Fall into Darkness: The Dark Academia Shoe Trend Takes Over

I’m Sage Matthews, a cynical observer who’s seen it all, and I’m here to guide you through the latest trend that’s sweeping the nation – or at least, that’s what I thought. As I scroll through my feeds at 2 AM, shaking my head and muttering, “Of course this happened,” I stumbled upon the dark academia trend, and I just can’t help but wonder what’s next.

The dark academia trend is a romantic, vintage-inspired style rooted in classic literature, old-school fashion, and a love of learning. It’s all about embracing the moody, intellectual vibes that come with the fall season. Think muted tones, prep-school looks, and moody library vibes – it’s like stepping into a 19th-century novel. And, of course, no dark academia outfit is complete without the right footwear. We’re talking classic loafers, leather oxfords, romantic Mary Janes, and ankle boots that could pass as part of a literature professor’s uniform.

These shoes pair effortlessly with tweed blazers, pleated skirts, high socks, or wide-leg trousers. Whether you’re sipping coffee in an old bookstore or walking to class under gray skies, these shoes will complete your fantasy. The best part? They start at just $27! I mean, who wouldn’t want to indulge in a little fantasy, right?

We fell deep into the dark academia rabbit hole on social media and uncovered the best shoes to complete the look. Take, for instance, the perfect burgundy color of these Mary Jane ballet flats. They’re also available in black, chestnut, and leopard, and run up to size 11. You’d better smash the “add to cart” button if you want to get a great deal on these Oxford dress shoes. They run up to size 11, and all three colors of these classic loafers are perfect for the dark academia vibe. Plus, they’re deeply discounted right now.

These must-have Mary Janes just stepped out of your dark academia dreams and into your fall wardrobe. The slingback Mary Jane heels are just so chic, they’d look amazing with a pair of tights. And if you’re looking for something a little more rugged, the square-toe boots are on sale! These Oxford boots give off a scholarly vibe, and you can choose from three colors. They run up to size 11, so there’s a size for everyone.

The faux-leather chunky heel loafers feature a cushioned foot bed for all-day comfort, which is especially key if you spend your days wandering around a university library (or even just your local branch). I mean, who doesn’t love a good library, right? The E! Insider Shop editors and writers search the internet to find the best products out there.
