I have literally been waiting for FOREVER to answer a question like this, because I love clothes.
First of all : Yes. Yes, a Slytherin’s closet is pure aesthetic, because Slytherins themselves are pure aesthetic and no one can convince me otherwise.
Now I know everyone keeps posting these grunge-y, punk aesthetics for Slytherin house, and I’m like NO.
I’m not saying there aren’t any Slytherins who dress like that, because there definitely are, but you won’t see Slytherin students from some wealthy ancient pureblood family walk around in grunge clothes. You just won’t.
Slytherin is about tradition, and I believe that a lot of Slytherins wear very classy and elegant clothes. That’s just how they were brought up, classy and elegant not grunge-y (no offense).
So : Slytherin values tradition and elegance and the student’s clothes reflect those values (most of the time).

P.S. : NO WE DONT ALL WEAR DOC MARTENS, WHO WOULDVE THOUGHT
ravenclaw: horoscopes, astronomy, stars, space, journals, studying, minimalist, clean rooms, messy buns, perfect eyebrows
slytherin: fantasy, dark forests, mermaids, ocean, beach, grunge, bloodied knuckles, ciggerete smoke, sharp eyeliner, straight hair
hufflepuff: animals, glitter, skin, vintage furniture, knitted sweaters, curly messy hair, happy quotes, highlighter, body positivity
gryffindor: sports, fairy lights, adventures, sassy quotes, activist movements, colorful food, very punk rock kiddos, hoping fences, bold lipstick
my aesthetic is the sorting hat shouting out ‘SLYTHERIN’ before it even touches draco’s head
HUFFLEPUFF: candles flickering late at night; fluffy blankets and sleepy yawns; fireplaces cracking and popping; tying bows on presents for friends; old christmas music crackling on spinning vinyls; knitted scarves and mittens; cups of hot cocoa with caramel drizzles
RAVENCLAW: puffy coats and streetlights; soft piano music in a warm cafe; snow catching on eyelashes and cheekbones; berets and dark trousers; the sound of pages turning in an otherwise quiet library; watching hot breath curl into the winter air
SLYTHERIN: the smell of pine trees and mountain air; glittery eyeshadow and long, dark lashes; ice skating and unexpected blizzards; staying up late on christmas eve; black ink on christmas cards; icicles dangling from street signs
GRYFFINDOR: ornaments dangling from tree branches; apple pie and christmas parties; opening gifts on christmas day; fuzzy socks sliding on mahogany floors; candy canes and santa hats; waking up to see snow; the laughter of family and friends; windows aglow with golden light
✧ study beforehand:
Begin to study two weeks before your tests (or even before) so it helps your anxiety and you don’t freak out last minute. Two weeks before your test is the perfect time for you to start studying one hour to an hour and a half each day. This gives you time to prepare and get comfortable with what you have learned.
✧ don’t cram:
It’s fine to review the night before the test but if you try to learn new concepts the night before you will be way too stressed out and will just end up getting anxious + not really learning anything. Don’t procrastinate and start now.
✧ avoid distractions:
When you get really stressed out while studying, or every 30-50 minutes, try to distract yourself for just a couple of minutes (5 minutes). Take a light walk, play with your dog, or just take a minute, listen to music and let your mind wander. Don’t let it get too long though, this is just for you to refresh yourself. Also, make sure to avoid your phone even during your small break. Chances are you are going to get hooked and end up looking through it way more than what you intended to.
✧ manage your time wisely:
Make lists and plan ahead in what you want to study. Create your own study guides if not given one by the teacher and make a study schedule. Begin studying and study harder for the subjects you need to get a better score on, and/or are harder for you to understand. Analyze your exam schedule and begin planning.

✧ speak to your teacher:
A few days or a week prior the test, talk to your teacher. Ask them what kind of format the test will mostly be like. (Multiple choice, fill in the blank, etc.) ask them what’s the most important things you need to know and study from and focus more on.
✧ make studying fun: use colors, sketches, foldables, flashcards, online games, etc. anything to spice up how you study!
✧ study methods:
✧ more methods:
✧ motivate yourself: how? well, one way I usually get motivated is by reading school related tips and scrolling through studyblrs. but don’t stay on tumblr!! it doesn’t count as studying.
go to school rested: it’s important to let your brain rest. Be sure to at least have 6 hours of sleep before a test. Your health is important, you need energy. DO NOT PULL ALL NIGHTERS.
eat a good breakfast: choose something healthy (at least healthy-ish) that will fill you up and give you energy for the hours you are going to be in school. Don’t believe the “an empty stomach will make you focus better” not true. Some ideas are:
-eggs and sweet potato hash brownswear something comfortable: wear an outfit that makes you feel good but it’s also comfortable.
quickly review: just quickly go through any notes or flashcards you had written whenever you have time. During breakfast, while you’re in the car or waiting to get your test.
prepare: make sure to come prepared. A lot of teachers might not allow borrowing during the test. So make sure you have pens, pencil, eraser, liquid paper, calculator, sharpener or anything else at hand.
READ: go through your test and read everything, then ask your teacher whatever you don’t get. Underline key words in every question so you can organize the problem, making it easier to tackle.
concentrate: don’t let anyone disturb you.
notes: write down things you feel you could easily forget. If it’s a math test, go to the back of your test and write down every formula you remember so when you are faced with a problem you can go back to check. By doing this you clear your mind and you don’t feel as overwhelmed.
take your time: Allow yourself to double-check problems and reread everything. It is not a race.
calm yourself down: breathe, you know this.
* i know a lot of you are already out of exam season but hopefully this can help you for the upcoming year! :)
