Ring the Bell of Fashion this School Year by emulating the smart looks of Ivy League Academia. That means save your hoodies for the gym and start investing in single breasted wool blazers, oxford button downs, regimental ties and waxed canvas satchels.  Don't roll your eyes! You'll thank us later for your smart looks that get you the Grades- and possibly the Dates.The Academia Fashion equation is an Easy A with just a few components.

The classic white oxford shirt is a quintessential piece to the Academia Look.  We suggest stocking up on the white oxford as much as you can. You'll soon realize, you can never have too many white oxfords.

Next up, the navy blue schoolboy blazer in wool. This will become your fashion workhorse. In no time, you will depend on this navy blue blazer to get you through classes, through dinner dates and through family functions. This blazer fits in everywhere so we suggest investing in a high quality, well tailored one.

Academia Fashion requires you accessorize with a traditional tie that's classically designed.  You can never go wrong with Striped Regimental Ties.  We are fond of the classic colorways of  reds, navys and greens.  We recommend purchasing this British Striped Tie pictured above.

You will be set with any pair of classic cotton chinos but we love the updated style of overly saturated cotton chinos in Autumn inspired shade of burgundies, olive greens and navy blues.  These dark chinos will age perfectly with every wash too to give you a little rugged panache to your Academia aesthetic.

To complete the Ivy League look, you need a pair of suede brogues.  These shoes will break in nicely and impress you with their functionality and comfort.
