#Trending: 5 Pinterest Approved Outfits To Channel Dark Academia This Summer
Outfit 1: Linen On Linen
Linen is by far one of the superior fabrics to don during the summers, it looks amazing and falls beautifully if it's well tailored. For the first look, we'd recommend a pair of cool, lightweight baggy linen trousers and a cropped linen t-shirt to go along with it. Pair it up with shades, a bag and trending peep toe heels! Perfect for a college or even a casual work place fit. Also, don't forget a pair of gold hoops and a belt to complete the look, after all, it's the small things that make all the difference.
