Dark academia Ravenclaw
-dark blue nails, few of them looking like a night sky, full of stars
-wearing mostly black, brown and dark blue(but burgundy, beige and bottle green don’t hurt either)
-in summer or at home wearing t-shirts with constellations, quotes from books or with your favourite paintings

-if you have an ipad or any other tablet that you take notes on - taking them in brown and blue

-studying smart not hard and getting the best grades

-always smarter than the rest of your friends, dreaming about having a group of dark academic friend with who you could study together
-if you like stem - wearing stem jewellery for example with chemistry compounds

“Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?”
- The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Houses Sense of Style
Ravenclaw
-either the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen that somehow looks amazing or vintage/academia inspired. no in between.
-i’m talking gummy worm earrings, a flower bucket hat, and constellation shirts
-everyone tries to put a label of stuffy prep on us but may i remind you all that one of our house values is CREATIVITY
Hufflepuff
-either grunge/comfy clothes or soft aesthetic
-yes they will be the kindest people you have ever met, but my GOD they are hard workers. They don’t have time to always be picking out cute outfits
- if they’re not absolutely hounded with self prescribed work, they will be the vision of boy or girl next door
Gryffindor
-sporty/prep style or literally could care less
-everyone makes them seem like the dumb jocks, but these guys have STYLE sometimes
-they wanna have fun and they are daring, they’re going to experiment with crazy trends but they’ll do so making it WORK (sometimes)
-the trend setters purely for their confidence.
-however will also be the people who wear dinosaur t-shirts because they don’t care about what people think (*cough cough* my gf *cough cough*
Slytherin
-either professional CEO or grunge
- some will want to fit the stereotype of evil , and look the part because they like to look powerful. Grunge is the easy solution
- HOWEVER, the CEO types will dress for the job they want. they are CLASSY
- please remember that slytherins aren’t evil or bad people. they are ambitious and traditional! they just KNOW THEIR WORTH AND SHOW IT OFF
