What's the best way to look like an intellectual and an academic?

I'm a STEM student but wearing simple tees, button ups, and polos is boring, what can I do to really step it up and look like a wise sage?

I have an 80s moustache, I'm 23 and I carry books around everywhere I go (this probably helps the intellectual look but it's not the reason I do it, I just like reading)

I also have >20/20 vision so glasses aren't an option.

I was thinking some slim corduroy pants or slim straight 80s blue jeans or something but I feel really lost. I'm really short (Under 5'6") and that makes it really hard to find nicely fitting sweaters or jackets.

What can I do, /fa/?

tl;dr how to look like an old academic man, mature and wise.

like this pic but a little more modern and casual

Forgot to mention, my hair is already greying but I'm not balding or anything. Just slightly thick, wavy/curly, brown, greying hair.

Dress like Woody Allen. I mean that, Woody Allen's movie wardrobes are almost always professorcore. And if they look good on a hideous Jew, how much better will they look on you?

Are those casual enough to wear to university though? I feel like I'd look like I was trying too hard.

I hope you are at least partly aware of how fucking stupid you sound. And I sure hope you don't think that being riddled w/ debt and being an obedient cog in the discipliarian culture machine somehow makes you fucking better than everyone else

I kind of have an intelectual vibe
I do wear glasses which helps a lot
The Woody Allen sugestion is really good
for a more 'current' look, do brown shoes, shortish trouser with a little peek-a-boo of the socks, checked shirt tucked in maybe a loose fitting cardigan and long-ish messy hair

Would these work with a pair of dark slim straight corduroy pants?

I think they fit the aesthetic
they aren't brown but still
