I have already talked about creating your own Dark Academia capsule wardrobe – but in a Fall and Winter-focused way, if you will.
This time around, we’ll be crafting the perfect Dark Academia collection for the warmer months of the year!
I have tried to keep this selection short and sweet, and went for a total of 21 items. For practicality, I have divided this capsule into 3 bigger categories: Tops, Bottoms and Outerwear.
So, are you finally ready to find out how to create your very own Dark Academia Summer capsule wardrobe?
Let’s get started!
Before jumping straight into the items, let’s quickly talk about the ropes of this aesthetic.
Dark Academia has risen to popularity in recent years, especially within the confines of TikTok.
Its adoration quickly expanded to other realms, especially Pinterest, where you can find outfits inspo and lifestyle tips about it. If you’d like a more comprehensive guide on Dark Academia, one that covers every single aspect of the aesthetic, you can click here!
In short, this style highly favors earthy and morose hues, and a slightly more ‘stern’ approach to clothing.
Needless to say, the clothing choices tend to lean more towards elegant and Academic styles!

Now that we have a general idea of what the Dark Academia is all about, it’s time to get an overview of this capsule wardrobe!
As you can see from a very first glance, we’re dealing with generally darker shades – much richer than what we’re used to see during Summer. If you’re someone who enjoys wearing black all year round, you’re going to love this aesthetic!
Obviously, this is just your starting point: if there’s something here that doesn’t really resonate with you, feel free to ignore it. This is your capsule wardrobe, and these are mere suggestions of how to go about it!
As you can see, I have added lots of sleeveless tops; you don’t have to do the same if you don’t really like them!
I went about it this way because it gets incredibly hot where I live during the Summer, so it’s just easier to go for sleeveless tops and dresses.
If you don’t really like wearing shorts or skirts, you can easily adjust the length to something that makes you feel more comfortable.
Just make sure to pick a lighter material in order to stay fresh!
I have avoided heels when it came to sandals, but feel free to pick something with heels if you feel comfortable wearing them.
And that’s about it! With these 21 items, you’ll be able to create the perfect Dark Academia capsule wardrobe of your dreams.
Remember that these are mere suggestions, and you should always follow your personal sense of style when it comes to fashion. Your uniqueness is exactly what makes you magnetic!
