library were to die for and I think im going to need to invest in some sheer black tights
I so feel Joonie and Taetae vibes.
Tae would be dark academia and joon would be light academia/cottagecore for sure!
Frrrr
same same
@@KazKindred613 Tae is definitely coffee shop/somewhere in between dark and light academia aesthetic. He has his own. Taecore

dark academia is the perfect aesthetic for me! my favourite colours are dark green, black and gold, i adore libraries, i love tea and put a ton of effort into studying! i also love languages (currently re-learning afrikaans at home and french at school)
You're South african? 😁. Hi.
This aesthetic may not be for me however, I thank you for the time and effort you put into this beautiful aesthetic. Thank you!
I swear, Nava is the definition of aesthetic
My grandpa wore a dark academia aesthetic, before the term was even coined. Like ... I've rarely seen him in any different clothing. He liked argyle patterns, checked patterns, wool and the colors brown, beige, navy and black. He also liked to wear fancy hats and when he couldn't walk that well anymore, he used a cute, wooden walking stick.
Nava rose content in the morning is like dose of sunlight to me ackkkkkkk
I personally have 3 styles! :) They are alt, grunge and dark academia. Honestly… anything that includes mostly black is my weakness. And the mindset kinda fits me too. I’m so happy I found out about them all :)
See I also adore multiple aesthetics (all the different forms of goth, light and dark academia, light and dark cottage core, any form of witchy or fairy looks...... you know, the vibes) so this series is amazing. THANK YOU!
could you do kid-core for the summer vibes maybe 🥺✨
her makeup is amazing .,. soft and vampy at the same time that draws attention to her beautiful eyes
I am obsessed with the fact that taehyung is part of the moodboard, I always thought that his style aesthetic gravitated more towards dark academia !
I love dark academia, goblin/cottage core, and forest academia
obsessed with the way you said wavy / curly hair adds romance to the aesthetic!!!! such beautiful words!
I know it might sound weird at first, but I would absolutely LOVE it if you could make a LIGHT ACADEMIA style video... If you look it up, it's actually the opposite of dark academia, as the name says. I would be very thankful. ❤❤❤ Btw, this video was amazinggg!
OMG I can’t even explain how much I enjoy watching ur content either if it’s in KZhead or TikTok I feel like ur content is so solid and so well put together *literally standing ovation* 🔥🤎👌🏼
This is everything
ok but im so happy cos this is my aesthetic ! ahhh nava you inspire me sm 💞
Aw man. I'm going to be at school when the premiere happens. This sucks.
I LOVE THIS SERIES!! It really helps me to get to know my style more, thank youu, you are so amazing and creative, this is so good!!
Your lookbook is definitely on the best ones I've seen for this style on KZhead
Man, I've been in LOVE with this aesthetic, thx for making a vid abt it
omg I love this series!! can't wait to see more :)
as a huge BSD fan, I reallyyyy want to try this aesthetic! thanks for the guide queen
woooahh. i've always considered myself as an overworked kid, but then i just never found a style/aesthetic that fits me, a while ago i found out about dark academia and i freakin love it! thank youuuuu
I NEEDED this video, lately i've been having a dark academia/minimal style for my outfits. And I love that Nava did it so good
I love all of the outfits. #3 is my favorite.
I would like to see a soft girl aesthetic or gruge video is very rare but I can't decide between the two lol , Love u navaa! 💜💜
Soft girl would be nice
This was so helpful, I wasnt really sure with the choice of my aesthetic and I felt the need to have single aesthetic...and then I saw your video and it confirmed how much I love dark academia. I'm so happy I finally found my dream aesthetic...now I'm gonna start developing the habits of the dark academia aesthetic
this new series is going to absolutely SAVE MY LIFE in terms of style
I love this!!! can't wait to see all the different aesthetics and see which ones I relate to.
i DO find this useful year round, thank you!
Loving this series!!
Looking forward to this series!! 💞💖💕
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Omg the quality of this video is just too good. Great vid 💕
This has to be the best series you have so far!
PLSSS this is my new style, it fits me perfectly omg
Love everything about this! 💞
Thanks finally!!!
I *LOVE* this!!! You can pull off any style Nava!!
Such a cool vid! Can't wait for more of this series!
I always dress better for school presentations, but I never realized that the style I was doing for presentations is dark academia! It makes me so happy!!
I love dark and messy academia, so i really enjoyed this video!
Omg I’m so here for this series
I am very excited for this series😍😍😍
Since summer’s here, it would be fun to have a summer style guide
Love this style
Please do light academia - it’s my fave! Loved this vid
If you ever come to Paris we'll show you all the best dark academia spots !
ahhhh i went to paris before and loved it
Please list some in the comments:)
Well I'd of course say the quartier latin/Latin Quarter where you can find the historical buildings of the Sorbonne, the Pantheon, many libraries such as Shakespeare & co, the Odeon theatre and just the ambiance of the place. Then all the museums, think the Louvre, Orsay but also any small museums you can find hidden literally a street-corner away.
You also have the big landmarks as they all have a history so I'd advise you really take the time to read the information pannels available in many languages and then take the time to visit the area surrounding it as this is where you'll find little gems, by straying away from massively touristic areas (for example if you go to the Sacré-Coeur take some time after that to wander deeper into the Butte-Montmartre little streets). There's also the Place de la Contrescarpe where all students go to have drinks and feels like a village hidden at the centre of the city, you also have to go to the theatre... There's so much stuff to do I could go on and on for hours !
Please more Videos like this !! ❤️❤️ love you
Super excited for this series
This is everything!!!!!
Oh my God you finally posted ilysm I’ve been checking for updates for over a week now 🙋🏽♀️🌸✨💖
I think it's great this video was made in spring, people have time to prepare for fall
It would be cool to see like a punk rock or biker aesthetic 🥰
Yes!! punk or grunge!!!
I liked how this looked
love this!
Girl … keep these videos up!!
I didn’t know this was even a thing but everything about it is screaming to me 🖤
IVE SEEN MONICA VINADER EVERYWHERE AND THEY EXPENSIVE BUT ITS AMAZING
Thank you! As someone who sort of just found dark academia and noticed it fits a lot with what I like to wear (what I've been wearing bits and pieces of for the last five years) it was really nice to get a comprehensive short look into it. It will definitely make it easier to sort out my wardrobe. (Granted, I will keep some items that go with e-girl and modern style just because social settings). But I will definitely now look for items that flow better with how I want to be perceived. My looks often deceive people into thinking I'm more frilly, less conscious about what goes on around me... And I definitely get perceived as more talkative or approachable than I am. Not to say that a dark, gloomy aesthetic makes a person appear less approachable... But alas, it kind of does.
Love the style that blazer so unique
Imm so Happy youu did this ,,aaaa i love you sm
thank you so much, i recently found dark academia was my aesthetic so this video was amazing. but this aesthetic involves wearing a lot of layers so please do a video on how to dress up in a dark academia way for the summer
I love the aesthetic so much, and I realized I did a lot of the hobbies before I knew this existed! I journaled in a brown book everyday and all the pages were in calligraphy cursive (I write in cursive most of the time). I write poems a lot and write short stories and draw. I learn and make music and play the piano. I'm good in school and get A's. I don't know... but this aesthetic just fits me!!
please do light academia next 🥺
I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE VIDEOS
So excited to make the next one!!
I can’t wait for the next episodes
I swear she fits all aesthetic!!!!
i am so obsessed with this and have been for so long but dont know where to get clothes and room decor that fit it n im broke 24/7 , but imma start working this month and hopefully will archive this aesthetic this autumn n winter :) its also kind of an romantic way of making myself study for my finals this year
that was amazing
omg your handwriting is so beautiful
honestly tysm for this! a streamer I watch loves the dark academia style but doesn't know the basics so this vid is super helpful. deffo will recommend this for him to watch :D
don’t forget some of us are in fall/winter right now so this is perfect 🤍
love this idea!!
So beautiful Video with so mich love and great Details. Great work
This helped me a lot🤎
That mirror in the back 😫💖
i really like that series :) i´m exited for fairy core / cottage core aesthetic
NAVA & JEFFREY GIVING HOGWARTS VIBEE ✨
i love this series cause i am still trying to find my aesthetic but i keep on switching
This aesthetic is definitely me, or at least a light version of it. All I’ve ever wanted to do is read, study and learn more, my mind is endlessly thirsty for knowledge. I really enjoyed my career as a scientist, I can’t imagine anything else, except perhaps science teaching and research. Also preppy, academic style was my first style adult aesthetic, and I’ve always been at home in it.
ahhhh nava ilysm 😩
This was great! I’d love to see more of this series. Can you do a preppy look next?
Dark academia is definitely one of my aesthetics
It’s so bizarre to me that you can “live” an aesthetic. I think people don’t know what aesthetic means. I am curious to know if people purposely choose to live according to a lifestyle? Doesn’t it just come naturally? 🧐🧐🧐
Great point! In my opinion, I think aesthetics are what you gravitate towards. They are what you find attractive and you feel best in, kind of what you just said. “It comes naturally”. But I think the people who “live” an aesthetic are the ones who can’t seem to find what they enjoy or gravitate towards. So anything that they might find cool or relevant to today’s trends, they may just throw themselves into it so they feel connected to something.
I think people find aesthetics that fit their "goal self" and find that it helps them move towards those goals.
Sheeeeesh she is back yesssssss
Ok That first outfit, I could actually fall for you in that outfit omg
So beautiful!
i love this 🖤
This was gorgeous! I wanna see cottagecore!
