Fashion & Color Scheme

As mentioned, Cryptid Academia is heavily inspired by 1960's journalists, thus a lot of the fashion is based around more vintage academic clothes of the era. This means fully dressed, but not overly proper; clothes that keep you warm but you could still comfortably run around or explore in.

Since Cryptid Academia is a very on-the-field aesthetic, it's important to take functionality over fashionability. While the clothes have a charismatic charm in their own right, it's nothing flashy. The color scheme consists of earthy dull tones.
