Green Academia Masterpost
since i made the decision to call myself „green academia“ online i thought it would fit if i wrote a little explanation overview on what i think green academia actually is.
Background - i‘ve always been interested in the styles and aesthetics that are now known as dark/light academia, cottagecore, witchcore, hobbitcore etc. so naturally i became a fan of the actual aesthetics immediately when i first heard of them. but everything i have is green. my home, half of my wardrobe, everything and i wondered how i would be able to combine the aesthetics with my favourite colour. i ssearched up green academia - the term already existed in the aesthetics wiki and there were a couple results on google & pinterest but not what i‘d hoped to find. so i began to create stuff myself. by now the aesthetic has definitely gained momentum, especially on insta. the masterlist is my idea of what green academia is, but at the end of the day everybody makes it their own which is definitely part of the fun when it comes to aesthetics ♡
Green Academia Masterpost -
Overview
It goes hand in hand with light & dark academia - the academia aesthetics are always somewhat classic and sophisticated but also practical, can be modern or a bit vintage-y
Works with dark and light colours - obviously the colour green but also other earthy tones like brown, beige and the basics black, grey and white. but at the end of the day one can make any colour work
plants! anything plants. books about plants, plants in your room, plant prints, pressed plants, plant artwork
gardens, parks, creeks, botanical gardens, anything that‘s got plants and that‘s green is perfect
like any academia branch it romanticises learning (always be safe though!) and especially learning anything plant related. but art, literature, music, history,… all of that is still relevant here
folklore, fairytales, more or less witchy things, seasons, wheel of nature all fit here!!
i find that many hobbies go well with green academia: reading, naturally. painting, cooking, hiking, anything relating to tea, breeding butterflies, keeping your own garden/ plants / grow stuff on your balcony or windowsill/…
This aesthetic definitely works in many different ways. Old, ornate furniture would match the aesthetic, but modern and simple furniture would fit it as well. Personally, I‘ve been a fan of minimalism lately and I find that it hasn‘t hurt my love for green academia at all.
Some may refer to it as plant/botanical academia as well but personally, i prefer green academia as it doesn‘t „just“ refer to plants.
The Vibe
plant illustrations
old books with embossing on the covers
tea in pretty mugs
books about flowers and animals
fairytales that take place in forests or meadows
wood, marble, glass, ceramics, stoneware, linen, paper,…
foraging and collecting things from nature, collecting things like books or butterfly wings, generally collecting things
house aesthetics that feature natural colours, especially green. windows that look out into the green landscape
house plants / having your own garden
pottery embossed with real plants
tattoos of flowers and other plants
greenhouses, sitting areas outside in the green
green academia but combined with other aesthetics. lean more towards cottagecore one day and more towards hobbitcore the next
artwork by monet. but also preraphaelites like waterhouse!
you define the aesthetic and not the other way around, that‘s what‘s most important to always keep it real, authentic and sustainable as well. don‘t follow trends but if you feel something deep within your soul and you just know „this is me.“ then take your time exploring it, finding your own way and then rock it. it‘ll be so unique ♡
