Being someone who is mostly found wearing black, my excitement has been through the roof knowing that summer black is a trend that will take over this year. Also being someone who is obsessed with everything Dark Academia related, I couldn't help but thing how well the two would go together. Think go-to formal shorts, lace detailed LBD, wrap skirts, trousers, shirts, linen blazers and more. Here are 5 kickass summer (black) dark academia outfits for you to channel your inner fashionista!

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.

Outfit 2: It's A Brunch Date

Come spring and summer, the brunch plans never seem to end! We're huge fans of brunch dates, which make for the best opportunity to get dressed and chill with your buddies over a cocktail or two. For a brunch date, we think you cannot go wrong with a black breezy wrap skirt and a cropped top. The look is effortless, chic and ever so stylish. Pair it up with heels, a sling bag, and some sunnies, and you'll be good to go!

Outfit 3: Office Wear

For the folks who go to office every day, we know what a struggle it is to get up in the morning and decide what to wear day after day! But if you're a lover of all things black and dark academia, then here's a great fit for you. We'd suggest grabbing a pair of well-tailored plants, a shirt, preferably on the beige spectrum and a cute pair of Mary Janes that scream academia. It's an effortless look that doesn't require a lot of layering too. Pair it with a huge tote and you'll be sorted.
