The Best HBCU Fashions to Look Forward to This Fall
In just a few weeks, students all over the country will be walking down the various halls of their college campuses to usher in another start of school season. But when it comes to HBCU students in particular, you already know they’re going to strut to their campuses in tiptop fashion!
That’s why we thought it’d be fun to take a look at how some of the students already came to give you a good gauge as to what you can expect here soon. If these fits are any indication, then these colleges and universities are in for a fashionable fall semester!
School Pride
@rea.giselle_ Get ready with me for decision day

There’s nothing wrong with showing school pride and repping it in your fit! Take a cue from Rea Giselle and match it up with a cute skirt or other fun bottom, and you’ve got a look that’s uniquely your own. We love to see it!

A Chill Vibe
Who said that just because you’re at an HBCU, you have to dress up all the time? Sometimes a chill vibe is where you’re at with it. And there’s honestly nothing wrong with that!
Reversible Tracksuits
Now this is a look! If you pulled up to campus with this on, you’d definitely be the talk of the yard! This is one of them ones, for sure.
Denim on Denim
Denim on denim is already a classy look, and this user’s look just turned it up even more. And the special Telfar bag for an added slay makes it that much more of a delicious look. 10 out of 10 for us!
A Group Slay
It ain’t no fun if your friends can’t join in the fashion fun! The way these students stepped at Delaware State University is a good blueprint for how others should show up. A collective slay is always so good!
Unique and One of One
@brezay__ So many people be asking about this fit
I’m glad yall love what I created! #jsuhomecoming #redz #jsu
The one thing to remember about going to these HBCUs is the fact that it’s a prime opportunity for you to develop your own sense of style. It’s the perfect place to figure out what look and aesthetic you wanna go for. Who knows, you may end up looking unique and cool like this JSU student!
Howard Homecoming Shut Down!
This look gives 80s and 90s all at the same time! But what else would we expect from Howard students? They know how to get down and dress to impress!
Homecoming Drip, Howard Edition
If the phrase “drip or drown” was a person, it’d be this student from Howard! The brown-on-brown is doing a lot here, and we mean that in the best way. This is how you do it!
Reppin’ Faith
While some kids may be reppin’ their schools or their sororities/fraternities, you can be like these kids and rep your faith instead! Who said there was anything wrong with that? “GP, are you with me?”
Prints and School Spirit
When you’ve got a cute top, you don’t really need too much going on at the bottom! But there are those occasions where you can have a jazzy top and a jazzy bottom, and it works! Thankfully, this is one of those occasions!
Get Acquainted With Business Casual
A running joke on HBCU campuses is the fact that most students feel like dressing in business/business casual attire is their second uniform. But there’s inherently nothing wrong with that! If you want to rock a suit like this user, feel free and let’em know that you mean big business on campus!
Chill and Cool
For every one person wearing a suit, there are going to be others dressing on the complete opposite end of the spectrum like these cool guys! A fitted hat, a durag, a cool shirt, jeans or shorts. It doesn’t take much here!
Uniforms, But Make It Jazzy
Uniforms may have once gotten a bad rap, but nowadays, with the plethora of creativity out here—they don’t have to! There are still ways to turn them into a “lewk” and these Clark Atlanta students showed you how! This should be a no-brainer to see this semester!
