Cute supplies are just supplies that are supposed to help people study more this means that they don't have to be expensive. Having a cozy space to study in and having cute supplies - like washi tape and personalized notebooks - are also part of Pastel Academia. Look for secret gems in the urban city and create your own homely Pastel Academia environment.Ĭute cafés and secret studying spots are also a huge part of Pastel Academia. However, if you live somewhere where there isn't much to explore, you're still encouraged to go out and explore places. For example, the architecture of European-style buildings, specifically universities like Oxford and places like Alnwick Castle, along with countryside and outskirt environments of Japanese provinces such as Chichibu, Shirakaba, and many more. Pastel Academia visuals are heavily inspired by European and Japanese or East Asian cultures and the environment. Pastel Academia stands out when compared to other academia personalities(the elephant in the room, if you will). This is not to be associated with them infantilizing themselves (to be discussed later in more detail). They are optimistic, hopelessly romantic, curiosity-driven, young-at-heart individuals. What makes them stand out the most, though, is their child-like and more immature personality than other variants. They find happiness and peace in the little things like hanging out with a small group of friends or going to small cafés early in the morning, similar to people identifying with Light Academia. Unlike the more popular variation, Dark Academia, people who identify with Pastel Academia are more life-loving. Like other academias, Pastel Academia is about finding romanticism in education and learning new things.
Pastel Academia focuses on having a passion for learning, exploring, and studying. What makes Pastel Academia different from other Academia aesthetics is that it is very clear and easily identifiable.
Pastel Academia is another variation of the 'Academia' aesthetic.
